Ninja Warrior
We should have known from this picture that Abbie had lightning quick ninja reflexes, but we were fools and turned our backs for one minute. In that one minute, Abbie managed to do this:
Yes, she pulled out her feeding tube! The feeding tube that we tried so valiantly to keep in! And you can tell she was pretty proud of herself! (ok, this picture was staged, but isn't it perfect?). Anyway, we had to call a home care nurse to come and watch us put it in since we've never done it ourselves. We had to try three times to get it all the way down her nose to her stomach and little Abbie was not a happy camper! I have never seen her as upset as she was last night! We felt terrible, but of course she was just fine a few minutes later. Now if she pulls it out, we can put it back in all by ourselves, not that it's a happy event, it'll just be nice to not have to call a nurse to observe. 
Even as a staged photo, the look of triumph on her face is hilarious! It's as if she's been plotting this for quite some time and FINALLY achieved her goal... As much as you two might not want to hear it, she may have discovered a fun little "game" to play now! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! Funny that she was so triumphant!!! Kids are funny like that!
ReplyDeleteOh man I had a hard time reading this. You guys are amazing! I can't imagine inserting a feeding tube in my child. I don't do very well with all that medical stuff. Hopefully that doesn't happen again, but good thing you know how to handle it if it does!
ReplyDeleteI would totally come help you if I was up there!! And if you just need someone to talk you through it call me. And I LOVE that picture of her. Now she's figured out it comes out you might be in trouble.
