Hello, my name is Ryan. Ever since the day I was born, I have had a tube to help me eat. First it was in my nose and then last August it was moved to my stomach. It’s hard to be inconspicuous about it when I’m going shirtless. Several times my friends have said something like, “Hey, dude, you have something coming out of your side.” Um, duh!
And sometimes, even when I’m wearing a shirt, it sticks out. (That’s my cat behind me. She likes to steal the show.)
Tuesday I headed down to Children’s for one more procedure before our upcoming move.
It made my mommy a very proud mommy.
And me one happy little boy.
Because now for the first time in my life, I have no equipment hooked to me…. at all. It’s just me and my cuteness from now on. Here I am doing a catwalk for my mom.
Oh how far you have come lil’ King! What a seemingly small but yet huge mental milestone.
Praying for you with the move and all it entails, having to pack for storage vs door-to-door move is definitely harder – we’ve done it. Praying for clarity of thought for you as you evaluate how to sort your belongings.
Tears in my eyes knowing how far your sweet man has come. Way to go Ryan for all the awesome progress. Think of all the supplies you don’t have to think about any more! Yay!!

Oh my gosh, I remember the day Chris had his g-tube removed and how wonderful (and freeing) it was. Congrats! Enjoy a nice tube free summer!!
