Welcome to the board! It sounds like after 15 years, you will have a lot of advice for those of us with young ones. Look forward to hearing more about Josh.

Hi! Welcome to the board. Maybe you could tell us some things about Josh like how you take him around, can he walk or is he in a wheelchair, how you have maintained your sanity, etc. That is NOT a joke. Our son has been trached for 11 months and I think I'd be insane after 15 years of this business. What is your trick? Thanks for sharing. You will undoubtedly have a lot of ideas for us! Also, what kind of trach ties does Josh use? Anything clever you'd like to share? Take care, Sue

Welcome to the board. Please post often. I have one question. Does it get easier with time?
