@sophie411, I can imagine that this is an unwanted roller coaster. It's hard to be the caregiver. You're involved and on the sidelines at the same time.
How did the trach removal go today?

@colleenyoung Well he was in the hospital for a week he just got home this past Sunday,,he had developed a massive blood clot in his lungs It has been removed and now he is on Blood Thinners...It was very scary the doctor did say that unforunatley it is something that can happen from the chemo and the pic line. We met yesterday with his ENT and Everything looks great he said that he reacted very well to the chemo and radiation now we have to get him to swallow and eat which is a whole new battle...so the plan is to get the cap for the trach and he wants to see how he tolerates it and it will be removed on May 19th if all goes well..while he was in the hospital they had changed the trach to a cuffed due to intibation so the doctor wanted to put the regular on back in first..his last weigh in was 243 now he is 215.5 which I dont think is bad,,we are plugging along just ALOT...ALOT ALOT....
