that's what we're calling ourselves today. When I walked into Alex's room this morning, his pressure and oxygen settings were "at target" for performing the tracheostomy. We have to wait until Wednesday, when the surgeon is available, since this is considered an elective surgery. We had to do this last time we were ready for a trach and we ended up with pneumonia while we were waiting for the surgeon. Let's hope nothing similar happens this time.
Ok, everybody cross your fingers and hold your breath...

Fingers & toes crossed -- sounds like he's improving - and that's good news. We'll all breathe for him until Wednesday!
Hi Nancy,
Please send Alex my love and tell him we are holding him in our hearts.
Thanks,
Beryl
Nancy,
I just recently heard about all the complications your guys have been dealing with and about this blog. I've read through your posts - wow, what an ordeal! I'm sending lots of positive thoughts your way, hope things continue to improve, step by step, day by day. I am so impressed with your strength.
Best,
Zsuzsa
Thanks, Zsuzsa, Beryl, and Judy! The ironic thing is that for me the tracheostomy is the "end" of the "worst" part. For Alex, who's been asleep for all of this, the ordeal will just be beginning as he wakes up.
