Stephanie, I left out the most important task! Cover the opening with a sterile cloth, then try to breathe. Of course, with the trach-tube out he will still be able to breathe because of the opening itself. The opening needs to be covered to test whether he can breathe normally! Sorry about that. Best wishes on your journey.

Your feed back is very comforting. It has been annoying to talk to his ENT of anything being of an infection, He always comes back with, but everything looks good! we are not convinced that maybe his Necrosis is trying to come back especially these past 3 days/nights! constant coughing and gurgling of his Mucus through the nights!!
