So let's catch up...

For those of you playing the home version, here's a brief recap...


Since February 2006 Jack has been hospitalized twelve times.


He has had six minor surgical procedures and one major surgery.


A G- tube, a Mic-key, and now tympanostomy tubes (aka tubes in the ear).


Rounds and rounds of oral steroids for the lungs, inhaled steroids for the lungs, steroids for for the skin, and steroids for the ears.


And of course, antibiotics. Amoxicillin, Augmentin, Omnicef, Azithromycin, Augmentin ES 600 and Ciprodex.


MRIs, Cat Scans, EEGs and a Spinal Tap.


Scores of doctors, most of which have been extraordinary.


Then there's the therapists: cognitive, occupational, physical, and speech.


But through all of it he is still Jack. Happy Jack.....

We are always just amazed that this little guy, with all his trials and tribulations, just keeps smiling and smiling.

Hang in there, guys!
