pics of decann
I've been playing with Photobucket and created a little slideshow of Shelby. There's six photos of her decann -- pretty much moment by moment beginning with the moment right before the trach was pulled. (Forgive the blurriness, my hand was shaking!) In the last "decann photo" she is happily chewing on that ol' trach! You'll have to suffer through just a few pics (5 I think) of Shelby first ... (sorry, couldn't help myself)

Thank you. You can't possibly know how much I needed to see that. Did she gasp and have to catch her breath, or did she just cry?
Again, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing.
