The Button Story

The small boy stood in the middle of the living room floor, the toes on his one bare foot curling and uncurling against the wood. He signed, "Help."

No one had any idea what he wanted help doing. So they asked, "Show us what you want help with."

Toby lifted his shirt and revealed a rounded belly that shockingly lacked the button for his g-tube. He then pointed at the floor a couple of feet away where lay the missing button.

Naturally, a few minutes of excitement ensued until the button was safely back where it belonged.

There's nothing like a happy ending.
