I've cleaned and bandaged enough bloodied-up knees to start my own neighborhood triage unit. When Brigham had a tracheostomy, I could suction all of the goobers out of his lungs. And I could change out the trach tube. I'm not talking about the inner cannula, although I did that, too. I'm talking about pulling the whole thing out of his neck and putting a new one in the hole. I'm not going to lie--it was freaky--and kind of gross, but I could do it. So why is it, then, that I can't watch Olivia wiggling her loose tooth without feeling like my legs are turning to jello?
I couldn't even watch her wiggle it while I was taking this picture. I closed my eyes. What has happened to me? Perhaps, after all these years, my brothers' squeamishness is rubbing off on me.

Teeth freak me out! I make Bryan deal with all mouth related issues.
Hilarious Sally! Brace yourself--19 teeth to go! Maybe you should go back to school to become a dental assistant!
