That stands for Trach Change Monday, which is much easier for me these days. Think I just lacked the experience and/or confidence and needed to give it a little more time. Now if I can just figure out the best/proper way to clean the trachs. It's one of those things, ask 10 people you'll probably get 10 answers on how to do it.
Colby got a hermit crab for his birthday and he absolutely loves that thing. It's actually kind of cute, painted yellow and has a Spongebob sticker on his shell. Wait a minute, how do we tell if this crab is male or female?! Should I be saying he or she? We get it out every night and let it crawl around on the couch with Colby. I went to put it up today and Colby starting crying! Guess he wasn't done playing with his little buddy. He's such a trip.
I worked at the hospital for a couple hours today. Then came home and did Colby's trach change while the nurse was here. Then met with some ladies from Hospice. Trying to see if they have any services that could help us out around here. I know they offer some cool programs like pet therapy, massage therapy, music therapy, etc. Colby would love any or all of these. Also trying to see if they can help with getting some supplies. Maybe a volunteer can come out and "play" with Colby, etc. Just exploring our options at the moment.
Colby and I are watching the Olympics, women's beach volleyball currently. Can't say Colby is too thrilled with it. If it doesn't live in a pineapple under the sea, he doesn't see the entertainment value haha. But now it's 9:00, which means IPV treatment, cough assist treatment and the rest of Colby's night routine. Bye for now.
Oh, NO! Casey and I missed women's beach volleyball? We saw some of the mens but Casey has more desire to see the women :)
ReplyDeleteGlad the trach changes are going well.
Please don't tell Casey or Colin about the hermit crab. I do NOT want one!!!
