Are you shocked? No? Well some people are.
When we went back to the hospital for the bajillionth time my daughter came home with a new piece of hardware. An NG tube. For those of you who don't know an NG tube basically goes through the nose and empties into your stomach. Cary Lynn needed one. She wasn't gaining weight and this helps her out.
I was prepared for the tube but what I wasn't prepared for was the reactions. The sad looks from people, the comments, and the fear that comes with the tube.
I also was surprised about the discussions that took place from tube parents. To take your child's picture with it in our out. Show or no show.
I don't like to step on toes. I also don't want to tell you how you should feel about the extras your child comes with. Each person is unique and your feelings are important. I just want to give you something to think about.
We each come into the world with nothing. We each are given tools and gifts to get along the journey we call life. Some people have the tools built into them. Some don't. Some need more help to make it along the journey. Some need wheelchairs and feeding tubes. Some need one or two items. My daughter needs all of those.
I am proud of my daughter. I am proud of her abilities. That does not mean I am always thrilled with all her extras. I grieved. I mourned. Then I looked into her eyes and said, "We can do this." And we have.
So when she came home with the NG tube I dressed her up and took pictures. I don't ever want her to be ashamed of what she is. Ever. Taking her tube out for pictures does not make the tube go away. I do believe that taking the tube out sends a message that I am ashamed of what my child has. And I'm not ashamed. I am proud. So very proud.
This is feeding tube awareness week. There are all types of tubes and all types of people who need them. I will not hide what my child needs for survival.
Like I said I'm not trying to step on toes. Just giving you food for thought. The way you take it is up to you. But I won't hide my daughter's tools. I will continue to take pictures and celebrate her life. Her journey is unique and her tools are necessary to her journey. I celebrate her journey and her life.

Hello to everyone out here, I am here to share the unexpected miracle that happened to me … My name is Susan Christian , I live in London, UK. we got married for more than 9 years and have gotten two kids. thing were going well with us and we are always happy. until one day my husband started to behave in a way i could not understand, i was very confused by the way he treat me and the kids. later that month he did not come home again and he called me that he want a divorce, i asked him what have i done wrong to deserve this from him, all he was saying is that he want a divorce that he hate me and do not want to see me again in his life, i was mad and also frustrated do not know what to do, i was sick for more than 2 weeks because of the divorce. i love him so much he was everything to me without him my life is incomplete. i told my sister and she told me to contact a spell caster, i never believe in all this spell casting of a thing. i just want to try if something will come out of it. i contacted Dr Emu for the return of my husband to me, they told me that my husband have been taken by another woman, that she cast a spell on him that is why he hate me and also want us to divorce. then they told me that they have to cast a spell on him that will make him return to me and the kids, they casted the spell and after 24 hours my husband called me and he told me that i should forgive him, he started to apologize on phone and said that he still live me that he did not know what happen to him that he left me. it was the spell that he Dr Emu casted on him that make him come back to me today, me and my family are now happy again today. thank you Dr Emu for what you have done for me i would have been nothing today if not for your great spell. i want you my friends who are passing through all this kind of love problem of getting back their husband, wife , or ex boyfriend and girlfriend to contact Dr Emu ,if you need his help you can contact him through his private mail: emutemple@gmail.com or you can contact him through his website https://emutemple.wordpress.com/ fb page Https://web.facebook.com/Emu-Temple-104891335203341 and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay.
