Something neewwwww…
Brendan received a package in the mail today that we we have been waiting for. It contained a bunch of HME’s (Heat & Moisture Exchangers). Instead of wearing the mist mask over his trach while sprinting off of the vent and being tied to the big loud compressor, this little thing slides over his trach tube with an oxygen line attached. It just has a filter that traps the heat and moisture from his exhale. It makes him portable!!

The direct O2 line makes it so that he needs way less flow volume, so we can actually use the little tanks to carry him around. (little tank not pictured) Trevor gets stuck in baby jail while Brendan got extra attention.

Trevor says, “Brendan, Brendan, Brendan!” and bounces on his chair backwards

Brendan had roly-poly time on the floor for a while today. His incision is looking much better today, we just have to keep his fingers off of it.

He sits SO much better with the ostomy bag gone. He can’t sit unsupported yet, but his posture and effort have improved without that mess in the way

Trevor figures he can gnaw his way out

To top it all off for poor Trevor, Brendan got to play in the jungle.. and he loved it!

To help Trevor adjust with having his brother home again, he got to have a second bath in the big boy tub. He just doesn’t know how this blue star thing followed him in.

Trevor put his face in the bubbles

He knows how to turn off the starfish

Both boys got to do a little typing, but Trevor didn’t want his picture taken. I sure wish they could do the blog for me!
