trach care and respiratory illness

[Guest guest]

Even though had a trach (and g-tube and a very rough first 3 months)

we never experienced

any respiratory diseases or infections.

I had purchased a water distiller and used that water exclusively in her

mist tent, nebulizer, and

cleaning solutions, even boiling the trach in distilled water only.

Maybe a distiller is common equipment, I don't know and don't remember, and

furthermore cannot

say there was any correlation.

But, maybe it helped-hence the post.
