Here is Lil Will arriving at OCH, yeah! Most of the rooms here are semi private but because of his dialysis, he was able to get a PRIVATE room! Of course, they warned us that our stay at Children's would be like a hotel and OCH was nothing like this. Correct! However, the staff is great and they are ready to make sure we are trained. We already had our first training session, gee, can we get used to the new digs before we have to learn something! Today, we learned how to bag him, YES, I said bag him, give him oxygen, and YES, we did practice on him not a dummy. We learned how to suction (already learned at CMC) but using a different suction device. Finally, we began learning the vent. By the time we leave, each of us will be able to change his trach and trach ties by ourselves! I am terrified! Can I really do this all by myself!?? I know I can but it is a bit overwhelming! I'm thinking I may need to be a nurse or respiratory therapist, I should at least get paid for doing all of this, huh! HA! HA! We will do anything we have to, so we can properly care for our lil pumpkin! Guess what, our respiratory trainer mentioned the docs told her to have us trained and outta there within 3 weeks! 3 weeks!!!!!! Of course, she said that Lil Will is the driver so we will have to do what he allows us to do. =) =) We will keep you posted!!
