Crewe is Making Good Progress

Crewe appears to be adjusting well to his trach.  Yesterday he graduated from the ventilator and is breathing entirely on his own.  He was fitted with a trach "collar" that helps to keep the air he breathes warm and moist.

Dr. Raines visited him this morning and said that he looks great and moved up his first trach tube change from Tuesday afternoon to Monday afternoon.  If all goes as expected with the trach change, Dr. Raines will give Dr. Towbin, the interventional radiologist, the okay to begin the first round of injections as early as Wednesday.

Oh my, what an amazing thing science is, but what an emotional roller coaster! We are praying for you and Crewe and we love his name!

That is good news to all of us! I also heard from your mom that he is doing better with eating, all good things! We hope you are doing well also and are being held together with tender mercies. We love you!
