Things are Good!

As Joey's mom, it is hard for me to see the changes in him. I am with him all day everyday. It is not until someone who hasn't seen him in awhile sees him and notice's his improvements. Which brings me to today. I took him to his Gastro doctor to check his g-tube site. As many of you know his g-tube has been out for about three weeks now. The doctor said the site looks perfect and I don't need to come back to see him ever again. YEAH! Well, that's not the exciting news. The doctor also checked his weight and height. He has grown 2 inches and gained 1.2 pounds since October. I was most concerned about his weight because he hasn't been gaining, so for him to gain 1.2 lbs in 4 months is awesome. I also ask Joey to talk to the doctor and he said "Hello and I Love You and I know". The doctor was so excited he was jumping out of his skin. He kept saying "OMG he talks, OMG he talks". Even when I was leaving the doctors office I heard him say to his receptionist "Did you hear him, he talks, he talks, OMG he talks". He wasn't talking so much or as well last time he saw him in October. He was also very impressed by how well and quickly he responded to him when he spoke to him. When the doctor put the blood pressure cuff on him, the doctor asked him to sit still and don't move and Joey did. It was really cool. The doctor couldn't believe how much he has improved. 

I am very relived. I didn't notice any improvements over the last several month, so I'm glad the doctor did.

Joey has still been working hard at the NAPA Center twice a week. I am also in the process of booking our trip to China. I will keep everyone updated.

Thanks for your prayers and thoughts.
