    We had awesome visits with Piper both Saturday and Sunday. She is noticeably bigger and stronger, than just a couple of months ago. It seems like her new feeding schedule has helped reduce the vomiting a bit, since she has reverted to the G-tube from the GJ-tube. Something that is really cool though, is that…

    Reagan and I wanted to make sure that we took full advantage of the remaining warm-weather weekends (the alliteration is for flare). We definitely got our plan off to a banging start this weekend. We took a lot of pictures too, but I haven’t even had a chance to load them up yet, plus I…

    Here is a copy of one of the timer pics that we took the other night at WFC. I copied the monochromatic aspects and lowered the saturation. You can actually tell that it is us in this version. Anyway, Gothamist thought it was a cool pic too. They used the same one that Reagan and…

    Our Alley at night — ↓ Piper’s doctor called me yesterday to tell me that they switched out her GJ tube for a regular G-tube, again. They said that the GJ tube seemed to be leaking and may have come dislodged. I was surprised that they didn’t need our consent, and that they could do…

    Reagan and I have been totally stressing about the funding situation under which Piper went back to Blythedale. I have gone into detail about it in previous posts. Well, I have been leaving messages, since the middle of last week, trying to get a hold of the woman who was working on Piper’s SSI application.…
