Dear Jake, just want to say "HI", and hope you are doing well these days....:-). Is there any snow in your hometown yet? The first snow came this morning here in my town and I really got some trouble in getting to work. It really came too suddenly and it was not said anything about it in the news either...:-). Have you ever gone skiing, Jake? Wishing you alle the best these to months before Christmas, Jake, praying that God will make you better and that you and your family will have a nice time these next two months. Warm thoughts from Gerd in Norway Gerd <g-husoey@online.no> Norway - Tuesday, October 28, 2008 10:17 AM CDT Christine, I'm happy we got back in touch. I am honored to get introduced to your son in any fashion, this website is a great way to educate others and also to support Jake, who by the way is such a cutie!!! How handsome! I admire Jakob's courage and strenth. I will certainly keep you and your family in my thoughts and pray for Jake to feel better every day. Lisa Orsogna <LMOrsogna@comcast.net> Norfolk, MA USA - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 9:46 AM CDT Hi Jake and family. My name is Cheri Fraker and I have a son with cyclic vomiting syndrome named Luke. He is 15 now. We estimate he has vomited 65,000 times in his life. He is doing really well now. I hope you are better and will pray for you every day. Have you all seen Dr Li in Milwaukee? He specializes in CVS. Dr Colin Rudolph would also be very good and he is from Milwaukee. There is a great team in Cincinnati Children's with Dr Amal treating motility. Hope some of this helps. I have Luke's story on my blog http://cheriandlaura.blogspot.com/ too. Take care Cheri Cheri Fraker <preemietalk@comcast.net> Springfield, IL US - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 5:26 AM CDT Hi again Jake! I forgot to say that the new picture of you is very, very nice.

Love Charlie & Joyce aka grandma J & Papa Charlie <jabetz@yahoo.com> Acampo, Ca USA - Friday, October 10, 2008 5:35 PM CDT Dear Jake - and Hannah and Mom! Just want to say that I have been thinking a lot about you lately. I feel that God has put you all into my heart, and you are all in my prayers daily now...:-). Sorry to hear that things are not going so very well considering the doctors and the cooperation, Christine. Praying that the Lord will find a way through all this, like he uses to do when it all seems impossible. Sometimes it seems as He often comes in our most helpless moments.... I am reading all the stuff I can find about CVS here in Norway, but it seems to be pretty rare. I will keep on reading.... Good to hear that you enjoy school, Jake. Praying for a solution that will make you gain more weight through the year....:-). Still sunny days here in Norway, but also some days with pretty heavy rain now. We have had our first storm, which made the electricity disappear...and also caused some troubles to the tree ferries which is crossing the fjord in front of my window. And the snow have arrived also, down to about 500 m above sea level. I can see many white mountaintops from my kitchenwindow now as I sit here writing this...:-). And many cars have already slided off the road in high places. Wishing you all the best, Jake, catching up on you in not so very long. Many warm thoughts from me. Gerd <g-husoey@online.no> Norway - Friday, October 3, 2008 8:37 AM CDT Christine, I've been thinking about you and Jake- I'm sorry to hear things stink right now :( :( :( I"m praying SOMEONE decides to pick up he ball here- I so very clearly know what this is like- too many drs and no one communicating, and no plan... have you considered asking for a consult with COmplex Care? I don't know if it would be right for JAke, but they do help coordinate drs... Anyway, I'm praying for you both- this is a frustrating (beyond belief) place to be.

The 1st thing I heard you sing was "Grace is Gone". I love DMB but have liked your other songs, too. You remind me of my little boy...well, when he WAS little. I guess he's a BIG boy now - he just had a birthday last week and is 25 years old. My son is a Red Sox fan, too. Did you watch any of the World Series games? They were on TV so late at night that it may have been WAY past your bedtime. It was exciting that they won. I read here that you have been going to the hospital and on doctors' visits since you were a little baby. I'm sure that's not any fun at all. I will be praying that you are feeling good today, and that you have a good week. Keep smiling, Sweetie. I'll keep looking for more of your videos...you make me smile whenever you sing. Tell your Mom "hi!" and give her a hug for me.

Jake is such a beautiful child. I got a little choked up at how sweet he is in the video. Then, when I followed the link and realized he had such health problems, it made me appreciate even more how much his spirit seemed to shine through. You all take care of yourselves and I will be sending you all the best wishes and hope for only the best results and a bright future for Jake.

I am a musician, singer and a huge Jimmy Buffett fan, (Parrot Head). When I first saw your video of Coast of Carolina, it brought monster tears to my eyes. You are a natural! Then I realized that you have a medical condition, and I got really sad! My kids and I will pray for you a bunch, and whenever we play 'Coast of Carolina', you'll be on our mind....from the bottom of my heart. Mark F.

That's the way I look at it at least! I have to get some blood work done some time this week too. Grrrr -- I'm not looking forward to it, so I'm trying to put it off until I can't put it off any longer. I'm not exactly the best person to draw blood from. In the past I've been known to do anything from cry to pass out. Luckily that hasn't happened for awhile now, but I still don't like it. I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying school so much, buddy! You and Sammi seem to be loving school more than anything these days. And how 'bout you, Miss Hannah? How is school going for you, sweetie? Just as good, I hope. Sending lots and lots of BIG hugs and MUCH love your way!!!

If Sammi were going through the same thing as you, or if I had any knowledge of medical info, I'm sure I would have understood a little more -- but, for the most part, a lot of it just went over my head. Can you say DUH?!?!?!? But I am EXTREMELY happy to hear that you're back at home. What wonderful news, buddy! You've definitely made my weekend now. And you're up to 38 pounds??? My goodness! I think that's the most I've heard of you weighing since I started checking up on you. Awesome! I'll keep praying that you're able to continue packing on those pounds. I hope you and your family have a great weekend together now that you're home. My thoughts and prayers are ALWAYS with you. Sending lots and lots of BIG hugs and MUCH love your way!!!

Ashley Jackson <ashjack75@AOL.COM> Colorado Springs, CO USA - Friday, December 16, 2005 3:02 AM CST Hi Jakob!!! It was great seeing that you and your Mom had the time to stop by Sammi's page. We always love hearing from you guys. Sammi isn't too fond of playing in the snow (*there are a couple of pictures on her page of her staring at the snow as if it's evil*), but we're working on this. We want to build a snowman with her and she wants to build one too, but how can we do that if she won't go in the snow? You think you can set her straight on this one? Hopefully the 4 of us can get together one of these days. And hopefully it will end up being at a happier place than the hospital. I know Sammi would love you the minute you meet. Sending lots and lots of BIG hugs and MUCH love your way!!!

I know too well the struggle to put that weight on. Last time I saw Delorenzo they recommeded adding Duocal to the formula. It seems to be working for Kathryn. It adds calories without the volume. Anyway, my thoughts are with you and your very brave little man. nancy nill www.caringbridge.org/visit/kathrynnill <nln1960@yahoo.com> commack, ny - Monday, December 5, 2005 8:34 PM CST It's the first time I visit Jakob's page and what a beautiful boy he is!

I was reading some of the things you wrote on Jake's journal and I have to tell you I've felt the same way about the decisions we've made for Paulina.I decided that even though we probably made some wrong decisions, they were all on the best interest for her, misguided perhaps, but for the best. The great thing about all this is that right now I feel that everyday we can do better, thanks to people like you and your family, you guys are a great example to all of us, so thank you and your beautifull family.

Have all of you been enjoying your summer? I hope so! We were sidelined from going outside and having fun for awhile because Sammi was sick, but we're making up for it now. And how 'bout those Sox??? All in all, I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with them these days. Think we can go all the way? Don't forget to keep rooting on our team. You're always in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing you and your family a fantastic weekend! Sending lots and lots of BIG hugs and MUCH love your way!!!

I am sorry about the 10 onzes, it is so frustrating seeing that.. I know that you got a lot of infmoration at the clinic and I am glad that it was worth while..Keeping Jake in my thoughts and prayers.. Sherry & Amanda <dsbcma@telus.net> Campbell River, Canada - Wednesday, August 3, 2005 11:23 AM CDT Jakob Yeah baby!!! Congratulations on gaining some weight!!! You have no idea how happy I was (ok, I still am) when I read that. What terrific news!!! Keep up the excellent work, buddy!!! Want a Big Mac? How 'bout some KFC? A nice big, piece of chocolate cake? You name it and it's yours!!! I just made myself hungry by mentioning those things, so the sooner we get them the better. 2 more ounces in 3 weeks......you can do that, right? I know you can. My thoughts and prayers are ALWAYS with you, buddy.....but I'll be throwing some extras in for you to gain some more weight. "GAIN, GAIN, GAIN!!!" Christine How 'bout those Sox??? Jim & I have been watching every game we're able to and, needless to say, we're VERY impressed with our team. Sammi has had to miss a lot of games since her bedtime is right around the time when the games are on, but I've been dressing her in her Red Sox shirt every night. My Red Sox lighter has also been by my side every minute and (don't tell Jim -- he hasn't found this out yet) I slapped a Red Sox sticker on the back of his car the other day. hehehe Have you ever seen the movie "The Man Without a Face?" I was just watching it and I thought it was great. Yes, I realize it's an old movie but I don't get to see movies too often -- I usually end up seeing a movie after it has been on tape for about a year or two. Needless to say, my eyes are still blurry after watching that. My thoughts and prayers are ALWAYS with you and your family. Don't forget to have those adorable kiddies of yours shout -- "GO SOX!!!" Wishing your family a fantastic weekend!!! Sending lots and lots of BIG hugs and MUCH love your way!!! Shannon & Miss Samantha Therese <humphity@gmail.com> GO SOX!!! - Friday, July 22, 2005 9:01 AM CDT Jakob Hi buddy! Did you watch the Sox game last night? Jim & I watched it (Sammi watched a little of it with us before she went to bed) and you were on my mind the entire time! Way to go, Sox! I hope you were cheering as loud as you could while they were playing. I had Sammi doing some pretty good cheering and I even dressed her in her Red Sox shirt before bed. Think we brought them some luck? I hope so! Wishing you a fantastic weekend!!! Sending lots and lots of BIG hugs and MUCH love your way!!! Shannon & Miss Samantha Therese <humphity@gmail.com> GO SOX!!! - Saturday, July 9, 2005 1:01 PM CDT Jakob Oh sweetie. I was so hoping to hear you had gained some weight -- not lost some. Every one of my thoughts and prayers continue to be with you for you to pack on some pounds. I'm sure you look adorable as a little weed, but how 'bout we try to turn you into a big, fat beanstalk? Huh? Huh? Hey, I'm trying here. Your Mom stopped by to sign Sammi's guestbook and she mentioned that you guys will be having a 4th of July bash at your place on Monday. Boy, that sounds like tons of fun! And what a great view of the fireworks you'll have. When I was little, I would go to my Grandparents house to watch the fireworks -- if you stood on their back porch you could see them VERY well. I probably mentioned this, but we'll be setting off our own fireworks tomorrow night and you better believe that you'll be on my mind while we're doing it. I wanted to bring Sammi outside to play in her pool this afternoon, but it's kind of cool out. This cooler weather is a BIG change from the hot, sticky, humid weather we've had for the past week. Believe me, this weather is VERY much appreciated. Hopefully it'll be like this tomorrow night so we won't sweat to death while we're outside. Christine I'm so sorry to hear Jakob hasn't gained any weight. We're having a cookout tomorrow night. If he promises to eat LOTS and LOTS of food, he's more than welcome to join us. Oh who am I kidding! You guys are more than welcome to join us anytime you're able to. But it would be a plus to see Jakob chow down on some food. I hope all of you have a terrific weekend! Thank you (as always) for taking the time to stop by Sammi's page. We love hearing from you when you get the chance to say "Hi!" And you better believe I've had Sammi rooting for the Red Sox! Could we be looking at another visit to the World Series? (*my fingers are crossed*) Wishing all of you a VERY safe and happy holiday weekend! Sending lots and lots of BIG hugs and MUCH love your way!!! Shannon & Miss Samantha Therese <humphity@gmail.com> GO SOX!!! - Friday, July 1, 2005 12:42 AM CDT Jakob Hi buddy! 31 POUNDS!!!~~~31 POUNDS!!!~~~31 POUNDS!!! How did your appointment go today, hon? So I'm dying to know -- are you at 31 pounds yet? I sure hope you are! You're always on my mind, sweetie. Do you and your family have any fun things planned for this holiday weekend? Saturday we're going to have a cookout and light off some fireworks -- the usual stuff. Whatever it is that you, your family and your friends end up doing, I hope all of you have a fantastic time! Christine I'm glad to hear you had a good time at the DMB concert. I haven't been to a concert in years, and the only thing I miss about them are the crowds! Some of the crowds I've been in have been unbelievable!! I do hope you had the greatest time while you were there. Wishing your family and friends a fantastic 4th of July weekend! Sending lots and lots of BIG hugs and MUCH love your way!!! Shannon & Miss Samantha Therese <humphity@gmail.com> - Thursday, June 30, 2005 8:28 PM CDT Come on 31 lbs! Fingers crossed for you.

Sherry & Amanda <dsbcma@telus.net> Campbell River, Canada - Tuesday, June 14, 2005 1:34 AM CDT (Tomorrow is Flag Day!!!) Jakob Hey there, cutie! That ice cream party at your school sounds like a blast! Sammi would love to go to a party like that! I bet (between the two of you) all of that yummy ice cream would be eaten up in no time. I hope you have a great time and if your Mom is able to take some pictures, I hope we get to see them. Hannah & Brannon Do the two of you have anything special planned for this summer? No matter what you end up doing, I'm sure you'll have a great time. Sammi's last day of school is June 22nd, but she'll be attending a summer program so she won't have much time off. It doesn't bother her though. She loves getting to see and play with her friends over the summer and don't tell her, but I like the time to myself. (*hehehe*) Christine I hope you have a terrific time at the Dave Matthews Band concert this Sunday. I can only imagine how excited you must be to see them live. I'll be thinking of you the whole time you're there. I can't wait to hear all about it. Hoping this week is a wonderful one for all of you! Sending lots and lots of BIG hugs and MUCH love your way!!!

Your Mom brought it to my attention that you and Sammi are only two days apart -- that is pretty cool! Sammi and her Grandpa (my step-Dad) are a day apart and we usually celebrate their birthdays on the same day. Wouldn't it be awesome to have a party for both you and Sammi on the same day?

I know we spoke on the phone, but, my memory isn't great LOL! I know the surgeon speaking of a colostomy sounded pretty scary, but at least he's looking at ways to help, rather than just throwing in the towel and saying Jake's the way he is and that's it. I truly hope you and dh get away for a couple of days. I wish my dh and I could follow suit ;) Lots of hugs hun, call anytime :) Dawn <dawn@parent-2-parent.com> Long Island, NY USA - Thursday, March 31, 2005 8:16 AM CST hi there. I came across your site while looking up sandifer's syndrome and reflux. I have three children, all of which have had reflux. However, my youngest, my daughter of 3 months, has it the worst. We cannot get her to stop vomitting. It comes up immediately after she eats and it comes from her mouth and nose. We are so frustrated! She is already on Zantac, we have changed her formula countless times and we add 2 tsp's of rice per ounce of her formula. Dr's give us no more new idea's, so, I suppose i'm grasping at straws to figure out what to do. I just wanted to say that I am glad that your son is doing great. Best of luck to you and your family and take care! Renae Swearingen <crswearingen2000@yahoo.com> Calexico, Ca USA - Thursday, March 31, 2005 2:32 AM CST Christine and Jake, I am glad the tests went well and it sounds like you got some positive news yesterday.

Less pain and a happy bd Hugz Nita <skeeter@harbornet.com> Port Orchard, WA USA - Wednesday, January 12, 2005 1:36 AM CST I know what your going through. My daughter will be three January 24 and was just diagnosed with cip in september at columbus childrens hospital. Your pictures of Jake bring back memories of her having her manometry testing. Kathryn has had a ng tube for 15 months. I wouldn't let them do a g tube until they could give me a confirmed diagnose. They've been telling me for two years they thought she had a behavioral problem,can you imagine. I kept on saying a kid just doesn't make herself throw up. Anyway I guess what I'm trying to say is I know how you feel . Kathryn will have her gj tube placement in about a month. Right now I got her into the cisapried case study. So far I don't see anything amazing happening, but I never loose hope. Your son looks very healthy. And I know with this illness that's not easy, you must be doing a good job. good luck to you and if you ever need to talk I'd love to hear from you nancy nill nln1960@yahoo.com nancy nill <nln1960@yahoo.com> commack, ny usa - Tuesday, January 11, 2005 8:27 PM CST Jakob and family- You're in my thoughts and prayers. Erica (Care Mail Teen) www.caringbridge.org/co/erica <one_ski_wonder@yahoo.com> - Tuesday, January 11, 2005 12:35 AM CST Hello Jakob and family! I am so sorry that you have to go through all of this. My son has had a g-tube, he's had a fundoplication and a pyloroplasty. Unfortunately, now we're finding out that that's the least of our worries. He's off the g-tube now but has an immune dysfunction. He has had pneumonia 15 times including RSV at 2 weeks of age. I also lost a baby at 3 weeks of age almost exactly 6 years ago (he died on January 17th). My family is from NH and I have an nephew who has been in the Floating Hospital quite a few times. He was born premature and has hydrocephelus, a shunt, a seizure disorder and is wheelchair bound with cerebral palsy. His first surgery was at Floating when he was a week old. It was open heart surgery.. almost 16 years ago! I will be praying for you and your family.
