[@Preppymaddy370]

Aw he is so cute he is so brave I used to have a g tube three times and a line and finally got them gone

[@elizabethb1096]

I’m thrilled to know he is doing so well! At least something good happened following 11/5. Cute t shirt towards the end.

[@ShannonAndersen]

Awe, thank you so so much!!🤍

I am a fellow tubie and have had my tube for about 10 years now. I also take care of a little girl who has one. Something that has really helped me (especially in the beginning) is using calmoseptine ointment and alum powder (in the spice section at the grocery store) to treat granulation tissue. You mix it together to create a paste then apply it to the stoma. It can sting a bit at first, but it doesn't hurt nearly as much as the silver nitrate that the doctors will try to treat you with. It works wonders.

You are so pretty

Prayers for Cole 🙏🏻🤞🏻 💙

[@ShannonAndersen]

[@MonicaCeçil-v6v]

My youngest needed a gi tube feed since she couldn't gain weight it was the best thing ever and I could even put her medicine in it

[@Stargretchen24]

Prayers for Cole 💙 why does he need a feeding tube ? Sending healing hugs and love ❤

[@ShannonAndersen]

thank you!!!🫶🏻 its to manage his glycogen storage disease - I went into a bunch of detail on my instagram and have a highlight tab saved outlining all of the reasons we made this decision if you're curious💞

[@sky-hv4zo]

Im new just subscribed and turned notifications on for every video

[@ShannonAndersen]

ahh thank you!!!

[@EmmaYoung0316]

They let you stay with him during the surgery? Is that him sleeping with the anesthesia?

[@ShannonAndersen]

nope that's after he came out of surgery and was coming off the anesthesia!

[@chelciewentzel8191]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@MonicaCeçil-v6v]

I always keep extra supplies with me because you never no and she had the slow feeding tube blthen I didn't need to burp her I would use a different kind of syringe and it would burp her my daughter miracle got her at 9 months old

[@MadisonGrover-x4r]

Why do you have to fast when you get surgery anyway?😊

[@ShannonAndersen]

I believe it’s mostly for the purposes of anesthesia! So that the metabolism of the anesthetic isn’t affected during the procedure

[@ericaaubie860]

Shannon Anderson WHY DOES COLE NEED A FEEDING TUBE? HE SEEMS SO HEALTHY.

[@ShannonAndersen]

haha he mostly is!! but he has a rare disease that can only be managed with frequent doses of cornstarch which are easiest and best fed through a tube. I went into a bunch of detail on my instagram and have a highlight tab saved outlining all of the reasons we made this decision if you're curious💞

[@desireegibson3489]

Can you tell us on KZbin because I don't have Instagram

[@madisynmadson3276]

I have a g tube too😊

[@ShannonAndersen]

awe so cool!! tubie club!!!

[@heatherschall6470]

I have a j tube cuz I can't get a g tube cuz I would throw the formula back up it probably won't happen with the g tube but with my j tube if I get black things in my tube I know it needs to be changed

[@ShannonAndersen]

my best friend has a J tube as well!! love that that option exists, too!! thanks for the tip!! good to know!!

[@elizabethb1096]

Does he get absent seizures?

[@ShannonAndersen]

No he’s never had a seizure!

[@LillianCren-t7e]

Why does he need a feed tube

[@TrishaD.Knight]

What happened to Cole

[@ShannonAndersen]

Nothing in particular! This is just to help manage his GSD!

[@dant-h-fp9qe]

I I hope one day He doesnt need a feeeding tube anymore one day

[@ShannonAndersen]

that day will definitely come when he's a little older!!!

[@SuperMarioSourPatch]

why does he need a g tube when he can eat normal
