And a wonderful mother. Pl...What a woman you are! And a wonderful mother. Please don't guilt yourself on time spent with your girls. You're doing the best you can do and that's all anyone, yourself included, can ask of you.<br /><br />I'm so glad you keep posting. I know how sleep-deprived you are, having been there and still being there myself, and I'm glad you find the time to keep your friends and family informed and keep the journal going for Natalie. One day she is going to be absolutely amazed by this blog. By all that she went through and all that you went through for her.<br /><br />I meant to write a while ago that I felt the same thing when Timmy was trached - so scared that I would see only his trach and that I would be sick to my stomach and not be able to look at him. So amazing that I barely noticed it then and hardly see it when I look at him even now. With such a sweet face above it, especially one that you've longed to see for months, you hardly even noticed it's there.<br /><br />I hope you love your ENT like we love ours. Everyone we mention his name to tells us he's the best. Such a comfort to have something so vital to our child's existence in his hands. My only advice (if I may) is to watch the nurses as much as you can when they suction and assist as much as you can during trach changes and changing the ties. That really helped cement things for me during the late night severe sleep-deprivation stage when they blazed through teaching trach care (at our request) and turned Timmy's trach care over to us. You will be a natural at it once you get the chance.<br /><br />I love the pictures of Annie in her dance-wear. We just started Trevy in ballet. Hmmm...well, at least the rest of the class can say they are better at it than someone else! =)<br /><br />Hugs, hugs, hugs and lots of prayers!<br />Wendy<br />WendyWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01721846354711303311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086766599140502629.post-80967573619663904282010-09-27T08:24:10.185-04:002010-09-27T08:24:10.185-04:00Jen- I think you are an amazing mother!

We are in a similar position and reading your stresses makes me stress too but I look forward to the day where both of our girls are comfortable on their trachs. <br /><br />Take care, we are praying for Natalie. <br />xo AmandaAmandanoreply@blogger.com
