Out of PICU

Jaxsons dinasour from his buddy Phoenix. Thanks Phenny man.

Oh its been a long day.

Jaxsons funky long trach.

Jax continues to amaze me everyday. We moved out of PICU last night. Thanks goodness, since our nurses were ignoring us anyway. I sat there for two hours and the nurse didn't even walk by. I was wondering why I'm paying for a PICU bed. He doesn't need to be suctioned all that much for a new trach, and I can already tell he will sleep better at night. The only thing is I still can't decide if I want him in my room when we get home. Last night I heard every little peep he made (trachs are noisy) so I was up all night wondering if he was crying or just breathing in his sleep. I'll have to learn his noises. I don't want to still be up all night listening for him. We'll see how the next couple of nights go. He also is adjusting really well to having the trach. He doesn't even care its there. He does get mad if we suction, so I try not to go to deep, because if I piss him off it just makes more secretions. He does really well at coughing them up himself too.

The doctor wants to speed up his trach teaching. He wants him out of the hospital because everyone there is catching H1N1. But they won't budge, so we'll still be here till Friday, unless the doctors go to war with each other. We'll see.

I'm trying to catch up on everyones blogs, but haven't had much time to leave comments. I promise I haven't forgot about you all.
