How do you change the trach ties?
I'm just curious, I've always changed Harlie's trach ties while she's laying down. A few times lately, she wanted to sit up, so I changed them that way. Is this normal for when a child gets "older" (she's 21 months now)? I think the sitting up way is a little awkward for me now, but maybe with some practice it will get better.
How do you change them? Laying down or sitting up? Thanks! ~Christy
