Trach under the blanket. You can see the ties/collar in the link from post #431- look at the shadowy area on the far right.

She's had a trach and a g-tube for two years. Wonder why they keep trying to hide them??

My heart cries for this poor dead child.

I don't think they are hiding them. I think the blankets are used to help keep her warm. Sometimes you will see pics with blankets wrapped around her head, we do this in the ICU to help keep the pt warm with additional blankets over the body.

She's dead.... I don't think all the blankets in the world are going to keep her warm [emoji317]

I hate to laugh but you are right. I was just making a point from the families point of view on all the blankets previously mentioned[emoji22]

I cannot believe this nightmare continues. I wonder how the other siblings are doing with what is still going on. There isn't going to be enough money to pay for the long term psychological help they are going to need.

I was just about to post the same thing... Very sad. Her parents still believe she's alive.

How do you see the picture?

They have a rolled baby blanket under her chin to hide the trach and keep her jaw closed. It makes her look more alive I guess. That one floating around of her with the white hearts over her eyes looks creepy to me.
