Morning Day 2

I wish we had better news to report but Brodie is not doing as well as of now.  His blood pressure is low and is in the process of getting a blood transfusion.  His numbers are getting worse and they should be getting better at this point.  They have the oscillator that is breathing for him at high levels and his Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide levels are still not where they need to be.  They are concerned if he stays on the machine that it will harm his lungs and we certainly do not need that at this point.  Over the next couple of hours they will be trying hard to get him to levels that they are comfortable with.  If he does not respond to that then our next step is ECMO (heart/lung bypass machine).  This is what we have feared the most because this is a risky procedure but they have had success with it in the past.  Brodie's is very sick at this point and we need all the prayers we can get.  As you can see from the photo he is so cute and all we want is to bring him home with us.  There are many doctors working on him and we know we are in the best place possible for his care.  We should know some more around 2 and will try our best to keep you informed.
