Wow rene, that's the first time I've seen a video of a decann! Tommy did great
 I know he cried a little, but he did great and was just so cool once the trach came out, just carried on as normal - what an amazing little guy Julie xxxx

He wasn't crying because of the decan, he was crying because the ENT resident put on gloves and he was wearing a labcoat. Tommy was afraid he'd get poked again. Plus, we got to hear him cry, so it was okay.

I loved how Tommy kept checking his neck knowing something was different. I liked the doctor's explanation too.
