Somewhat warmer, and figured out In-Line Inhailer administration!



O, What a wonderful day.

Today It's cloudy, but actually somewhat warmer at 43 degrees ad registered on my digital Thermometer.

In my heart it's 100 degrees F today and It's sunny and very musical.

I slept well last night waking up a few times to situate my ventilator circuit because I'd wriggled into a position that made it pull on my trach, and so I had to resituate the circuit.

I have to do that just about every night.

i am so happy, and am praising the Lord.

Yesterday, I figured out how to administer my Inhailers In-Line with my ventilator's circuit with a special device that I'd received a couple of weeks ago from my DME.

This piece of equipment goes directly in line with my ventilator's circuit so that I can administer Inhailers like Albuterol and so that I can get them deeper into my lungs without using the mask, and having to cover my trach for it.

That did not seem to help.

Besides, if you've got a trach, you should not be covering it to take an inahiler anyways.

Essentially what I do is I connect this device to my ventilator circuit, attach the circuit to my trach again. administer a puff of the emdication during the ventilator's breath, and the allow about 30 seconds in between the first, second, third, and fourth, puff, and after the last puff, I keep the ventilator circuit attached for about one minuet, and then remove it so that I can remove my Inhailer device, reconnect the vent circuit, and I AM DONE!!

Yesterday. I fooled around some with the small device and when I got it figured out, I was VERY VERY happy.

I certainly Gave God the praise that he needed for that.

I have been plugging continuously so I'm suctioning a lot, but I'm trying to drink extra water to see if that helps.
Music wise, I'm still in my classical music binge learning piece after piece because It's become so much fun.

I woke up at 04:30 to get started with that early today.

I'm so thankful for another day.

We all should be, because God has given it to us.

Thank youso much, and God Bless you all!!
