Trache-ing Elmo
Yesterday, after I posted my blog I started exploring further the Passy Muir website and found they have a stuffed dinosaur with a Passy Muir on it. They call it Toby Tracheasaurus. We must order one. It is funny because I have been thinking about Trache-ing Hannah’s Elmo doll he is already wearing her old AFO’s she outgrew.
I talked it over with two of her nurses this morning during the change of shift. (One of a rare day and night shifts back to back). One started talking that she was concerned Elmo would start leaking stuffing while the other one who told me about a family who did that to a plastic doll and also put in a G-tube in it.
Being who I am, I have this let’s call it interesting sense of humor. I started talking about what would happen if we suctioned Elmo’s trache. I got both nurses laughing and Hannah shaking her head at me.
