I love a tubie!! 8:34pm

Grace L. Pacella is a tubie baby & even when the tubie is gone..

she'll still be a tubie baby.

 

This past week, was Tube Feeding Awareness week.

My mother in law, just told me that her sister sent her an article on

g-tube babies..and asked if it was okay to send to me.

Sure.

I enjoy reading about other tubie babies..what helped, and how

they are doing.

 

That's why I bring your attention to my friend, Melissa..

who's daughter Addison (turned 2 yesterday!!), and has a tubie

since birth, just had it out as in January..as she is eating enough by mouth.

When I asked Melissa if she thought six months ago, that Addy would have

her tube out by her 2nd birthday, she honestly said, "no".. that Addison

wasn't eating enough to count as anything.

And that's Grace.. she is certainly Tasting, smelling, and picking up food

trying to self feed.. she's in 'training'..

but we are confident that she'll get to that place where she, too will have

her tubie out!!

 

 

 

Here's Melissa's blog, if you want to read about her beloved, Addison

& her twin brother Blake..

Melissa, thanks for all your encouragement to me & supporting me

from the beginning with Grace & her feeding!!

And Congratulations Addison, we are so PROUD of you!!
