While Liam was off in dreamland this afternoon, he recieved a special package in the mail. Why so special? Because it contained his very special tubie friend! Liam woke up to meet his new found friend and has seemed to declare that they will be "tubie friends forver".
tubie friends is such an amazing group of people who volunteer their time to make these animals for children with feeding tubes.
All ready Liam has laid off his own tube and is now playing with his tubie friends instead. YAY!!
We also started singing a song we made up:
tubie friends
tubie friends
tubie friends forever
tubie friends
tubie friends
tubie friends stick together
Thank you tubie friends! And thank you to our tubie friends surgeon Brandis and her assistant Kaida. Liam absoltely loves his new best friend. Liams tubie friend also helped big sister get a good look at what Liams feeding tube looks like and has helped her understand and be more comfortable seeing her baby brothers tubie.
Awww, this makes me so happy! I'm so glad he likes his Tubie Friend and happy for you that he's leaving his own tubie alone. :) Kaida is my 5 year old daughter and she'll be excited when I show her the pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I just started a new blog, Have G-Tube, Will Travel, which is filled with pictures of tube-fed kids. Would you be interested in sharing a photo or two? I'd be happy to link back to your blog. By the way, my two year old son has the same tubie friend!
