Settled down
Now that the "dust" has settled, they switched
him over to a smaller ventilator. It is the same kind, just the lower
power baby version. His pupils are still equal & reactive. That is
a good sign. There are many pieces to the puzzle but at least that one
fits. They can't/won't wake him up enough to ask him if he can move his
arm ect. His lungs are majorly damaged they say and only time will tell
what he will be able to do when he gets past this. Kids are resilient,
is my hope for him. We are going to choose optimism sprinkled with
denial because the alternative is..... So anyway, little bits of info
are trickling in, they said for some reason due to sepsis or medicines,
his major blood vessels dilated all over his body which dropped his
overall fluid volume. They are leaning more towards sepsis, but he
can't get a fever since they warm & cool his blood with the machine.
So, they don't know for sure until the cultures come back in a few
days. The hard part is that every bump can be a major disaster or a
bump. You don't know until after the fact. Thank you sooo much for the
prayers, love & support.
