G-TUBE SURGERY

I am now the proud owner of a g-tube. We checked in at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital at 6am on Thursday morning. By 9am, I was a tubie.

When I got to my hospital room, I practiced feeding my g-tube baby.

Daddy practiced feeding the g-tube baby, too.

That day and night, I tried to walk around, but it was not so fun. So I hung out on my bed and played with cars and planes.

The next day, I was afraid of walking around. So the nice ladies at the hospital lured me out with the promise of Legos and airplanes. After that, I just wanted to wander around and play in the playroom.

After I was discharged, we rode the tram!

PRE-OP DAY

I am having my g-tube placed this morning. So I spent yesterday doing important things, like washing my syringes and looking really cool in sunglasses. Also, during my session with my occupational therapist, I drew my very first person!

NOB HILL

We took Grandma and Grandpa to the Portland neighborhood of Nob Hill yesterday. While they and Daddy went into Blue Star Donuts, I had fun talking to people outside. Then I got out my camera for some good street shots.

BIRTHDAY PARTY REDUX

Grandma and Grandpa are here visiting to celebrate my birthday. First, we went to Powell’s book store where I got a book about, duh, airplanes. After going out to lunch and driving the hills of Portland, we came home and I got birthday celebration #2! Grandma and Grandpa got me a cool car puzzle and my very own camera. I was taking pictures all over the place!

LAKE MEAD

During one of the few windows of rainlessness while in Nevada, we went to Lake Mead to feed the ducks and fish. Even though the carp had gigantic mouths, they were too slow to grab any of the food. Those ducks are fast!

HANUKKAH NIGHTS

Well, Hanukkah is all over now. And I made a KILLING on airline planes! Here’s Night 3: Boeing 787.

Then, Night 4: United Airlines.

Nights 5, 6, and 7 all followed the same pattern. But now I bring you to Night 8…

Whaaaaat? A bike??? Well, I loved that, too, and will practice inside until spring so I can Skuut my heart out once the sun comes back. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for a fun Hanukkah!
