Video with Johan, 4½ years

Johan has already learned how to cope with the tracheal suctioning, so it only crosses his mind the short time it takes to get it over and done with; but it still has to get to be over and done. The sound of suctioning is still a “nasty sound” and the nurse has to count to as little as possible! 
Johan is only 4½ years old, and the video was made to show that one day the child will learn to cope and voluntarily go into the consultation room. 
Tracheal suction is uncomfortable for a few seconds – but Johan no longer feels it is a violation. 
All the times Johan has protested and has been fixated has caused no damage to his mind; on the contrary he is still a strong, lovely boy ready to face the challenges of life. 
Johan tells that he tried to think of how he could do the tracheal suctioning but nothing happened - and then suddenly he could. 
Never lose heart – even though it may be difficult!
