Welcome to James web page. This page has been provide
to keep you informed about
James. James was diagnosed with x-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. On
April 16 2003. What it is. Is the fatty tissue around the brain cell is detoriating. And there is
no cure for this disease. James is 12 years old. (birthday in June). James now stays at Crotched Mountain in Greenfield, NH. I had to place him there July 26 of 2004. Because I just could not take care of him by myself. Crotched Mountain is a wonderful place. They can do so much more for him then I could at home. And
plus James loves it there.
James has been progressing quickly. He now can not feed himself. He eats pureed food. Can not contol his urine or bowels.He is in pull-ups all the time.And also he is in a wheelchair almost all the time. James can take a few steps a day.
He does have a feeding tube in. Just in case he does
not eat 50 percent of his meals. Also James was born 13 weeks early. He weight 2 pounds 14 ounces and he was 15 inches long. He lived in the hospital for almost 3 months before coming home. He came home on oygen and
a heart monitor. He stayed on the oygen for a total of 4 months. The heart monitor he stayed on for 6 months. James has been in and out of the hospital most of his life. For mostly respiratory problems. I invite you to look at James pictures. I hope he touches your heart and inspires you as much as he does for me.

Saturday, February 1, 2014 5:17 PM CST It has been 3 months since James earn his angel wings. I still can not believe he is gone. Gone but not forgotten. James has been by to visit me it least once a week sometimes more often. He stopped by this morning. He was playing with my wrist bands. Usually he plays with the touch lamp in the bedroom or the nite light in the bathroom. I just miss him so much. I have not even started to clean his bedroom out here. I go in there every so often and just stand there. I love you my little man.
