Still Holding Strong on the Ventialtor

Today Brodie is still holding strong on the ventilator.  They got his oxygen down to 78% and then they decided to put him on another type of conventional ventilator.  This one is just a little fancier and will assist him with each breath that he breathes so that he doesn't overwork himself.  They upped his dose of the medication for his pulmonary hypertension and will do an echo on him Monday.  This will be a huge day for Brodie.  We can't tell you how important it is that his heart and blood vessels look better on Monday.  Until then we will enjoy how great he is doing and assume that these things are being corrected.  The last two blood gases have been good and they have lowered some of the pressures on the ventilator and his oxygen saturation is at 100%.  Hope everyone is having a great weekend and again we can't thank you enough for how generous you have been.  Also, thanks for your prayers and support and please pray for great results on Monday.
