And then they tell the parent to be compassionate to the other kids who “need the PICU”. Trach and vented patients are not safe in RI. They all need to go to Boston.

BECAUSE HE NEEDS THE PICU. trach
Humans are meant to feel joy and we're meant to struggle. Joy helps us build connection, the struggle helps us deeper our wisdom. We would all be happier if we made peace with the reality that life isn't easy.
But it is a gift.
Went to the movies and my fetus was startled by a loud sudden noise in the film. Literally jumped. Like everyone shut up you’re gonna wake the baby!!! 🥹
@babbymd @RNSuperHero My adults are every 3 months (shileys and some bivonas with large cuffs); but yes my peds patients with little cuffs get trach changes every 2 weeks. And when I ask DMEs for downsizes (when I have a stock pile of original size)I will have to forgo the regular size.
