No Trach Now!!!!!!

Brayden accidentally pulled his trach out on Saturday Morning. We couldn't get another one put back in. He wasn't having any trouble breathing so we took him to Gordon Hospital. By the time we got signed in and put in a room the hole in his throat where his trach was completely closed shut. By the time the doctor came in the room there was no putting the trach back in. He would have to have surgery to get it back in. They didn't want to deal with him there so he was transported to Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite by ambulance. Brayden was breathing fine all on his own. The doctors checked him out and said everything looked ok and sent us home. We were totally shocked. We thought surely we would be staying overnight for them to observe him there. Brayden has been breathing fine all on his own with no TRACH!!!!Everyone please pray that Brayden continues to do well without the trach!!!! We are so happy that it is finally gone and hope it stays that way!!!!
