So, we are using our "bag of tricks" and
running out of tricks. We have 2 left...we are using 1 of 2 tricks now.
If this doesn't work he will go on an Ecmo machine, it is a lung
bypass machine. It is kind of like what they use for a heart, but this
one is for the lungs. Basically this machine will clear his blood &
oxygenate it too. It has a ton of risks, but we are getting to the
point that
this is it. The nurses say
there are tons of kids that are on it & do fine. There are some
that have bad side effects. This is the decision we have made, to go
ahead with this if the current treatment doesn't work. Ugh, we will just
take the odds he will come out fine. No guarantees, but it is hope. It
is going to be a long night, keep those prayers coming :)
