We no longer fear the trach coming out at home and us having to reinsert it ourselves. Why? Because it already did! Last night Grace was watching a movie after acting like a crazy kid jumping all around and D noticed the trach was sticking out. Being that we had just changed it 2 days before in the hospital, the what to do's were fresh in our minds. We were able to get a new one in and she was incredibly calm and still. Judd cheered her on by saying, "it's ok, Gracie" while patting her forehead. When we were done putting the trach back in Judd looked at D and asked, "daddy, are you a doctor?" To which Grace replied, "nooooo" which turned on eveyone's giggle box! Our very own Saturday night live!
As for me, I am glad to have the "first trach incident" behind us. It is like getting your first door ding on your new car - it's sort of freeing when the inevitable happens!

Oh my...I have a complete visual of that!! LOL. Glad you all pulled through successfully! :).
I wish my Dr. was as cute as Darrell!
Good job being a big girl Gracie! I'm so proud of you. And Judd Aunt Sheri is so proud of you too for helping "sweet girl" get through the incident!
Bridget and D you continue to amaze me!!
Keeping you in my prayers...Sheri
Way to go team Roth! Judd, what a big little brother you are. Gracie, it looks like you are training him well. Can't wait to see you guys this week.
Wow! Another party. You are now officially a certified ROCK STAR. Radio appearences, parties all of the time and non-stop hijinx, all of the ingredients of a STAR in the making. I bet your own bed felt so good. So good that you had to jump up and down and all around just to test Mommy and Daddy's nerves and repair abilities. Good work! Hope you and your family enjoys your time together and I am so looking forward to the accomplishments in your future!
Love ya,
Suzanne
You go, Grace!! That's awesome. Dr. D and the Women (and Judd). :) Have Mommy post some more pics!!! Love you!! Amber
Great to see that you made it home Grace! What a GREAT patient and such great progress! Looking forward to continued reports as you get settled back at home. And what a great job you and your Mom are doing on the blog! Many prayers still coming your way for the entire Roth family!

I have to tell you a secret! After watching you literally climbing the wall and playing on the tumble mat in your hospital room the day you went home, I secretly bet myself that it would only be a matter of days before mommy or daddy got to put in a new trach at home all by themselves! Aren't you glad that they went to school to learn that?! I am so proud of ALL of you for doing such a good job!! Proud of you for holding still, proud of Judd for helping you, proud of daddy for putting in the new trach, and for mommy never once passing out this whole time!!!

Gracie,
I bet you are so glad to be home!!! I know Mommy, Daddy, Judd and Caroline are glad to have you there. It sounds like everyone did a great job during the live "test" at home, especially Judd. I can't wait to see you guys.

Please post more pics.
I wish I were there for all of your parties.

Hi Grace! Wow! I've missed a lot since the last time I visited your blog! I last looked at it Wednesday morning and something with the computer went all crazy when I was typing your message, so I haven't been able to get back on here. I am so excited that you are home! I know your mom and dad are, as well. I knew you'd go above and beyond what the doctors thought. Home after only a week- truly amazing!
I went to Dickinson last Thursday to help Miss Hardin's class make bread. Remember when your mom came and made it with the Critters? That was right before Caroline was born! Alyssa came along to help and we both wore our aprons that your mom embroidered for us. We were excited to get to show them off and everyone liked them!
I'm so glad you are doing so well! I'll come see you soon!
Love,
Mrs. Clark :)
I had heard that Grace was going in for surgery from my mom, but I came across her blog tonight for the first time. Yeah for the internet! I am so thankful that she is doing well and everyone is adjusting. Man, how the kids have grown up.
GO TEAM GO!!! That is awesome!
Wow... I'm speechless! (typeless ;)
Dr. D and Nurse Bridgett – Impressive!
All of you are incredible! What a team! Way to go Grace!!! You look great in your party pic! That cake looks like it was yummy!
I know you and your mom will have fun home-schooling! You can learn in your PJs! Yay!
Missing you guys,
Rachel T.
