Week 17 – Day 3

It has been an emotional night, so there will not be much in the post today. Brendan seesawed back the other direction pretty hard and tonight he was minutes away from being intubated again. They managed to gain control and get him stabilized by switching him to an EzPap versus the regular nasal cannula.
I have to wait for the team tomorrow to decide the plan of action, but the attending physician tonight wants a bronchoscopy and suspects tracheomalacia.

I can’t even keep up with the drug changes, starts and stops. I am home for now, but will be back to the hospital at 6:00am to get an idea of the latest plan. In the meantime, he has a nurse sitting in his room with him full time and he is being kept heavily sedated.

Here is the new breathing aparatus

We put Gramma on a plane today to send her home, although we know it broke her heart to have to leave. There are some really cute pictures we took today, but I will have to post them later this weekend. Time to sleep now and hope that tomorrow brings us some answers.

    Today, especially, my thoughts and prayers are with you and with Brendan.
    🙂 I think your “Camel” needs a back brace, before the next straw is loaded on.
    Love,
    Dad
