little suction that
takes just a second to use, it helps clear some of it out. It is all
part of his intubation tube, it's built into it. Very tricky. He barely
notices it when they do it, but his saturations go up when they do it.
It is their version of a cough. They don't want him to cough on his own
just yet, since it is all still healing. They want to get him to a place
where he is just mellow but can wiggle a little & respond to
questions, but not absolutely still. We get to find that balance today.
They say some kids are actually up and around on these ventilators, some
even walk!! Hopefully, that is not in our treatment plan, but I
thought it was interesting. I am very happy to have new hurdles.
Progress is good. Thank you again for all of the prayers!! ♥
