It is so nice to wake up at home.
Garren made through the night pretty well. The nurse has to wake him up often to help him clear his throat so he can keep his airway clear. It's just a matter of time. It's a new phase of his recovery. We got rid of the trach, and now we face new and different challenges.
Another great thing about having the trach out is that Garren can go swimming. Several weeks ago Garren was asking about going to the beach. We told him that we would go after his trach came out. So the first thing he said after it came out was "we can go to the beach now!" I'm looking forward to getting him into a pool to work on some therapy. That is going to be so good for him!
We had to take the rug out of the living room. Every time he tried to drive his chair into the living room he would catch the rug, and ended up rearranging the living room every time. It was pretty funny!

More progress! This is so encouraging to read about all of this, even though for you, it might not be going as quickly as you desired...how intricate our bodies are created...so glad the trach is gone...now, on to swallowing....when that happens, you better be prepared to fill your freezer with food!! (if there is any left to freeze!) Continue to trust, continue to try...continue....love & prayers, Sandy and Russ
Our pool is open and available all of the time!
