Ok we are capped!!! Holly has had it on for 2 hours with no problems. WE downsized her trach last week, but the doctor decided he wants to go down again. He wants her in a 3.o Bivona uncuffed. She is excited, I am nervous!!! Keep your fingers crossed and pray for her. We will be going for sleep study next month and hopefully the big "D" in Sept.
