Brody is being placed on ECMO, the lung bypass machine. It is the best option to let his lungs heal. His oxygen saturations were hanging in the mid 80s with 100% oxygen support. They can't give more than 100% oxygen, so there is really nothing more they can do besides ECMO. The alternative would be to keep him on the ventilator and cause more damage to his lungs. He is being prepped for surgery now and we are just staying by his side on the darkest day of our lives.
