First time Home Since January 3

I had my breathing crisis on January 3, 2020, which led to my tracheostomy in my throat and PEG feeding tube in my stomach through my abdomen.   Karrie and our son Mark have received training in tracheostomy care and all the many pieces of equipment and supplies are being delivered Monday.  I am going home with Karrie Monday evening.

It will be an adjustment time because Karrie will be doing my trach care and all breathing treatment needed with back up from Mark and our other adult kids all supporting her.  The tube feeding, meaning nothing by mouth, will also be Karrie’s responsibility.  This is a lot. So it is a joyful time, but I know it will be hectic and Karrie asks that for a few weeks at least no visitors outside of the immediate family.  We appreciate your love and support! Dan
