Bath Time!

We finally made the leap.  The leap from baby bath tub to big bath tub!  Why the delay?  Lydia has been a fully unsupported sitter for some time now, but it's the trach.  The trach terrifies me.  Water in the trach is a super no no since it's a pathway to her lungs.  So I'm a wee bit anxious at bath time.  Dad brings the smiles, fun and squirty bath toys.  

Alright, so no baby bath tub.  I couldn't just put her in the big tub.  We talked about using a laundry basket to keep her from moving around too much or from falling forward.  She doesn't know her limitations.  After talking to other trach moms we settled on a bath chair.  It's not fancy, but Amazon doesn't seem to know that.  

Lydia now has a diva bath chair and is having a blast!  She's kicking her feet all around in the bubbles, grabbing for her squirty toys, and reaching out to play in the water.  It's so fun!  Still a little terrifying for me when we're washing her hair, but hey, I'll deal.  Look at this kid!

I've been meaning to post Lydia's medical update since her comprehensive clinic visit on July 3, 2024.  The notes have been written ...
