She's got a G-tube, J-tube, TPN and half a million social media followers. Meet Steph Kelly,  a Sydney nurse who's built a colossal community by candidly sharing what it's like to live with feeding tubes, frequent hospital stays and a lengthy list of conditions – including hyper-mobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome, POTS, and serious heart issues – all while leading a full, and often very fun life.

This is a story about a girl called Riley. One of four sisters who, along with mum, Grecian, and dad, Justin, enjoys drawing, outdoor adventures and ice-cream treats in her sunny home of Perth, tube-feeding all the way.

Join me as I chat with this charming six-year-old and her family, along with her school principal, who has personally mastered the art of schooltime tube-feeds, and her new support worker, who also happens to have a feeding tube.
