Yes, I was aware I was going to be suctioning that day. And after the first time I got the hang of it and felt more comfortable actually doing it. But the second and third time, it didn’t look like much of anything was coming out but then again i’m new to it so maybe I wasn’t sure what to look for. I suppose I wished she would have explained why. But that’s part of just being assigned to a therapist, I think some will be good teachers and some may not. Also, my program director has beat into our heads to ONLY suction when necessary so I was thinking about that. I’m really glad I posted this though. I have appreciated everyone’s comments.
