Home again

Well, our hospital stay took a little longer than expected, but in the end it has all worked out okay. The decannulation (tube removal) went well and Alastair's trache hole has closed. We think. There's still a bit of gunk and it's a greenish, yellowish colour, but we are informed this is normal. Tomorrow a community nurse will visit to check up on his scars and wounds and give us any advice for maintaining them hygienically, etc.

Here was Alastair up and about and munching on a biscuit before he was decannulated.
