Default Was wondering how many adults with trach are in here

Im a 47 yr. old female and was just wondering out of the l000 members they just said are here how many are just adults with trachs or vents etc. There seem to be so many children and parents I was just curious. Just wondering how many took care of themselves, had nurses, insurance problems, different ways spouses have to live, intrusion of privacy, etc. Its hard sometimes to just hear of the families of children and we as adults have some different issures than a family with trach children. Just wondering................

There are certainly a few adults on here: Becky, Robin, Christamae and Peewee, to name but a few. There is definitely more activity on the pediatric forum though.
