He is a cutie pie.

By the sounds of things, me and your little cutie are on the same ventilator and I found myself breathing in time with his vent. Made me a little lightheaded as he breathes pretty fast compared to me. Hehe.

nice boy

What a little sweetie! Bless him!

Oh! what a little cutie, he's so cute and well behaved, bless him. I hope for the best for your son and his family.

What a cutie, and so obedient. I cant imagine going through all that, and your little one seems to do it like nothing. Great idea by the way.

what a wonderful idea...

Some of the best ideas/inventions come from those "ah hah" moments. I did use it the other night and you're right it was simple. No need to reply to this but no that you and your little angel who is such a cutie are now being thought of by another. I wish you and him only happiness and hope for good health for the future.
what does the beeping mean

The beeping is just the ventilator alarm - it goes off whenever there's too much of a change in the pressure in the hosing running between it and him.

Great idea and simple as well. I am a nurse that takes care of Hospice patients in the home. It's hard to change tapes and hold the trach so it won't pop out. This method gives me both hands to use. Thanks for the tip.

You're very welcome. This is an idea that just popped into my head one day, and once I'd done it I thought, "Doh!! Why didn't I try that before??" It seemed so obvious and simple once I'd done it, and it does make tape changes far easier.

Thank you for your compliments about my son. He is an utter sweetheart, but also has a cheeky streak a mile wide! With all your patients, you just need to learn all you can, listen to them and their carers carefully, and be confident in your handling of them. However, also have the confidence to ask about how they like things done if you're not sure. They'll appreciate that. :)
