Hello friends,I wanted to give you an update on our little tooshie monster. As most of you are aware, I came down with a cold that Hunter subsequently caught. They admitted him to Primary just to provide oxygen and supportive care while he got better, but true to form things didn't go quite as planned.
He ended up having some de-sats and they rushed him to the PICU where they tried the bi-pap but then ended up ventilating him. The theory is (because honestly they arent quite sure) that with his cleft palate and aspiration issues it was much harder for him to deal with his increased secretions that came with the cold. So they believe the collapses they see in his lungs are due to these excess secretions, aspirations and the virus. Now that he is on the vent, his lungs are looking better and he is getting all of that goop out of his lungs and seems to be improving. In my opinion, if things continue to go well they may try to extubate him this week some time.
