Welcome Helen,
I can only wish you the best. I had my treach in for about 4 days after my release. The only reason I had to keep it in at all was one doctor wouldn't agree with another. SO we had to get the equipment for treach care and actually only used it a few times. My breathing treatments(I had pneumonia) were done through my treach also. The treach will have a plug on a string in it. I pulled the plug out and inhaled directly through the treach. Takes a little getting used. But the faster you can leave plug in and breath through mouth and nose, the faster treach comes out. I cannot elaborate on feeding tube since as soon as I noticed I had one, I gave it back to the them in an abrupt way. I ended up losing 30 pounds while in hospital. Unfortunately, I have gained 32 since being out. So much for my diet.
I wish you all the best and God bless from Texas. Curtis
