Tracheostomy (sometimes called trach) -is a small plastic tube which is inserted into the windpipe to form an artificial airway for people with breathing difficulties.

I remember when I was told my child will need a tracheostomy to help her breath. I was reluctant and scared. I so wanted this "normal" baby as the previous. A baby to go home with, who I will hear cry, learn to talk, eat, crawl and walk. And I did not see that happening if she was suppose to go home with that around her neck.

Nana Afia got her trach at a month old, though i didn't like the idea but it gave her life. Anytime I visit, she was lively, happy; even her skin color changed. "Breathing came easy for her", I recall.

She is now 4yrs and moving on with life. She is the strongest amongst the kids.

Tracheostomy (trach) are not as scary as they seem.

“Nana Afia is not that different after all” said by a child after playing with her at one of her birthday parties.

I am a mother of a 4-year-old child who is breathing with the help of a trach (tracheotomy) since birth. A tracheostomy is a small plastic tube which is inserted into the windpipe to form an artificial airway for people with breathing difficulties.

Nana Afia has got the privilege to enjoy four great birthdays parties. Every year was a great milestone for her. These parties were organized and paid for by family and friends. They were calming, humbling, and happy moments for my family and especially for Nana Afia, they brought smiles on her face. Also, these birthday parties were times that she got to play with kids from other homes and not just her immediate siblings. Kids like her do rarely get the chance to play with other kids because they are most of the time seem as very delicate, fragile and different. Due to these parties, a lot of these kids play with her more, not seeing her to be soo different and for us as a family, that means a lot.

Kids with trach usually spend about three to six months of their lives after birth to stabilize them, bringing them home with medical professionals is usually very challenging. After leaving the hospital with all the panics and anxieties of the unknown, I didn’t know my daughter was going to make it through life and getting to that milestone of celebrating her 1st birthday was the biggest gift of all.
