Happy Mother’s Day to all!
I had a pretty amazing Mother’s Day with the family, even though we were at the hospital pretty much the whole day. The day started with Bill cooking Chicken on a Raft for breakfast. Then Trevor helped fold and put away all the laundry. He is such a good helper!

I don’t know why I am such a mean mommy, I made Trevor eat peas.

He got in a nice long nap before we left for the hospital. His Oshkosh overalls are great, but maybe a little short in the legs.

Brendan had a nice morning too! He did 6hrs on Trilogy overnight and 6hrs today too, plus his hour of trach collar.

Brendan only makes crinkle nose when he thinks something is really funny. This time, it was Trevor that made him crinkle.

Trevor loves flying to see out the window in Brendan’s room, and Daddy loves the arm workout!

Don’t mind me, just eating my puppy

I smothered both boys with kisses today!

Brendan had a few big downers today too. He unfortunately swallows a lot of secretions and occasionally throws up a big ball of slime. This time, he brought up a wad so thick that his feeding tube got caught in it. A big loop of the tube came right out his mouth, it was very sad. So the tube had to be replaced.
He was also due for a trach change and Bill was due for training. Trach changes are really fast, but pretty stressfull. Daddy did a good job and helped him calm down quickly.

On top of the tube and the trach, every Sunday they have to peel the dressing off of his PICC line and replace it. He was exhausted when we left, but he handled it all so well!

Little Brendan amazes me all the time. He has a water filled cuff on his trach that fills his airway, but he still has found a way to make little sounds right past it! It is too cute!
