Day 46 hour 6

Tony got his tracheotomy out today! They also took out his I.V.. The only thing he has left is the peg for his feeding tube. He isn't using it anymore but they have to leave it in for 2 to 3 weeks because if it's not healed enough food can leak from his stomach into the wrong place.
He should get that out next week. We can't wait to get him home. His tentative release is a week from tomorrow. I got home from the hospital about an hour ago. This is the first time I have been home before 10:00 pm since we've been back. I need to get a few things done before he gets home. I'm very excited that it will be soon!

  2. It's absolutely incredible to read this (especially in contrast to some of the earliest posts.) So happy to hear that Tony gets to go home soon and the healing process has started and is going smoothly. He's in my prayers every night! Thanks for keeping us all updated.

    Best,
    Melissa (friend from high school)

  3. This is such great news! As we have read your posts over the past weeks, we have felt your sadness, disappointment, and now sheer joy! We have continued to pray for strength and peace for your family as you have been on this journey with Jesus.
    This verse keeps coming to mind:
    For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:20 NKJV)
