Well yesterday we got the trach caps and today Greyson had his trach capped for 2 half hour sessions (so a total of one hour with his trach capped today).\u00a0 We are taking it slow and easing him into wearing the cap as he seems to breath a little faster and maybe harder while he has it capped.\u00a0 Oh in case you didn’t get what that is, this means we put a plastic cap over the trach so all of his breathing is done through his mouth and nose, basically it makes it like there is no trach (although it is taking up space in his neck, so there is an effect still having it).\u00a0<\/p>\n

We are praying he adjusts well to having it capped, and does so quickly as we got word this week that his sleep study will be on Feb. 5.\u00a0 That’s just two weeks from tomorrow!\u00a0 For the sleep study Greyson will have his trach capped all night (provided he does OK) and will go without the ventilator or oxygen (at least that is the goal).\u00a0 If this goes well the next step is a bronchoscopy and as long as there is no damage (which we don’t have any reason to believe there is) we look at scheduling a time to spend the night in the hospital so they can take the trach out and put a bandaid on it.\u00a0 (They don’t sew the stoma closed unless something has gone “wrong” and they have to sew it closed)<\/p>\n

So pray he stays healthy and adjusts to the cap so the sleep study goes well.\u00a0 I believe if the sleep study goes well that will be the end of the vent so that will be a huge blessing even if it takes a bit longer to get the trach out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last night Greyson was so fun.\u00a0 He was laughing at Stacy and I (well hopefully WITH Stacy and I although it was hard to tell!) as we did all kinds of things with him.\u00a0 He gets really wound up at night now and is just a blast to play with.\u00a0 We’ll try to get some more video or at least some new good pictures soon.\u00a0 These are GOOD days and we thank God for every one of them!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
