Short Gut family picnic

In May we were invited to a Short Gut family picnic along with the other short gut toddlers in Utah.  Lukie isn't really "short gut" but they adopted us in the group because it is the only group we really fit in with.  Short gut kids have the same life style as Luke, they are TPN dependent, have G tubes, and some also have ostomy bags.  There were only 2 other kids there, and the dietican from Primary Children's that makes the recipe for our TPN.  It was fun to talk with other parents with lives like ours, and for Lukie to see other kids like him with tubes and back packs.  We look forward to meeting together again in the future.
