So today went by incredibly fast.\u00a0 We met with a lot of people today which kept things racing forward.\u00a0 Speech came by and worked with us and Greyson to try to prepare him for a swallow study.\u00a0 Unfortunately he is not quite ready for that yet, but we will keep working with him to try to get him to a point where they can do the study.<\/p>\n

We also met with the Dr. and he said from his perspective Greyson is basically ready to go home.\u00a0 The pulmonary specialist will check in on him either tonight or tomorrow and lay out any additional changes that will have to be made before he thinks Greyson can be discharged.\u00a0 We also met with the discharge planner and learned there is a slight hitch in the home plans.\u00a0 Apparently many companies are having trouble getting respitory therapists to work for them so they can’t supply ventilators (you have to have an RT availible at all times to service the ventilators).\u00a0 She is meeting with a company on Thursday that might be a possibility so pray that everything will work out with that.\u00a0 We also haven’t heard form the nursing company, although they told the discharge nurse that it would be fine.\u00a0 She is supposed to call them again today to check on that.\u00a0 So basically it seems like we are down to finishing our training, lining up the equipment and nursing, and getting this guy home!\u00a0 We are praying this can happen quickly as we are more than ready to try this all out in the home environment.<\/p>\n

Today I did the trach care solo, and suctioned Greyson completely solo (no one else was in the room, not even Stacy!).\u00a0 We are both feeling more comfortable with all his care, although when we stop and think about it we can easily get overwhelmed.\u00a0 I guess the key is to keep moving fast so we don’t have a chance to stop and think!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
