Josh didn't end up getting the trach this morning, as scheduled. He was doing really well, and full of strength. The Dr. took him off all pain meds to make sure that all of his efforts were able to focus on breathing. Josh did his best, but there was still too much strain. Trach plans are again in the works. Looks like this may be another blessing in disguise, but I just hope he can get the trach soon (tomorrow).
Now Josh is back on some of the pain meds, and is resting. Much of his pain comes from the discomfort of the respirator along with an oral-gastric (OG) tube going down his throat.
That's really it for now, he was very alert and responsive today. Vitals are holding strong.
