CHOC Day 15: "Hey, I Got My Tube Out Today"

Best words ever to come out of Caitlin's mouth. Today was an emotional day for all of us, she got her tube out and was so excited about that every person that she saw today, she lifted up her shirt and showed them her "smooth" stomach and said, " Hey, I got my tube out today". She was so proud of herself and multiple times today she told us, " I am so happy my tube is out, and I have a smooth stomach.", and "I cant believe I got my tube out! I am so happy about that!"

We are so proud of her and all that she has gone through in her little life, and now, its over. Its really over. Theres no more we can do to help her be "normal", she is normal now and its an amazing feeling to know she is going to live a long happy healthy life and she doesn't have to depend on a tube to nourish her.
















I don't really have a ton to say tonight, we are dealing with a family emergency that I don't care to go into, but I ask that as you have supported me in Caitlin's endeavors that you keep our big family in your thoughts if you could.

    I LOVE the first picture. It's something you'd see in a brochure, lol. I'm so proud of you all and you'll continue to be in my thoughts.
