Hey, It's Jodi, 's mommy. MAN! It has been forever since I

have talked to you. I am just now getting my internet hooked back

up, and when I get my new email address I will give it to you. In

the meantime, you can email my yahoo account.

WOW! So, is getting a tube huh? I have been wondering how

things were going with you guys. I am sure it was such a hard

decision for you and . After all this time him not having a

tune......! But, it sounds like you both are convinced this is the

best thing for him. is doing okay. Still hard to gain weight

despite the tube, and the spitting (reflux) continues. But, all in

all, he is doing okay. We have had some sickness go through the

household. and MAtthew both had walking Pnuemonia, and then

got the Croup! It was an interesting winter to say the

least. BUT, was spared form the hospital THIS Winter.

Well, I don't want to make this a long post, so I will end here. I

would love to talk to you sometime. I am going to try to give you a

call.

Talk soon,

Jodi R.

Hi !

Things have gotten a bit better around here with Willie. He's been on ght

for almost 2 weeks and today he climbed a tree. The energy level change is

amazing. Tomorrow to the gastro. We are hoping, obviously!, to see a weight

gain.

I hope 's new Mic-Key helps him out and that it gives you peace of

mind. You are doing a great job!
