Brody is doing okay on ECMO. His labs and vitals are excellent and they were able to wean the nitric down to almost nothing. He should be completely off that today. He has had two nose bleeds which are horrible but common. They are waiting for that to settle down a bit and then Dr. Mac is going to bronch him again. He said Brody is way more stable on the ECMO so he can really go in and wash his lungs out. The X-ray looks the same as yesterday. He has two areas of collapsed lung. There are six lobes and two are collasped. They told us to think about the fact that he has compromised lungs to begin with, then he gets pneumonia and maybe a virus. Now he has two areas collapse, taking a third of his functioning lung capacity. In my words, not the doctor, this pretty much leaves up up the creek without a paddle.
