Dr. Mac was in. The xrays look better and he sounds great; a lot less crackly. Dr. Mac was optimistic that they could try turning the ECMO support down and see how Brody's lungs do. Nurse said they would first wean the ECMO and see how he does with lower ventilator support. I don't know what that means for how much longer he might be on ECMO, but when the doctor and nurses are excited, I'm excited too.
Jen, Russ and Brody--
ReplyDeleteJust heard the scary news that Brody was sick again and had to be transferred to the cities. Tried Google to see if I'd find a "blog" or caring bridge and sure enough it popped up. Hope you guys are hanging in there and Brody keep on fighting!
