Echo Results Not Good

Today has been a relatively quiet day with not too much ups and downs.  He is back up to 90% oxygen but has been fairly stable most of the day.  Although he is not where we would like him to be at least he has not had a huge setback.  The echo results came back and his pulmonary hypertension has gotten worse.  They said that the right side of his heart has alot of pressure and the blood is not flowing to the lungs like it should.  This was a big blow to us because he seemed to be making progress on that and now to find out that we are going in the opposite direction it is scary.  They are going to start him on another medicine to try to open up the blood vessels and relieve the pressure.  He is already on a high dose of a medicine to help that but it is apparently not working like they would want.  As you can see from the pictures I posted yesterday he is swollen quite a bit and just doesn't look like himself.  We know that once he gets better that all of the swelling will go away but it is just hard to see.  Please continue to pray for Brodie and hopefully they can get this issue under control.  His lungs look good and hopefully one the pulmonary hypertension goes away he will be able to make some good progress.
