How to Change Out the Circuit for your Home Ventilator!
#circuitchange #trach #ventilator
We have a son who is on a trach and a ventilator at night. We have to change out his circuit once every week. It's not that hard but it can be particular and you will have to know how to do this if you are a parent or caretaker for someone who uses a ventilator. This is a video that I made showing you step by step all the things that we need to do to change out this circuit. It is important to do this to keep the circuit from building up germs and other nasty things and to help keep you and or your child from getting sick. Please enjoy and don't be too critical if I missed something in the video or if you were told to do it a different way.
Jimmy was born with a RARE genetic disorder/mutation of the TRNT1 gene. It's so rare it doesn't even have a name. This genetic mutation is a metabolic mutation that can effect him in a variety of ways from what we know. Anemia, developmental delays, immunology, and cardiomyopathy are just some of the potential risks. I'm hoping to keep track of his story and hopefully creat a platform for people who MAY have a child with the same genetic disorder. I know that number is most likely small seeing how rare his disorder is but even if you'd like to stick around just to follow his story, or to feel a sense of belonging if you also have another rare genetic mutation.

    You are a great Dad. Don’t be hard on yourself. I’m a retired RN and worked for years in the NICU. Your sweet Jimmy is a sweetest and I will pray for him. The Lord put him on this earth as he is. Perfect in every way. Thank you for sharing with us so we can focus our prayers. He is beautiful. Wish I could help you out. ❤️❤️❤️. I was a Healthcare administrator and I hate our US insurance. I am a Canadian and never saw all of this hardship back in the day. I wish I could help but retired early due to Stress and burnout. Things are so tight but I will share and pray. 🥰🥰🥰 5:21

    Wow I didn’t even know about the Navigator! I have a 2yo & a 5yo. Do you happen to know the measurement for when the shade is up? I’m wondering if it is too short for her and her head will bump into it. In Florida that cover is crucial!

      I was thinking the same thing, but we did blood work and all the tests. He didn't have any sickness. So it had to be something that caused it. Plus as soon as we stopped and switched to the other feeds, all the symptoms went away.
