Jaden got a cabbage patch kid for Christmas, so we decided to use one of his old trachs and give "Ronald Clinton one too". Â*He has had so much fun suctioning him and putting saline in the trach. Â*He does everything so precisley, it's hillarious.

Patricia has an American Girl Bitty Baby who was trached right along with her. She has been through every office visit and surgery since. It is great for them to have a doll like them! (you can see Missy in the picture with Tricia). At one time she even had a full "trach kit" made up for her....but now she just goes along.
Godspeed

great idea! I hope you don't mind, I am a big copy cat. Jack got a cabbage patch kid for Christmas and after reading your post, I gave him a trach too. Jack is kind of weary, though.. he just keeps starting at him. WHat a great idea!
Love the picture!
