6 Weeks

Today marks the 6th week that our boy has been in a coma. The last couple of days have been difficult, but he continues to fight and push through all that comes his way. After getting some of the test results and scans back, they think they have figured out a couple things!

The CT scan looked great. PHEW. that was what we were most worried about. We didn't want there to be any problems in that little brain of his. So that was such a relief.

However, they did get back the results from the samples they took and they think that from the throwing up he has been doing, he may have aspirating, so he probably has an infection in his lungs, most likely a form of pneumonia. They also said he could have a bug/virus as well. So they are going to start him on some antibiotics, and try to control his fevers. They put him on a machine, like a ventilator, to help him breath a little bit, because his respiratory rate has been very high. He has been really weak today, hardly moving at all. They decided to change his tube feed, because his stomach wasn't absorbing the other one, causing him to be bloated and nauseous. They are still trying to figure out what is happening for sure, but they now have a much better idea. Thank goodness for great doctors and nurses!! Hopefully Britt can recover from this as quickly as possible. Thank you SO MUCH for your prayers:)
