Today, doctors at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta removed the trach they inserted on December 7th to help Toomey breathe easier.
Toomey's family says it will take a couple of days for the hole in his neck to close up. His voice will be a little weak until that happens. But they are thankful the trach is now gone.
