Jamie has had a good day. His trach is now gone! He's completely breathing on his own (he has been for a while, the oxygen was just there for support). But now he can talk a little better, although his voice is still pretty raspy and it seems to take a lot of effort. This morning Dad asked him to say something and he replied "Something." Typical Jamie. He also had physical therapy today so he was tuckered out at tonite's visit.
We're not sure but think he might have a swallow study tomorrow (or the next day) to see if he can start eating. Hopefully he gets a good night sleep tonite so he's rested up for it--the swallowing isn't difficult for him, but they make him sit in a chair to do it and that's the really hard part.
We'll keep you posted! Keep on praying!
