A quick update...
R has made good progress over the past week. We remain optimistic about his outcome, but understand that he still has a long way to go and could, at any time, take a bad turn.
In the past week, the medicine they have been given for the pulmonary hypertension seems to be working. They have taken him off of the nitric oxide machine. His blood gases have been good over the past week and they hope to move him from the high frequency ventilator to the conventional ventilator tomorrow. Over the past week, they have been able to take off most of the fluid that had been put in a week ago this past Thursday night.
All in all, he is doing well and we are very grateful. He has a long way to go. He must get off of the ventilator, off of dialysis, off of sedation and paralytic meds and much more. Thank you for praying.
