Nohemi, or Mimi is the youngest little lady in
the Fulp Family. Mimi has microcephaly, and needs a lot of cuddling. Mimi has struggled greatly with seizures and painful spasms. She is the darling of the family, and everyone adores her sweet disposition, thick curly hair, and gorgeous eyes.
Nohemi has trouble swallowing, and cannot safely eat by mouth. For some months, she has been receiving her bottles through an NG tube. However, after months of planning, and working hard to control her spasms sufficiently, it is finally time for her G-tube surgery!
Tomorrow, Tuesday August 16, little Nohemi will
go in for placement of a permanent feeding tube. This will help ensure her continued nutrition, and reduce the changes of infection via her NG tube.
