Friday, February 10, 2012. 2nd Annual Feeding Tube Awareness Week - Raising Awarenss in the Medical Community. Today you get a twofer as both yesterday and today's topics are about raising awareness in the medical community. Thankfully, most of our experiences have been very good, but there are three things in particular I would like to tell the medical community as a whole, if I could. Have any of her medications changed? Any procedures/hospitalizations since the last visit? How is her eating? It's been...

Different Paths: 2nd Annual Feeding Tube Awareness Week - How Has Awareness Changed Me

Wednesday, February 8, 2012. 2nd Annual Feeding Tube Awareness Week - How Has Awareness Changed Me. I've been contemplating what to share today for 48 hours now. How has awareness about feeding tubes changed me? Striving to make a positive difference in the lives of others. We got a second chance with Naomi and I hope to give others a second chance too. You can help the hungry abroad by supporting groups like World Vision. Or a small group like Una Vida. The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation. These...

Sunday, October 31, 2010. Delta's History Part 1. Just a few days old. My nephew, 2 months and Delta 4 months. My nephew was off the top of the growth charts. At about 8 months. We were so excited to see her eat something besides breastmilk and whatever she accidentally swallowed of the purees. Delta continued to love the table foods and grow on her curve below the growth charts for the rest of her first year. To be continued. Soon I hope. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Different Paths: 2nd Annual Feeding Tube Awareness Week - A Day in Our Life
http://heidi-french.blogspot.com/2012/02/2nd-annual-feeding-tube-awareness-week_07.html
Tuesday, February 7, 2012. 2nd Annual Feeding Tube Awareness Week - A Day in Our Life. Our crazy nighttime setup. Bethany in the top bunk, Naomi on the bottom, Mary in the trundle and hoping nobody trips on the tubes. And craftily having Mary's head at the opposite end as Naomi's so she doesn't tug tubes and cause huge messes overnight. Feeding her penguin and she gets a bit of water. Posing for the camera! And no she didn't hurt her nose she just loves Band-Aids and attention. A Year of Slow Cooking.

Monday, March 14, 2011. Happy 2nd Birthday Mary Evelyn! Despite her constant "trouble," Mary is truly a delight to have around. She freely gives kisses intermixed with headbutts and has a delight in the world around her that can only be seen through the eyes of a small child. Happy Birthday Mary Evelyn. Mommy loves you!

Different Paths: 2nd Annual Feeding Tube Awareness Week - What Awareness Means to Me.

Sunday, February 5, 2012. 2nd Annual Feeding Tube Awareness Week - What Awareness Means to Me. Naomi wearing instead of eating her food. At almost 2 years. In the hospital with the ng tube. Squishing berries in her hair at feeding therapy. But not enough to survive. Naomi can and does eat orally but she is still g-tube dependant. Naomi can feed herself. She eats on the go too with her backpack. It keeps rotating this pic, but here's a Super Tubie with her Silly Sis! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Turkey disaster diverted and despite two sick kiddos, I think it is going to be a very good day. Addendum: As I was getting ready to upload a picture of Naomi with her "turkey" my computer crashed so I am publishing this from my parent's house. Thanks mom and dad! So today turned out to be an interesting day and hopefully the computer guy will be able to fix our computer without draining our bank account. Links to this post. Monday, February 21, 2011.

Tuesday, May 10, 2011. A Whole New Do! Elijah loved the new hairstyle immediately. After all he had lobbied for it for nearly a year. Although a bit slower, I am coming to love it, how could I deny my little boy such glee, even if it makes him look so much older to me. I must remember that five is quite big. Links to this post. Monday, May 9, 2011. One thing this journey with a special needs child has taught me is that joy shared gets multiplied and burdens shared are divided. TO YOU, MY SISTERS. We have...

Tuesday, August 6, 2013. Almost A Mom's Worse Nightmare. Thirty minutes later I am walking from the laundry room to the kitchen right past the front door when I notice movement in the car. I think it must be a shadow from the tree but stop and look again. Someone is in the car! I run out the door the ten feet to the car and Elijah is in the car crying. I let him out as ask, "Have you been in the car since we got home? What kind of parent lets this happen? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
