Home for some serious turkey tomorrow!

Jaxson has been fine. We are now thinking it was aspiration. He was wretching while getting his blood drawn Monday. And while nothing came all the way out, I could see formula in his throat. There wasn't much I could do, expecially with a needle in his arm. Just a couple hours later the fever and super fast respirations came. That would explain why it only lasted a couple of hours. Just one of the many reasons his lungs are toast.

I also talked to the trach guru. She said that kids forget really fast how to breath through their mouth and nose. So its not that he can't, its that he is being lazy. Also she is not worried about the granulation tissue. The more you mess with it the more it grows. So unless we have a hard time getting the trach to go in or we get bleeding, we just watch it. Sounds like a plan to me.

Can't wait for turkey tomorrow. And the fact that we get a four day weekend with daddy. We'll be putting up the tree the day after, our family tradition. And we're excited because this year we are doing a Disney tree. Very fitting for our family, don't ya think?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
