My real live superhero!
Happy Mothers Day!Ayden has shocked me yet again with his super strength!It amazes me how one little boy is stronger than almost everyone I have ever known.He and all of his trach friends from the tracheotomy.com boards have been an inspiration to me,the toughest kids I have ever known.I got my Mothers Day wish.......Ayden being able to be awake with just some hard core pain meds,I couldn't imagine not being able to look in his eyes for 10 days,His now trach-free friends Parker & Collin who had this surgery a few weeks ago prepared Ayden for this surgery.There moms posted post -op pictures of there boys & because of that I was able to show Ayden the tubes in there nose,the arm restraints,the IVs,& all the wires & I explained why he needed all that stuff too.So when the docs asked me if Ayden would freak out if he woke up,I told them how I had explained everything to him & that as long as his pain was managed I knew he could do it.Thank you Parker , Collin & Ayden for giving me my wish!..................................................Ayden had a good night his fever is holding at 100,so this is a very good sign that its probably just a post-op fever.He only had one scary episode of desatting when he was suctioned past his E-T tube, after that I had them make a sign so it wouldn't happen again!When people see Ayden they have no idea how smart he is,to them hes a baby,but now they know he can be told too cough,so they don't need to stimulate it with deep suctioning.He has had the same RT since Friday & he really likes her,so he doesn't mind when she suctions him........................................................My Mom & Aydens Grandma,Papa,Aunt TT & uncle Scott are here & have been a huge help!Ava is also here thanks to all of them......We love you all!!!!....Love,Angie

Hey Angie, only on pain meds now? Wow, that's some boy you have. I too would want to see his eyes - to have some window into how he was feeling. Our wee men look so babyish and helpless when they're sleeping, but their intelligence and age shines through their eyes and faces when they're awake.
It's hard to see them as babies again - especially when they had the babyhood that they did. I soooooo don't want to re-live any of that, and I bet you feel the same!
I hope Ayden starts to flourish how as his body heals and starts to adjust to its new breathing mechanism. Scary, but exciting. {{{Angie}}}
Love,
Kate

love barb
Hi Angie,

Happy Mother's Day, Angie! It literally brings me to tears to read that Ayden got to be awake and really with you on this day. A perfect gift from a perfect little boy! -Suzanne
