We have a plan for Brody this week!
His blood gas looked good this morning along with his Monday labs. They are going to get an x ray tomorrow of his lungs. The group of doctors meet on Wednesday and this Wednesday, they are going to decide as a group if they are going to wean the pressure support to 0 or if they will discontinue at 3. He is currently on a rate of 3. Once he is off the pressure support, it is considered C Pap but ET C Pap instead of nasal C Pap. Once they decide the route, the next step will be to wean his peep down to 3. They will lower by 1 each time there is a change. So, when we have met these goals, he will go to nasal cannual! I hope they will just say to DC (discontinue) the pressure support on Thursday and wean his peep to 4 as well so we can be off the vent by next week but I'm not sure.
I did talk to the insurance company about getting a private nurse and that is one of the only exclusions Halliburton's plan has. However, they think we will be able to get a skilled nurse for 140 visits per year. The lady is calling me back tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
The girls had a normal day today. It is suppose to rain tomorrow. That sucks because we have shots tomorrow so I hope it will hold off until the after noon.
Please keep praying for us.
