Trach Mom's 12 Days of Christmas

My friends, @kysilka and @jterzieff, decided we should have a blog theme day, with the theme being "My Version of the 12 Days of Christmas."  On one hand, I could point out that we celebrate Yule, which falls on the 21st this year, but I figured that wouldn't be in the spirit of the game.

You can go see all the entries in the comments over on Julliet's Blog

So....without further ado, I present to you the Trach Mom's 12 Days of Christmas:


On the 12th day of Christmas my trach kid gave to me:

12 saline bullets
11 suction catheters
10 rubber gloves
9 lost trach noses
8 tanks of oxygen

7 alarms alarming
6 therapy appointments
5 pulse ox probes
4 crazy doctors
3 night time nurses
2 trach ties
and a broken suction pump (yes really, one of ours is broken again)
