ASHER'S TUBE IS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i hadn't run a feed through that tube in almost 3 months, because he's eating so much on his own. so much so that, you may remember, he has actually gained weight since the fall. that's right! my little man, who didn't eat by mouth for 2-1/2 years, is eating everything by mouth now!!!!
and taking his meds orally, too!!!!!!
which means that, anymore, the only thing the tube has been good for has been collecting bacteria. boo!!! so this afternoon, after he'd been begging me for days, the tube came out.
for good.
it's all bandaged nicely now, and asher couldn't be more proud of himself. and the other kids are proud of him, too (just ask the cashier at wal-mart! LOL). and me... well, there are no words for how proud i am of asher. he's come a long way. it wasn't so long ago that eating and drinking was just too much for his little heart. and then with the nerve injury, swallowing anything could have killed him. and now look at him!!! growing and thriving and just being a NORMAL BOY!!!!!!!!!!
this is probably the most amazing day asher's had in a VERY long time. :) it just shows how absolutely miraculous this boy truly is. and now, how absolutely normal he is.
