Well today was another big day for us.\u00a0 Being May 1 it was time to do a trach change.\u00a0 This means we had to pull out the trach in Greyson’s throat and insert a new one.\u00a0 Since Stacy put the new one in last time, it was my turn today.\u00a0 We got all the safety things organized and were getting ready.\u00a0 I was still working on gathering the courage to do it when all of a sudden Stacy started counting and pulled out the old trach.\u00a0 Now I was staring down at his stoma thinking “but I’m not ready!!!”.\u00a0 I slid the new one in and it really wasn’t that big of a deal, it was just the thought of it all that was difficult to get past.<\/p>\n

Tonights picture shows how we can transport Greyson from the living room to his room.\u00a0 I finally figured out how to arrange everything so that I could move him to a different room by myself.\u00a0 Of course it takes at least two other trips to move all the power cords and the suction machine, but at least he can be moved by just one person!<\/p>\n

This is a picture from just a few minutes ago.\u00a0 He was pretty tired and fell right to sleep after we put him in his crib.\u00a0 We are working hard to get his bath, trach care, and clothing change done earlier so we can get him in bed around 9.\u00a0 After a VERY long time we are trying to establish a bit of a routine for him.\u00a0 It was nice because today he took an afternoon nap but didn’t sleep too long.\u00a0 This made it possible for me to play with him when I got home from work.<\/p>\n

Stacy showed her excellent Doctoring tonight by realizing that we could put a little more water in his cuff (the balloon in his trach) in order to help him take deeper breaths and make the vent stop alarming.\u00a0 Way to go Stacy!\u00a0 She really is amazing and the Westfall boys are sure lucky to have her around!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
