Today started out early. 3 a.m. to be exact. It was at that time that we received a phone call asking for consent for a bronc and a lavage. This is where they go in to Zach's lungs and clean them out as best they can. Fortunately Zach's ICP's (Intra-Cranial Pressures) have remained low.
At 9 a.m. we went for our visit as usual to find that the RotoProne bed that had been spinning him for days had broke but would be fixed shortly. (See picture to Left) It was good to finally see his face.
He has been put on three new antibiotics with the intention to battle his right lung consolidation (ARDS).
Highlight of the day- ICP monitor removed from Zach's head. He remains on an oscillator, an advanced respirator. CMC was the first hospital to use this machine on adults.
Mom says please continue to pray/chant as today is a crucial day.
