Not much to report. Toby has been having good nights and days. It is amazing to me how the weather affects how thick his secretions are, and how often we have to suction out his trach. This cold weather and snow can go away very soon! :)
Happy Belated Easter. We had a wonderuful weekend with our family, but it was very cold - snow on Easter Sunday! Crazy! We actually took him to church on Sunday, and it wasn't too bad with all of his equipment; we made it on time too! :) He still is struggling with a cold, a lot of secretions, so please pray that he will get over this soon. I know some of it has to be due to the weather. I will try to post photos of Toby in his Easter outfit soon.
April 10th:
We ended up making a quick trip to see the surgeon again today about Toby's g-tube site. It's still looking red, inflammed, and has scar tissue building up around it. The nurse burned some of the excess skin with silver nitrate, and gave us a prescription for the same to help this problem. The doctor was pleased, though, saying it looked better than a week ago, so I was happy about that. He seems to be doing great. We interviewed another night nurse tonight for at least one night if not 2 nights, and we really liked her. Toby started sucking on his fists today! :) It was very cute; try to catch it on camera soon.
