I know what you're going through, Tre. Syau will be 15 in January. She's on medication for gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. Even one bite of people food is likely to trigger episodes of vomiting and diarrhea. Because we live on a street that leads to an elementary school, children often walk to school eating their breakfast. They discard whatever they don't want in the grass by the sidewalk, and Syau often finds what they tossed away. I keep an eagle eye on her, but Ben's sight isn't so good. He often misses the garbage she swallows. We've had many sleepless nights as he body tries unsuccessfully to digest what it shouldn't have ingested. Sending hugs to both of you 🌻

I was always a writer but lived in a bookkeeper’s body before I found Medium and broke free — well, almost. Working to work less and write more.
