You know you have a tubie when...

Here's a little snippet of my life as mom to a tube fed kid. One facebook group asked the question...
"You know you're a mom to a tube feeder when..."
- when Caleb was looking at a toy store at a GI doll. My mind went gastrointestinal and it took me a minute to realise it wasn't a doctor doll, but a soldier.
-You see a cute outfit for your baby, and wish it had buttons instead of a zipper.Any one piece outfits that have feet in them, that were given to you.... have a tiny whole cut in the foot/leg.
- When your holding your child and all of a sudden you feel something warm...you think he/she pee'd through their diaper when come to find out its stomach bile coming out of the med port that never stays closed without being taped!
-When you celebrate and praise your child for putting food up to his mouth. (not that he took a bite, but he tried!)
- Who are a mother of a tubie when your child starts screaming and instead of pulling out a teddy bear as a lovely you give him a syringe and he is quiet


Hope you enjoyed.
