T.J. Tuesday

Happy Memorial Day! + AMAZING NEWS!

I had a great week. I got to show a friends horse, Gabe (cause my horse Kate wouldn't get in the trailer) he was such a good boy! I got second place out of two people (probably because I was talking the whole time :)) but I had the best time and I want to do it again!!! I got to see one of my NICU buddies at her birthday party and had a great time playing with her. I also went to two cookouts for the holiday. The only down side to my week was getting a huge sty in my left eye, but I went to the eye doctor and got some medicine and its much better now! The amazing part of my week and the reason why this weeks post is late is because I went to see my surgeon today and I wanted to wait until we saw her to update everyone. She was really happy with where I am and how I'm doing...so happy that.....I GOT MY G-TUBE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! She said since we haven't used it since January and I wasn't losing weight she saw no reason to keep it in. At first I didn't want them to take it out, but Mommy and I made a deal that if I got it taken out that I could get a new toy...so I let them take it out and then I got a new toy :) Now we have to pray that the hole remaining will close on its own (they don't stitch it closed because that could cause an infection) they said they usually do, but sometimes the hole need a little help. If it doesn't close and is still leaking in three months I will have to go back and get my stomach and skin both sutured shut which will include being put under and I night in the hospital. So please pray it closes all the way on its own! Mommy changed the dressing last night and this morning and the own was much smaller both times so fingers crossed!!! Thank you for all of your prayers. I'm so happy I've reached another goal and proved doctors wrong yet again with your help!
