sunday....

Goodmorning, we are hoping to get Lane off the vent today. Just a few minutes ago when Lane was throughing a fit I actually heard the tiniest little squeak. There is hope for us hearing him cry! He is adjusting well to the trach and vent. The nurse told me today that she will let me hold him even though I'm really not suppose to!!! I'm really excited. I have only held him twice in one week. Prayers are working and although I was very much against a trach...Lane is feeling so much better. Thank the good Lord for the hand he has had on my precious little boy. Thank you all for your prayers.

  1. Hi Danielle,

    We met in the NICU. My son Jeremiah also has SB. I've been reading your blog every once in a while to see how Lane is doing, and I am sad to hear that the stridor didn't get better. I will be praying for your family as you adjust to the trach and going back to school.

    We will be at Riley on Tuesday for clinic. Please let me know if you are still there and need anything. I'd be happy to bring you something- even if it is just a cup of good coffee!

    Your family is in our prayers!

    Sincerely,

  4. Dear Danielle,
    Someone that met you at Riley sent your blog to me and I have read most of it. I just wanted to say hello. Our third child, Toby, has Spina Bifida (he's now 3 1/2) - a trach, g-tube, and a ventilator. We went through a very similar situation as you when Toby was a baby - lots of time in the hospital, then the decision to do the trach. He had stridor, vocal cord paralysis, aspiration, etc...Toby's come a long way and your little one will too. We also have 16 hours a day of nursing care in our home. Please feel free to e-mail me anytime if you have questions, I understand because I've been there. Here is Toby's caringbridge:

    You can do it! Hang in there - prayers coming your way.
    Sincerely,
