  • I can't help but wonder if his life would have been prolonged if the trach wasn't taken out. Did they take it out too soon?

  • @becausethenight1 Not exactly. Everything pointed to Tommy being ready, however, he got bronchopneumonia a few days later and the trach was put back in. Trach or no trach, he would have died. Thanks for the concern. I know with every fiber of my being that everything was done right for my son.

  • how is tommy doing after the trach was taken out ?

  • Tommy had many other issues besides the trach including lung damage and congenital heart defects. Sadly, Tommy passed away unexpectedly on August 20, 2008, just 9 days after his decannulation.
