Bettyjo had her trach removed today. She is struggling with it a bit, as she just got used to breathing through the trach and now she has to relearn to breath through her mouth. Flem keeps coming up through the hole where the trach was, and she is to put pressure on the hole when ever she talks or coughs to encourage it to seal.
The doctor has released her to begin swallowing her saliva. Pray that she does not get another infection.
She will resume tube feedings today, and hopefully she will be able to tolerate it. If everything goes well, I look for her to come home on Friday.
