Doing good
He's doing good. The rounds with the mob of
doctors was pretty uneventful. Hopefully, we are sliding into a
comfortable routine. The doctor said today, they would every so often
do a little test on his lungs. They do this to check on his lungs to see
if they are any more compliant. To do this test, they manually use a
special bag that looks like a teal colored balloon(kind of) it hooks up
to his intubation tube. Then, they
squeeze the bag & manually breathe for him. They go by feel to see
if the lungs are more "stretchy" and watch the numbers as they do it to
see if he tolerates it. When his lungs are "stretchy" enough &
compliant they may switch him to a regular ventilator again, but on rest
settings. They didn't say what time they would do it, just sometime
today. Prayers please so the bag breathing test goes well & for a
quiet day ♥ Thank you!
