Yesterday when I got to the hospital after work Jimmy had his new trach in! It's all metal, and looks super crazy! It stays plugged so Jimmy has to breathe through his nose and mouth instead of breathing through his nose, mouth, and throat too. He says it's like breathing through a straw, but that he's starting to get used to it. He had the nurses save the old trach in a jar so I could look at it when I got there. Crazy! As I said before, when people get the metal trach put in it only stays in for about a week! So excited!
