Justin and I went to the hospital and whilst J video-ed (sp?) the event, I gave Max his third bath. This time was much much more pleasant than the last. Firstly because Joydee was the nurse helping us and secondly because having done it once before I was a little more of a dab hand at it. However, when it came to washing his back the nurse assisted because, as I had said first time around, it is difficult to do alone with a trachy tube as the standard holding position would block his airway. I am sure that in time I will find my own way of holding Max so that I can bathe him alone (or Justin can) but it will have to be a “non-standard” position. So that really went quite well. Also, J and I were taught how to change the ties holding Max’s trachy tube in place. These will have to be changed nearly every day so we will have to get quite good at changing them. Of course, unlike changing a nappy, his trachy tube is vital to maintaining his airway, so just a little bit more scary.
