Brody is getting 60% oxygen support, but his saturations are low. There were 2 periods of time, last night and this morning, when his saturations just stayed at around 75%. So, he is going on a road trip (through the tunnel) to Abbott to get some imaging done. He will get a bubble study where they put dyed bubbles down his breathing tube and watch where the air is going through his heart and lungs. They will also do a head-to-toe CT scan. Mainly they are looking for any pulmonary embolisms that might be preventing him from getting better. They are doing head-to-toe as long as they are doing a scan so they could uncover whatever is going on. This will happen at noon. It will be quite the production to bring Brody's bed, IV tree, ventilator, nitric, and of yeah, the baby! The doctor and nurse and respiratory therapist will go. It will be a parade.
