Transition stage....What's next?

It's official as of today....Arianna is NOW in transition out of DDD services....She is only qualify for ALTCS...Now it's time, to find new providers..In many ways it a good thing / a not so good thing that she transitioning out of DDD. Now need to learn a whole new system/agency for her up coming new service program. Hopefully, Arianna will still have access to the same services that DDD offered. In time, we will see.

Monday, Arianna's Bronc scope surgery: I am proud of Arianna she did really well. Only shed a few tears. To many surgery's in the past that I thinks she knows the routine by now. She was very cranky coming out of surgery. Arianna didn't want anyone to touch her. By mid-morning she was doing much better. She was able to come home the same day. The doctor gave us some photos to add to her scrapbook. It is amazing what they can see through a small camera down the trachea. Arianna's current trach was to small of a sizes, so it's time to up size to a bigger trach tube to solve the problem. She is loving her new size...She now calls her trach "my best friend".
