Alanna and Graham Budd.

Just call me J.J.

Hi, my name is Jude Jameson Budd, I'm the newborn son of Alanna and Graham Budd. I also have a big sister Josie, oh boy, don't even get me started,,,, Josie thinks I stole all of Mom and Dad's attention. While that might be true, it certainly was not my intent.

Unfortunately, I'm born with serious medical issues in my digestive system. It's really complicated but I'm tough, and with a lot of medical intervention I can overcome these issues. I'm not even two weeks old and I've already undergone one major surgery, with several more to come. Did I mention, I'm tough?

Well, this is all happening at the Vancouver Children's Hospital, Mom, Dad, and sometimes Josie are staying at Ronald Macdonald house. They tell me I live in a place called Kimberley, but I'm not so sure, seems too me this hospital is where I'm going to be for awhile.

Mom and Dad are so worried about me and always there for me, but I worry about them as well. Overheard Dad saying something about keeping the wolves from the door. Not sure what that means ,,,,but I kind of look forward to seeing a wolf one day .

Any support for Mom, Dad and Josie would be appreciated.
