I am finally withdrawing the declaration of me being sick. Although there are some symptoms left I have decided that this is not truly an illness; otherwise, the doctor would have been able to diagnose it. It is definitely a progression signal.

Anyway onto what this post is labeled for. As you may already know I am extremely underweight currently as of today weighing 89 pounds. On may 16th when I went in for an endoscopy I weighed 97 pounds. The reason I just continue to loose weight is pretty simple; I can't eat. I can eat a few things, but I can’t eat enough calories on my own to be able to maintain / gain weight. Thus, I am adding a new tasking order to my board. As soon as I get up and running in my powerchair I am going to begin working on getting a G-Tube. You are probably sitting behind the computer wondering “Why does he want a G-Tube?” The answer is simple again, I want the G-Tube so I can enjoy my food again and not have to fret over the fact that it is just plain impossible for me to get enough calories on my own. With a G-Tube I can have two options, either mom can do intermittent feedings during the day like at meal times, or I could have a special pump hooked up at night that would put in 2,500 calories overnight. I don't know which option I would pick. The intermittent feedings sounds good but that 2,500 overnight via pump sounds awful good too. This is not a critical tasking order... yet. As of right now I am setting the goal that I should have a G-Tube in within the next 6 months.

Explanation of the picture above, that's all you’re going to ever see of the G-Tube, just that little connector. A cool thing is a few days after insertion you don't even feel it there, only way you can tell its there is by feeling for it or looking down there.

Well, as you can obviously see it’s been a late night for me. I am going to try to go to sleep now!
