Today was a good day, even though Bob received a trach. Pastor Daryl from Bob's church visisted today. Bob gave him quite the show. He moved both arms and one leg. I guess Bob thought it was band practice time. :0)
Also, when I mentioned a friend's name, Steve Fischer, to Bob, his eyes opened wide.
The trach surgery went fine. The reason for doing this was to get the tube out of his throat. If it is left in too long, it is irritating to the vocal chords. Heavens to Betsy, if that happens, Bob will be on OHSU's doorstep demanding new chords! He will be weaned off of the vent tomorrow.
Please leave comments to pass on to Bob or email me at jiachini@msn.com.

Good to hear his sense of humor is intact!
