The trach is out!!!! This is such a significant event because when we first made the decision to move forward with Dad's care, we made the decision to have the trach and the peg (feeding tube) inserted. We always viewed these procedures as temporary...one of the nurses at Riverside suggested that we look at them like crutches. Things that are needed to aid in Dad's recovery. We remained hopeful that one day, the crutches would no longer be needed. We're now one crutch down, and one left to go.
