Started oscillation ventillation. He seems to be doing okay. The
pulmanolgist said he's going to require ventilation for a long time so
he will most likely be getting a trach in the next day or so. To me that
sounds so awful and scary but the drs have all said it is more
comfortable and humane for him. He'll be more comfortable and be able to
eat sooner too. I didn't ask but I'm hoping it means sedation can be
lightened as long as his oxygen saturation stays good.
Sounds like
he is going to get a new central line too but we aren't sure where the
placement will be. Lots of things are going on and lots of things are
depedend upon others so our game plan is in flux. Please keep praying.
Today and this week are very critical and J needs all the love and
strength we can give him to get through.
