proud mummy moment

just watched Luke unpack his emergency trachy box and 'pretend' to disconnect his ventilator tubing with the disconnect wedge, and inset a catheter into his trachy.

So he doesn't know how to use a spoon, feed himself or have bowel control, but he's reaching his own special milestones. I guess his routines are so different to ther children that he was always going to set his targets to achievements
