Tuesday night

Brody took a step back while I was at dinner tonight. He started breathing real shallow and his oxygen was desaturating so they called in the doctor. They turned up the vent and put the nitric back on. They think he might not be tolerating the wean from the nitric. They drew a blood gas a few minutes ago and we are waiting for the results. Also they may do an extra chest xray but they wanted to see what the nitric did first. He is currently saturating in the mid to high 80s,. His oxygen support was back at 100% but he is now at 75% with extra breaths and pressure. He wasn't getting the volume of breaths he needs.
