Tomorrow is our big day where we leave for Austria! Mommy and daddy are so excited for you, this is a whole new journey that we are undertaking to get you to eat and drink again. I am sure that it is going to be very scary at times and you won’t understand exactly what is happening or why you are feeling how you are feeling, since you have never been hungry before, but we will be there with you every step of the way.
As our song for you goes, “Tayden’s our sunshine, our only sunshine, he makes us happy when skies are grey…” and we are leaving the grey and the bad times behind us and look forward to learning exactly how we can help you and get you independent of your feeding tube. Daddy says that you are going to be a “chick magnet” as you grow older, with your scars from your operations and the peg…hmmm, hopefully they will have healed beautifully by then!
Mommy and daddy are so proud of you, you have been such a little toughie through everything that life has dealt you, always smiling and happy – you have been a real inspiration to us. You have had 21 months of trials and tribulations and we have never left your side, and by your side is where we plan to be when you start eating those Austrians out of house and home!
So, here’s to flying high in the sky like Barney and returning home with you eating and drinking! I can’t wait for you to show me that you want something to eat and have you finish it and ask for more! You just let me know what you want my baby and mommy will make you whatever you feel like!
Here’s to Austria and a successful trip for you!
All our love
Mommy and Daddy
