It takes a tubie village: Luke’s story

  • Summary

  • Let’s visit Sydney’s sunny suburb of Gymea and spend a day with a charming almost-three-year-old and his family, shall we? Luke Joseph has been tube-feeding since the day he was born and while he kept his parents, Eliana and Michael, and many medical professionals guessing for 16 months, a super-rare genetic condition turned out to be why.

    In this episode I encounter a dreamy tube-feeding supplies storage system (watch out Marie Kondo), a grandparent who has learned how to tube-feed (hi Kerry!) and an early learning centre where the educators are tube-feeding experts. You’ve gotta hear this to believe it.
