Thank you all for your support and prayers for Andrew. I feel so lucky to be a part of such a caring community. You guys are wonderful!
They have finally been able to lower the peep (pressure the machine provides to his lungs) on his ventilator. They lowered it to 7 yesterday and his stats looked good all night.
My DH just called from the hospital and said they have lowered the peep again to 6 but he is beginning to drop his stats again. I am praying his stats don't get too low again, and they don't have to go back up on the machine. I just want him off this awful machine. I just want to be able to hold him again.
I am so thankful to all of you that have sent possitive thoughts and prayers his way. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
I will try to update again when I can. Thank you!!
