Oi povo. Tudo bem com vocês? Espero q sim

Bom, Alicinha nasceu de 39+2 por um sofrimento fetal que até hoje (após 3 anos) não sabemos o motivo; por ter sido uma gestação totalmente tranquila, sem nenhum motivo aparente! Fizemos alguns testes genéticos, outros exames pra fora, revisão de prontuário, biópsia da placenta e nada deu alterado!

Ficamos na UTI neo por 72 dias, 36 dias entubada e os outros 36 ficamos entre cpap, bipap, O2 livre, por fim conseguimos o desmame do O2 e fomos pra saga da alimentação.

Começamos a fazer alguns estímulos com a fonoaudióloga; peito, mamadeira, chupeta, chuquinhas… mas nada fazia Alicinha ter a sucção (dessa vez eu juro que pra mim foi por falta de estímulo suficiente dentro da UTI). Fizemos de tudo, mas ela não pegava de jeito nenhum! Tivemos que fazer uma gastrostomia (a famosa GTT), um furinho na barriga que chega até o estômago pra que ela conseguisse se alimentar, já que no hospital Alice não podia sair com a sonda nasoenteral (sondinha no nariz). Fomos transferidas de hospital e então fizemos a cirurgia pra tão sonhada alta 🥹🫶🏻

Foram dias difíceis, muitas inseguranças, medos, receios.

Ela nasceu dia 24/03/2020 quando a pandemia BOMBOU, não podíamos ter visitas, nem ajudas psicológicas, não conseguia saber de nada, ficava tudo escuro, sem graça, meu sonho desabou nas minhas mãos!

Maaas pra falar do relato do que foi viver o luto na UTI e sozinha, vou contar em outro post!

Ce gostou? Então dê um alô pra essa babyzinha 🫶🏻

February 6-10 is Feeding Tube Awareness Week!

The beginning of February was selected because of its proximity to Valentine’s Day, because we love our feeding tubes. This is my first year as a tubie and I’m looking forward to learning more about feeding tubes and the conditions that necessitate them! I do love my tube, it saved my life!

I am an adult with a feeding tube, and a lot of the awareness and attention surrounding these medical devices is child focused. A lot of children depend on tube feeding to thrive, but there are plenty of disabled adults that depend on tube feeding as well! In 2017 there were approximately 438,000 people with feeding tubes in the US, and 60% of them are adults.

I have gastroparesis, which directly translates to paralysis of the stomach. My stomach doesn’t grind food the way it’s supposed to, and my pylorus sphincter at the bottom of my stomach doesn’t open well to pass food and liquids through. While gastroparesis has a range of impact and severity, I have a very severe case, and I am no longer able to eat or drink by mouth for nutrition. I am 100% tube fed. I went into starvation ketoacidosis prior to my placement.

Tube feeding, or enteral nutrition, has several different forms. There are nasal tubes and there are surgical tubes. Nasal tubes can go into your stomach (NG), duodenum (ND), or your jejunum (NJ) and are typically for short-term use. They can be used for acute illness and malnutrition, or to trial tolerance of enteral feeding. Surgical tubes go into your stomach (gastrostomy/G) jejunum (jejunostomy/J) or both (gastrojejunostomy/GJ) and they’re for chronic conditions and/or long-term use. I have a GJ tube and it looks like this:

I have a GJ tube so that I can bypass my paralyzed stomach and feed directly into my intestine. I can also drain stomach contents from the gastric port, which allows me to drink liquids and drain them out before they make me sick. Different people will have different tubes depending on their diagnosis and prognosis! Some people have one form of tube, and others have separate G and J tubes.

There are over 400 conditions that can require tube feeding. Some of those include

Gastroparesis

Intestinal dysmotility

Cancer

Intestinal failure

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis)

Cerebral Palsy

Congenital/chromosomal conditions

Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Several trisomy conditions

Prematurity

Other conditions not mentioned in the link above include

Hyperemesis gravadarium, severe nausea/vomiting during pregnancy to the point of significant weight loss and electrolyte imbalance

Acute trauma requiring bowel rest

Eating disorders

This week, I want to promote visibility for disabled adults with feeding tubes. I didn’t know anything about enteral nutrition until I got sick. Once I had a confirmed diagnosis of gastroparesis, the reality that I was facing forced me to learn and adapt quickly to a completely life changing treatment. I know there are other adults like me, as well as tubie adults that used to be a child with a tube!

Nicky Ricky (Majestic Rep) with Disability Aids and a Feeding Tube bc why would Ocean say that if he doesn't have feeding tube

Hydrated king

(Ok but for real!!! My home health nurse ass was so glad to get to this one!! Like you I also hc that Ricky actually Does have a feeding tube. I’ve seen some folks draw him with an nasogastric tube (the kind that goes in one nostril) but personally I feel he would actually have a gastrostomy (directly into the stomach like the one in this drawing). Not sure which type you had in mind so I just went with the type I envision that seems to get less visibility and awareness. Thanks for the awesome req, I hope you like what I drew!!)

Ruth is a 16-year-old Israeli with cerebral palsy and has to be fed through a gastrostomy tube. She was with her father Arik at Nova peace music festival because she loves music. Arik was seen carrying his daughter Ruth with Hamas terrorists chasing them down. They're now being held hostage in Gaza by Hamas. The levels of barbarity to hold a girl with disabilities in this way... Help bring her home now.
