I wish this had been available for you when you were little, but I hope this helps ease your heart a bit.
I'm retired from pediatric nursing and I'm happy to tell you that there is a place to get a stuffed animal with a trach and/or a feeding tube or button, CV line, or O2 tubing. I've sent many parents there over the years.
children can change the stuffed animal's button, fit a feeding tube in there, and so on. they can change the trach ties or the trach of the doll. the dolls are free to children with medical devices. :)

Oh this has made my day - no, my month! Thanks so much for sharing this with me. ❤️ It makes me happy to know that this exists. ☺️
Perhaps this explains our propensity towards empathy, because we know ourselves that what goes unspoken still matters.
Well said!
It's stories like this that help push the discourse and drive progress. Thank you so much for sharing, Cassandra 💕 P.S. that photo of you is so sweet!
Thank you for the kind words Lauren! ❤️
The picture of you with your doll house looks so much like your mom!! I was shocked. 💖💖
