Ella came through today’s surgical procedure to remove the “stent” from her airway with flying colors.
Mum was prepared for every contingency and did a great job at every turn. In fact, Lisa’s attention to detail was so keen that she quickly realized the doctor’s had mistakenly replaced Ella’s 36mm trach tube with an over-sized one that was 44mm in length.
Cool and calm under serious pressure, Mum, prevented further injury to Ella’s airway by replacing the over-sized trach with a 36mm trach tube which she had in her emergency medical kit.
Shortly thereafter, Ella’s doctor admitted their mistake and praised all aspects of Lisa’s actions.
Well done Mum. Way to Fly the Mission!
