I sense a pattern...good day, bad day, good day, bad day...So, yesterday Jack was off of his vent five and a half hours. They wanted him to be off all day. To be honest, from the beginning, mom and I thought the 12 hour wean was a bit much. So, we weren't surprised when he had to be put back on. This morning they took him off the vent for another day wean. Well, he lasted about 20 minutes. His blood oxygen dipped to a dangerous 72. They put him back on the vent quickly to get his blood oxygen back up. We waited. And we waited. Finally after what seemed an hour, it went back up...but they did a chest x-ray to see why he couldn't be off of the vent today. It seems there might be some fluid or congestion in his lung. They gave him a water pill in hopes to get any extra water out of system. There is a chance that he is over-hydrated. So, we wait. He is resting...
More soon.
