update

the hospital firewall blocks my access to blogspot so i am trying this from my phone. this is not user friendly so it might be rough looking. brody is the same with the exception that his heart rate is down and oxygen is slightly up. we are so happy to be here at Childrens. they know exactly what to do for him. good news, the leak on his xray turned out to be an artifact so he does not have a leak. that would have gone real bad real fast. they are doing another echo to check heart function before moving on to lungs. they can send a camera down to look at the bronchial tubes and can collect samples from deep down in the lungs. they want to rule out a heart pumping problem first, though. The doctor explained the bypass technology but is fairly confident that Brody is nowhere near that point or heading there. They are testing for another virus that they haven't tested yet. There is no different treatment but if they can identify the cause they will better know what we are dealing with.
