my husband had a mandibulectomy last Wed. Day two was really rough. He was moved from ICU late last night and today was much better. We were told today that he will have to go home with his trach. They tried to take the cuff out and it didn't go well. Any advice on home care of the trach. I'm a little bit intimidated being responsible for it.
