My son got a trach today at 3:00pm. He will be getting medicine to keep him paralyzed for 2 weeks and morphine-saying they don't want him moving until the trach heals. If anyone can tell me what to expect or what its like when they drink milk from a bottle or if they can make any baby noises (like babbling)

Hi Brittany Hartman, Matt has had his trach since the 7th of September and doing so great now! We FINALLY have a day to go home, December 6th- in 12 days!!!! After 236 days that would be within 3 different hospitals. My Question is for a mom with a baby on trach collar with just the oxygen mist, I was told we'd get a monitor to go home.... So do those monitors "BEEP" at night if the baby moves or.... Can my husband and I sleep at night and would we wake up if our baby wakes up and needs diaper changed or wants to eat? Because we cannot hear him when he cries due to the trach. So-since your son has been home, are you able to sleep at night and get up ???? Or will I have to stay up 24 hours to watch him-even while he is sleeping??? i just want to know what it is like as far as- can i leave him for like a minute to go to the restroom or is that forbidden for his health???? I dont know how this will be...... Like-the nurses at the NICU always arent near him BUT he is on many monitors..... and sometimes I walk in there and it looks like he's been crying for such a long time BUT they dont know because he doesnt desaturate anymore....
