Meet Sydney Skye!! She was born at 24 weeks in 2011 at one (1) pound and two (2) ounces with Chronic Lung Disease and endured many lifesaving surgeries right after birth. This is a story of miracle child, Sydney Skye, participating in doctor approved, limited activities with her trach and G-Button. When doctors told her mother that Sydney would need to have these items placed in her body, her mom began to imagine the worst. She began to believe that Sydney would not be able to do things that "normal" children could do.
However, as time progressed, Sydney showed and proved that she was a fighter and began to beat all odds staked against her! She shined so brightly and, little by little, her doctor started clearing her for more activities. This book was created to give hope to the parents and caregivers of these precious children and to be an inspiration to other children, like Sydney, who need what Author Tequila Harrison, Sydney's mother, likes to refer to as "accessories to life".
