Pumped!

Caleb got a fancy new feeding pump, and a new haircut, too!


The pump primes itself with the push of a button


and Caleb's as cute as a button with his fuzzy head!





Caleb has gained 5 pounds over the past couple of months! Caleb used to throw up at least once a day, but since having the nissin/g-tube surgery, he hasn't thrown up once! Now all of his extra calories are being pumped right to his cheeks- just where I like them!!

oh Caleb, you are looking so adorable! I wish I could be there so I could pick you up and snuggle you!!

HEY! That's the SAME PUMP as Ben! :) I LOVE IT! It's a great pump, and more portable too. Did they give you a back pack for it? If not, you should ask your company for one - makes traveling so much easier. And his cheeks? AACK! I just want to KISS THEM! :)

I'll begin by apologizing for the long comment. I did try to email this to you but it was returned with a message that there was "no such user here."

Clare got the same new pump last week. It is amazing. Up until last week we were using baby bottle gravity feed units. Which worked but meant we had to stay still and have somewhere high to hang it. After getting this pump, we were able to feed her at the hospital, in the van and in her stroller during a couple of family outings during the holiday weekend. I love it. It is so handy.

Clare is scheduled for her G-tube surgery on April 30. I read today that Caleb hasn't thrown up since his surgery. Clare throws up a lot too. What is the nissin? Clare's surgeon talked about the possibility of a Fundo surgery where they wrap the top part of her stomach around her esophogus to prevent throwing up. Is that the same thing as a nissin? What was recovery like for Caleb? (My email is jadijack@telus.net)

Caleb really looks like such a neat little guy! I hope all is going well for your family

Oh, he is SO sweet. He really is looking good. Congrats on the pump and the haircut - but especially on the success of that surgery.

Cute pictures and so glad he has put on some weight. And in answer to the Five Jacksons--the Nissen is a fundoplication or wrap. It is called Nissen after the doctor who "invented" it.

Look at how much he has grown! I remember when we just moved here and he was getting ready to have his first birthday! He is such a cutie. Miss you guys!

Hooray! Cute boy!!

Hey, we had that Infinity--just a word of caution. The door on it breaks REALLY easily, and it won't function correctly if the door is broken. If it does break, you can tape it down.

How are you?

So glad for the weight gain! When food goes right, isn't it a blessing?

Great pump, Junior will be getting a J tube in the near future so we will have to get a pump, I will have to ask our medical supplier about that one.
Caleb you are such a cutie.
