Trache out

I just had my trache removed. Pretty simple and it is so much better. I felt really old having that plastic thing hanging out of my neck. Reminded me of my days working at the ENT office and wondering how people handled them.

And there is a possibility I'll go home tomorrow. I'm eating (through a tube) now and that was the only major hold up. Wish me luck.

That is great news and so happy about your improvements in all ways. You are a tough little girl. Can't you just hear Grandaddy saying " that's our little Hopie".
Keep going.

Hey Sunshine,
Glad your surgery is over with and I’m sure you’re looking forward to going home. You know the best thing for you now is some Jack Johnson. The show is sold out but I have a ticket with your name on it. Please consider it as part of your healing process.
You are a trouper! Love Natalie

Amazing work! You are so strong and upbeat; it's inspiring. Such a treat to see your posts although we've thoroughly enjoyed Jake's, especially his supper-on-a-stick sentiments. Our best to you both and the boys as you finish your ride and get off this dang rollercoaster for good!
Love,
Alyson and Dave
