More happening
Today John had more activities happening. First thing off the respiratory therapist changed his tracheostomy to a stainless steel one and the inner cannula was shorter. This really helped John as his vent kept having high pressure alarms go off. This is very annoying and a real trial when he was trying to get to sleep at night. His vent pressures dropped back to normal levels so that was nice for him. He also had physio today as well as his first shower in over a month (they did bed baths at VGH but it's not the same thing at all). All this activity and he was certainly ready for bed tonight. We are thankful that John is at GF Strong.
