Trying to be a good student of this earth school and live in the moment every day. I am a mom, nonna, and paediatric NP. I am grateful for it all.

Another year of increasing awareness of the lived experience of family/children dependent upon tube https://t.co/4HbZiNJcVX you know more now than you did before it? If yes, success! It’s a wrap! #feedingtubeawarenessweek #CanPaedFTAW @juliecjgraham @stephaniechu_RN @Sanj_Mahant

Most everyone has a device. This should facilitate equitable access to care for the Tubies and families who live in remote areas of Canada, right? Let’s rethink that. #feedingtubeawarenessweek #CanPaedFTAW ⁦@juliecjgraham⁩ ⁦@Sanj_Mahant⁩ ⁦@stephaniechu_RN⁩

Living in an ableistic society and how that can impact children who are reliant in tube feeds has never been something I’ve thought about. Thank you, David, for an eye opening talk during #FeedingTubeAwarenessWeek #Ableism @juliecjgraham @Sanj_Mahant @stephaniechu_RN

[silvana oppedisano @silvanaoppedis2]

Awesome 4th annual family night for our Tubies and their families. Families want and need more opportunities like this to connect with each other! #FeedingTubeAwarenessWeek #CanPaedFTAW @juliecjgraham @Sanj_Mahant @stephaniechu_RN

Athlete, artist, Tubie! Nutrition support makes him awesome! @juliecjgraham @Sanj_Mahant @stephaniechu_RN #CanPaedFTAW #FeedingTubeAwarenessWeek

[silvana oppedisano @silvanaoppedis2]

Our Feeding Tube Awareness Week events are virtual. That didn’t attenuate the emotional sharing that happened during our “Lived Experience” session. Thank you, Tubies and families, for teaching us so much! #CanPaedFTAW @juliecjgraham @stephaniechu_RN @Sanj_Mahant

[silvana oppedisano @silvanaoppedis2]

This awesome teen is the best that she can be because she is supported by a feeding tube. Meet Michaela! #CanPaedFTAW #FeedingTubeAwarenessWeek @juliecjgraham @stephaniechu_RN @Sanj_Mahant

Doing my part to dispel common myths about tube feeding! @stephaniechu_RN @juliecjgraham @Sanj_Mahant

[silvana oppedisano @silvanaoppedis2]

It can be frustrating for families to be told someone else can get their child to eat easily. But this humour is good! @Sanj_Mahant @stephaniechu_RN @juliecjgraham #FeedingTubeAwarenessWeek #CanPaedFTAW

[silvana oppedisano @silvanaoppedis2]

Always fun roaming the hospital with our Tubes On Wheels during Feeding Tube Awareness Week! @stephaniechu_RN @juliecjgraham @Sanj_Mahant #CanPaedFTAW

[silvana oppedisano @silvanaoppedis2]

It’s alwaya hard for parents to make the decision to proceed with placement of a G or GJ tube. Watch this video of families sharing their experiences with other families! ⁦@juliecjgraham⁩ ⁦@Sanj_Mahant⁩ ⁦@stephaniechu_RN⁩ #CanFTAW https://t.co/gQf3TJ17Ms
