I mean really! If you're using a public area (i.e. TCC parent kitchen area), wouldn't you have enough damn sense and common courtesy to clean up after yourself?! Obviously the answer if a big fat freakin' NO! But hey, that's alright. Nothing I'd like to do better than to clean up your sugar and cream packets after you made your coffee, you lazy slob stranger. Oh, and if was also you who then spilled the coffee in the microwave and didn't bother to wipe it up, hey no worries, I cleaned that up for you, too. Because I have nothing else to do besides clean up after your sorry, no-good ass. I mean, you know, I don't have a kid on this unit, too or anything.
Okay, I feel 10x better now. Just had to get a little venting in today. Honestly, that's the biggest of our worries right now. Pretty cool, huh? Colby has had a great couple of days. Yesterday he had two 30-minute windows off the vent. The 1st one went great up until the very end, then he had an oxygen dip. But never fear, Super Mama handled it. A little trach suctioning, popped that vent back on and ta-da, his oxygen was back in the 90's in no time. That's the first oxygen drop he's had since surgery. His 2nd window was "uneventful" and as you know, we love that. We sat him up in his wheelchair for an hour, and 30 minutes of that were a vent window. Colby is kickin' some trach ass, wouldn't you say?
Today we gave Colby a bath. De accessed his other port since he hasn't used it since being in the TCC. Hopefully around 2:30/3:00, after his 1:00 cough treatment and 2:00 feeding, we can get Colby up in his chair and get him OUTSIDE for a bit. The weather here is perfect for it. Those are our exciting plans for the day. I'm thinking maybe take a nap later. Go for a walk outside. Watch the Reds if they're on tonight. Oh yeah, big exciting agenda going on around here lol. Colby's dad is coming up tomorrow and we're going to cram all the trach education/training in we can during his visit. Don't want to be stuck up here waiting for him to get his trach stuff done.
Going to head back to the TCC now. I'm over at Ronnie Donnie just hanging out for a bit. Wanted to get out of that tiny room for a while. There's not enough room to cuss a cat in there! We keep Colby's power chair parked in the bathroom. There's room for only 1 person to sleep. Plus ALL of Colby's respiratory equipment. Good thing we all bathed today, huh? I'll let you know how it goes with making Colby portable on the vent. My guess is, Mama's got this!!
