Judah is Struggling
Judah is having a difficult time. It started yesterday in the early evening. His nurse was washing him when he coughed up a good deal of blood into his respiration tube. Since then he has been having increased difficulty breathing. His ventilator is using a higher mix of oxygen (not a good thing) and Judah is struggling to keep his pulse ox up.
He has been collecting fluid in his abdomen and they are continuing to suction it out. His sedative has been increased by 1/3. Mom spent the night at the hospital, and this morning he is not looking well. As much as each day has greeted us so far with numbers and stats that seemed hopeful and promising, today we are met with details that are frightening and painful.
Judah's doctors have not been to see him yet, but we are putting in an early call to his pulmonologist, Dr. Dunst. Most of his other regulars are away for the weekend.
We will post more as we know more.
