During Tristan's recent hospitalization, the trach nurse came to visit to see if we had everything we needed. We were having a very nice visit and she asks, "Does he ever pull his trach out?" He promptly put his fat little hand to his trach and ripped it from his neck! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry or just panick! I remained calm laid him back and put it back in without much discussion. She was impressed by the whole scenario, but I really would have liked to have give him a good ole down home spanking! Little monkey!

Anyway, thought I would share!

Blesssings,

Dawna
