Getting Better

Getting Better
So... our little man is on the mend, most of the meds he was on have been stopped. Everett coughed and pulled out his breathing tube 4 hrs before the docs were going to do it. Then they put a c-pap on him which is a mask held in place by a bunch of head gear and straps, he didnt like that either and pulled it off twice. So now he is just on high flow nasal canulas with 35% O2, and his stats and blood gasses are holding steady. Now we will try and slowly turn down air flow, and O2% to 21% which is what is in the normal air.

Update

So things not really going the way we want. He is going in to have another heart catheterization done Mon-Tues to help decide on a new surgical plan as he is still in congestive heart failure because he has too much blood going to his pulmanory artery and then going to his lungs, which makes him breathe too fast and work very hard to breathe off the CO2 in the extra blood flowing through his lungs. So we should have a plan Monday evening- Tuesday morning to fix some remaining issues, hopefully the last plan we'll need.

    Dear Chris and Kora,
    We are thinking of all of you. Carrie gave me an update today so I heard he will have to have surgery again. Sounds like he is a little fighter the way he pulled out his ET tube! I bet he fights his way through this next surgery too! Sending love and prayers from Jeff, Nancy, Charlotte and all of us at Falling Rock
