Trey is recovering nicely from his surgery but he is having some trouble with his blood gases. He has been retaining high levels of carbon dioxide so they are keeping a close eye on him. His gases have consistently improved throughout the day so hopefully he is on a good path.
Now that the surgery is behind us we hope to get a better idea of where we are headed. Just as with the decision to do the trach, Trey will let us know what has to happen next. Unfortunately, the trach doesn't change anything about how sick Trey is - all it really does for him is change the location where he receives support (which is huge because now he won't have anything on his face!)
Right now Trey is paralyzed and completely sedated, and will remain so until the trach has healed. We are looking forward to seeing what the future holds for our little guy!
