[blindkid] Question about g-tubes

[Carlton Anne Cook Walker]

Anita,

My daughter, Anna Catherine, had a g-tube for 2 years. I am sighted, but I
can assure you that a blind parent (or other caregiver) can certainly care
for the g-tube needs of a child.

Please feel free to contact me of-list, and I will be happy to discuss the
duties and non-visual techniques to perform then with you. Of course, this
offer is open to all individuals in the list, blind it sighted.

Have a terrific day!!

Carlton

it might not be too difficult as a blind person. I am looking to someday
adopt, and one of the little boys on adoptuskids.org I am interested in has
a g-tube. Thank you in advance for any assistance. Anita
