December 1- day 81

I just spoke with the pulmonologist and they will be putting a tracheostomy. He feels that this is the only way to insure that something like this does not happen again. He feels that it will be short term (6 to 8 weeks). He will only be on the ventilator for a few days and then they will get him off the ventilator and he will breathe through the trach. They told me that he would be mad at me for allowing them to put the trach in but I have no choice. The doctor said that this is the only option.
