We did it!!

Well, we just changed out his trach! I was so scared. William held the old one in place and I had to count to 3 so he would know when to pull out the old one so I could place the new one. I just couldn't get past number 2, I was crying and kind of shaky. William finally said, "Sweetie on 3 I am taking it out!" He did and by the grace of God I was able to insert the new one without any problem. Lil Will didn't even drop his O2 sats below 95. So, from here on out, William and I will change his trach ties 2 times per day and his trach will be changed out every Thursday. Of course, we are supervised by the respiratory nurse or respiratory therapist. So, today I accomplished a major hurdle, I have been dreading the day we had to actually change out his trach. I didn't share with anyone but I was terrified and didn't know if I could do it. BUT, of course, God showed me, yet again, that I can do ALL things through Him who gives me strength. All praises to Him!
