Dr. Sandoval's Take

Dr. Sandoval is covering for Dr. Dunst, Judah's pulmonologist. She says that Judah's condition is stable compared to yesterday. Overnight, they tried a different setting on his respirator but Judah did not tolerate it well enought to warrant the change. He is back to the same settings that he was at yesterday. His lung fluids appear to be as expected, and his stomach continues to bleed, although this is a side effect of the transplant that is often seen here. His fluid output remains good and his fluid retention seems to be diminishing slightly. Although we all are praying for some signs of improvement, we must also remember that signs of stablility are very good news. The doctors have warned us that Judah may suffer setbacks, but that they too can reverse on a dime. Once he is stable, the hope is that he will start to heal. Today, right now, Judah is stable. Will keep posting as news is available.
