We discussed using a swim shirt but he feels it will be too obvious especially until he gets his "button". Of course that won't...

    <P>Yep, it's true. Sean is getting a G-tube next week. No one is happy about it least of all, Sean.

    Traveling with meds

    Heading out of town for Easter Break and I need a "refresh" on what to do with Sean's Nebulizer, HS, and Pulmozyme. Obviously we'll be bringing these as carry-on so I need some advice about how to get them on the plane. I'm mostly concerned with the liquids. Do we need a Dr's note? Original...
