I am sorry for not posting in a while. As some of you know Tim got his Trach and PEG tube in July. Came home from the hospital Oct. 2nd. He had done pretty good using the vent part time. He can still eat and talk, but it is getting harder. In January I had to put him back in, his Trach malfunctioned and had to be replaced. Last Wednesday it did the same thing, so I put him back in the hospital again. It was a blessing, I guess. His bladder is not functioning on its own anymore, he now has a permanent cath. He has the MRSA infection around his PEG tube. He had a high level of Carbondioxied in his blood. He came home on Saturday. I had a talk with the Doc last week. When Tim can't eat or talk anymore, he wants to let go. As hard for me as it will be, I will support him. I have been spending alot of time helping care for and be with him. When I am at home, I have to catch up my household and I stay tired alot so I sleep when I can.
