Good news on today's tests. They revealed nothing different than they already knew, which is that he has bad lungs from being a preemie. That, combined with the virus, has taken its toll on his lungs. That is why he is not oxygenating his blood like he should be. There are areas of over-inflation, areas of under-inflation, and areas of scarring. There is no pulmonary embolism or problems with the blood flow to the heart; they were able to rule out the "other" possible causes of Brody's problems that they were concerned about. Although that was good news, it was a tough day. His oxygen saturations continued to be too low all day. The bleak news is that they expect this to be a very long recovery with possible long-term ventilation which could turn into home nursing care. I will share more as I know more about it, but I don't want to jump too far ahead into the possibilities right now. We just really need for Brody to start oxygenating his blood in the next few days. Brody is very "stuck" right now and really needs positive progress. There are risks to leaving him on the ventilator for too long, and in about a week there will be a concern about leaving him on the vent much longer; so he really needs to get better.
