Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

They won't decannulate Grace until she can pass a sleep study with a capped trache. The trache forces her to only breathe through her mouth and nose. She has been wearing a speaking valve for months but that allows her to inhale just forces her to exhale through a different airway. So I think she has to adjust and build up a tolerance so she can be decannulated eventually.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ahahahaha - I was almost afraid to open this thread because there were so many new messages this morning, I was afraid we'd gotten into some kind of horrible Nelson Mandela flame war. But no, just a Sound of Music watch-n-snark.

Speaking of which, this made me think of us.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Hulu has the musical numbers from Sound of Music, so I'm getting to see the ones I missed. The orchestra is way too loud.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Go Gracie! I hope her stamina builds fast. She's such an amazing kid.

Went to big party at the president of the uni's house yesterday. It was pretty fun. Good meal anyway.

I'm booking work trips to NYC and Expedia keeps giving me a car rental offer. I'm going to Manhattan, Expedia. I have a MetroCard in my wallet.

My lunch was so tasty, I have to brag about it, even though it wasn't very complicated. Scrambled eggs with sliced turkey, onions, and mushrooms (and a little bacon salt), with whole-grain toast and apricot jam.
