Tracheostomy

We decided today to move forward with the tracheostomy. This will be a lot less of a risk for Ryan compared to her recent surgeries. Michelle and I have been very reluctant to go with the trach. The reason being because it will require even more from us when we get home. But ultimately it will be the best option for Ryan right now. It will provide her with the secure airway that she needs. The trach will most likely come with a vent and will require at least a week of training for Michelle and I. The vent will require alot from us, so when we do get home we will also need home nursing care so that we can work and sleep. Our home is our sanctuary and now we may be sharing it with a stranger. It's a lot for anyone to process. Please pray for us as we continue to make extremely difficult decisions for our baby girl. We are definitely scared of how much our lives will be changed when we do get home but we know that our Lord will see us through one day at a time. Jared
