#5 NEGATIVITY
Ignorant and negative personalities are hurdles to a better society. They not only hurt people but also make life difficult for ones who are fighting for their lives and still smile. We don't even know that the strangers standing beside us might be suffering a lot then we can imagine. They chose to still smile and we must do our duty by not judging their scars. They might be going through a lot then we can imagine.
We have a story of one young mother who faced ignorance face to face!
#4 REPULSIVE IS THE BODY OR YOUR ATTITUDE!?
Dallas Fowler was in a line at Walmart when her 2-year-old beautiful baby Jameus asked her to lift him up. She quickly picked him up and cuddled him during which his shirt lifted up revealing his colostomy bags. An old lady behind Fowler seemed to have a problem and started questioning her about what it was with a look of disgust on her face. She later asked the young mother about the bag who in brief replied that he needed that as his colon had not finished forming. She later asked the young mother in disgust to put down his shirt as she found it repulsive. Fowler wished her a good night and joined another line in order to avoid ignorant people. Repulsive is your attitude lady!
#3 WHY COLOSTOMY BAGS?
The colostomy bags cover Jameus's stomas and collect the waste his body expels. Stomas connect an opening in the colon to the surface of the abdomen. Jameus suffers from a rare disease called the Hirschsprung's disease that results in problems with the large intestine because of which this baby hero has undergone 20 surgeries with more scheduled in the future.
But the comment by the lady was quite disturbing and Dallas decided to reply her with ardent sincerity, unlike the lady. Continue ahead to know her reply.
#2 MOTHER SHARED HER EXPERIENCE OVER FACEBOOK
Irritated and annoyed because of her experience at Walmart, she decided to share it with her supporters over Facebook. She stated how lovely and brave her son was and was no different than any other child in this world. She shared that home dilation and irrigation treatments are a part of his daily life and how painful and irritating it is for him to handle those at such a tender age and how a catheter is put into his stoma to "feed" the stool in hopes of growing his colon.
#1 MORE POWER TO YOU FOWLER
Mother Fowler did a very right thing by sharing her experience over Facebook. Not only did she again bring into light the disgust of such ignorant people but also created awareness of such a rare disease. Do share her message and pray for Jameus.
She ended her note saying, “Please be kind and choose your words wisely, especially should you choose to comment about something that is none of your business. Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about, and my son is winning his.â€
