So TRUE....

Don't think of organ donation as giving up part of yourself to keep a total stranger alive. It's really a total stranger giving up almost all of themselves to keep part of you alive. ~Author Unknown

Those That Know...

Those that know Devin, those that know short gut, those that know bowel rehabilitation, and those that know bowel transplant... will be amazed and get a good laugh out of this.... We have an appointment with our local GI doctor (whom we absolutely love... and who has walked this journey with me every step of the way....  holding my hand at times and gently nudging me at times)  The appointment starts with a weigh in, then vitals, and then a "normal" days diet.  I said to my husband last night "how can I go their and tell her what he REALLY consumes in a day.... I look like a NUT"

1 Day... 
*((6)) pieces of raisin bread (and complains he is still starving)
       * ham omelette (extra ham)
*((2)) hot dogs with sauerkraut and a side salad to go with that...
         *his mid-afternoon pasta salad
       *7 oz steak with a ceasar salad (and begged for a second salad)

Yes, this is the child who did NOT eat be mouth for 5 years... gagged, retched, & vomited...  Now he is an eating machine.. and for all you "bowel" parents... HE POOPS EVERY OTHER DAY!!!!!!!!!
