Ira goes in for his follow-up surgery tomorrow, Wednesday. The procedure will be at 10 a.m. We feel a bit more confident this time around as we know what to expect. The doc will make sure the airway recovered from the last surgery and will replace Ira’s trach with a smaller one. They will keep him overnight to see how he makes the adjustment to the new trach.

We will be praying in the Hub City as well! God Bless you all during this time!
Posted by Gram from Texas: We’ve heard that Ira’s surgery was very successful and he’s in recovery and won’t be spending the night at the hospital as previously planned. Joe will probably post as soon as they get home and get settled but just wanted anyone who is anxious to hear about today’s surgery to know that GOD IS SOOOO GOOD!!!!
Glo, Thanks for the update and great report!! Love ya!!
Can you please email me what this weaning process entails? I am curious to know… I totally did not know they downsize the trach!
Please…
I hope you guys get in and out ASAP. Good luck!
Amen Amen … Joe, Laura and Sophie your son/brother Ira is a total ROCK STAR
Thanks Glo for the update!
