"I AM FREE!!!!"

Since the surgery Trey was being fed continuously with a small amount of formula every hour through his new g-tube. But the next week or so we are transitioning to bolus feeding (large amounts of formula through the tube) where he will get fed through his g-tube 3 times a day and continuously through the night.

Our dietitian has us slowly working to that goal. So in the meantime he is usually hooked up for 2 hours and then off for 2 hours. We didn't have a backpack that was small enough for Trey to wear. As I previously wrote we were having to follow Trey around everywhere he went. Totally exhausting I tell you.

But our amazing dietitian came through and got a hold of a tiny backpack just Trey's size so we didn't have to wait another week for the one ordered. The new backpack is perfect. He looks absolutely adorable. We say " Trey are you ready for school?" when we put it on. He doesn't seem to mind wearing it yet.



The backpack holds his tube feeding bag and the pump that pushes the formula through. It also has a strap in the front so we can connect it around his waist so the little man can't pull it off which is comforting.



So now Trey is independently running around again and into everything he shouldn't be;) We had another great day with eating again. YEAH for Trey!!!!

"Trey are you suppose to be holding Lily's bowl??"
