We have been very pleased the past few days with how things are going. R continues to be very sick, however, he has had three good days with no incidents and plenty of rest. The settings on his oscillating ventilator have slowly been lowered. The surgeon is planning to do a scope on his bowel tomorrow afternoon. The scope will show what the inside of the bowel looks like as well as take a small sample to see how the tissue is doing.
The last time the scope was done (2 weeks ago), R did not react well to it. We are hoping that the results of the scope are positive and that he will tolerate it well.
The para-influenza virus in R's lungs continues to be a concern. Jen & I both feel that if he can only shake that, he would begin to make some significant process. We know that it is in God's timing...
Thank you for your prayers. We will update you after rounds and the scope tomorrow.
