Head Cases

Catching Up

I just looked through all the writing I've been editing, and finishing, thinking of cutting and pasting something here. My last blogs here are about patients, but that's not what I've been working on. That is, however, where I want to update. My newest patient turned a year old a little over a week ago. He is quite active and is testing out his walking legs. We have no idea how long it will be before he has corrective surgery. His lungs are so much stronger, and, although he has a tracheostomy tube, he does not need oxygen, or ventilation, like Joe, or Desi. He's more like a mini Michael, who could breathe on his own, only stronger, because Michael was on a vent when he slept. So I decided that this is the one who will grow strong and kick us nurses to the proverbial curb.
