Toby Toes Update with GI ;
So everything that day went totally unexpected, it went well though, although I was beyond anxious & even to the point of feeling sick to my stomach, I feel we got more accomplished this time around & here’s why;
For Toby’s unique GI complications, there’s a lot of unknowns to why and how to treat him,
Toby’s been TPN, GJ dependant and connected to an external drain bag for so long, with irritable intestinal tract, having a very hard time absorbing calories, dumping, gerds, ect ect. His GI issues don’t have the text book answer s.
For any newer followers to this Journey-
this is the second hospital for GI to try & help Toby, the first hospital, kept Toby boy inpatient for months on end, ending with newer drs coming on board, not hearing our concerns nor working together, with not knowing Toby’s case well or understanding his complications to why,
So we ended having to seek for more help elsewhere.
There were a lot of difficulties getting to the second hospital even down to obtaining Toby’s own medical records, and with any complex medical kiddos, not having there records at a whole new place, let me tell you, it was a beyond hard & frustrating situation, but this is a whole other experience for another time.
Back to the other days meeting.
I actually had the strength to just tell the social worker everything, the frustrations & how we feel, we’re not all working together.
We have a big team meeting now coming up the 2 nd week in August & hopefully everyone involved should now know how we are all feeling about the current situation.
Thank you everyone for giving me the strength to just do this, to truly advocate for our Toby boy 🙏🏻 standing up for Toby again finally!!!!!!!!
I was so anxious, terrified really and I even feel a bit sick to my stomach now, but Toby deserves so much more, I didn’t want to except being stuck in limbo anymore,
he deserves a chance to a happy healthy life, like getting back to being able to be strong enough for PT equipment.
I love this boy too much to just watch these doctors do this anymore, I truly know him best & Tobys capabilities, everyone here your such a beyond blessing to help guide us there, Truly thank you.
I’m building myself up again, or trying anyways, advocating this area of Toby’s journey has knocked me down, for a while, but I’m ready again & thank you everyone here for loving , praying & just being here for us, Words can’t express how blessed Toby & I are for you all.
Toby Toes is happy today, swinging his Toes in the air lol.
Happy Friday everyone 👣
