Difficult to say as removal of tracheostomy depends on many factors including the reason it was put in. Since you have muscular dystrophy, your physician may need a pft to assess the power of your muscles of breathing. Apart from that pulse oximetry/abg might be required while you breathe on room air.

consult your pulmonologist
