Ivy's trach came out on Monday, unintentionally. Melinda noticed it was at a peculiar angle while feeding her, and after looking under the dressing, found that it was completely out. After several attempts by respiratory to get the trach back in, they had to call in a doctor to dilate the hole and get it back in there. The whole experience was pretty upsetting to Ivy, and the next day she was tired. She probably doesn't really need the trach anymore and the ear, nose and throat team is looking into removing it. I think the trach's days are number. When that day comes, lets burn it an effigy!On a personal note, in keeping with Clint's proposal for "Ivy Day" I'm going completely non-meat for at least the month of October. Anyone want to join me?

I think I might starve if I went completely non-meat, but I have been eating meat one less day a week - as this is what was suggested by Ivy and Melinda for a good start =)
I am planning my next visit on Ivy's birthday, maybe that week I'll try to squeeze in one or two more days of no meat - if you can't do it for the cows, do it for Ivy!
I'll join you and I'll try for longer. I love you, Ivy! -elle
