So we have not put Skye's trach in for months now. I do put the cannula (tail of the trach) into the stoma (hole) each night just to keep it open, but its out the rest of the time. I truly belive the trach doc just wants to keep her trached for the $$$. Yes, there you go, I thought it for a long time, now I said it out loud. They went to do a bronchoscopy last week, but the anesthetist at our local hospital was not happy putting her under without a PICU back up, so her procedure was canceled. No probs, now I guess we will be referred to someone else to decide whether or not we can take her trach out, when in reality I took it out last May. Ho hum, here are some updated photos!
