Evening Update

As you can tell updates are starting to get a little fewer and farther between. This is definately a good thing. Updates I got from MA:

The pulmonologist said the most recent X-ray showed the lungs looking a little bit better. The vent settings are being tweaked, mostly in a good way. The pressure is down but the O2 level up. What this does mean is that it is easier to take TJ off the vent but keep the O2 up via a C-PAP or BiPAP. At any rate, TJ is mostly breathing on his own despite still being on the vent.

The doctors are also trying regulate TJ's blood gases. As my mom didn't get any details this means pretty much nothing beyond what it says, e.g., what eactly they want to regulate and why, etc.

I'll update when I know more, there may not be anything to add anytime soon.
