It was an exciting day for Mama too - I did my first solo trach change! It was a little more nerve wracking than having help because you were really tired and wanted your hands to be in your mouth and since I wouldn't let you do that, you decided to try and help me instead. Then when I pulled out the first tube you heard a noise outside and turned your head making it a liiiiiittle difficult to get the new on in - but we survived!
Dr. G increased your feed to 100mL per hour during the daytime - you've lost a few grams over the last couples of days from all the excitement and exercise so she just wants to make sure you're getting all the calories you need for your new level of activity.
When I left you were still snoozing from your lunch time nap - one good thing about the room is that you aren't easily distracted from sleeping as before. The last two days you didn't take a nap after all the excitement because there was still too much excitement around you and people coming to talk to you about your trip.
I won't be there tomorrow - Big Big has an orthodontist appointment and then it's Family Picnic day at the school.
