Hey Miss Vicki,
Congratulations...yeah no more trache!!! I remember how happy we were when the doc removed Dan's. He also had pretty good tape and we bought 2x2 gauze pads to fix under the tape. It also took Dan about 3 weeks for the hole to close up and he also pushed on the hole when trying to talk. It was one of the hardest things he went thru and you have had it so much longer. I am praising God that you are finally rid of it!
God bless,
Debbie
