Hi

This must be very stressful to have to worry about this happening. I must say this concerns me as I am about to have surgery on Sept 8 and the trach is the one item I am extremely nervous and leary about. Has anyone suggested any reason as to why there was so much trouble with the trach? What could have caused the trouble?

I am extremely happy to hear the situation is much better and your husband is ok. I am thinking this would be a good question for my doctor unless there is a logical answer or something to watch out for. I was under the impression that after sugery one is in ICU for a couple of days. I apologize if this is too personal but it is important to me.
