Our final appointment today was with Dr. DaSilva, an ENT with OSU Werner Medical Center. This was an awesome appointment! After examining Jacob, he told us that he looked great! Teeth and gums are awesome, which shows excellent oral hygiene at home.
He set our Trach change for every 90 days, which due to conflicting reports, was information we greatly needed. Additionally, to address Jacob becoming sick after the change, he suggested deflating the cuff two or three times to perform suction to remove buildup secretions that may be lying on top of the cuff. Looking very much forward to giving this a shot, once it’s time for another change. Dr. DaSilva will see us again in one year.
