Trach Surgery

Bonjour to all my adoring fans (I'm working on my French this week).

This coming Tuesday is a BIG day for me... I'm going to be having surgery to put a trach in. The doctors think it is the best option for me right now, and I have to agree. At first I was a little scared, but after hanging out with another boy in the RCNIC with a trach, I feel much better. He just seems much more comfortable than me and he doesn't have to deal with all the tape on his face. Also, I was told that when I go home I will get a night nurse for eight hours a day (so Mommy and Daddy can sleep). I guess I have to be watched all the time to make sure the trach doesn't fall off or I don't pull it out. I'm looking forward to the constant attention... talk about the royal treatment!

Well, au revoir for now. I'll be sure to send you a message and let you know how my surgery went. I'll also have Mommy and Daddy take a lot of pictures of me with the tube gone. If you thought I was hunky before, watch out!

Love Ben
