December 3- day 83

I went back to work today. I only worked until 10 am. The hospital called and the surgeon wanted to do the tracheotomy today. I had told the school that I might have to leave at a moments notice so they were ok with me leaving.

His surgery went well and the pulmonologist wants to try to get him off the ventilator tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. He will have a smaller trach inserted in two weeks. He will be able to eat and talk then. Jeff does not understand what is going on. The nurse just told me on the phone that they have lessened his sedation. Tomorrow I will try to explain why he has this.

I am going to try to work again tomorrow. It was so hard not being with him. I just want to sit and hold his hand all day.
