Logan has had a great couple of days. The nitric oxide was weaned down this morning. His ventilator was switched from pressure support to volume support. This basically means he needs less assistance to breathe and is taking breaths on his own. He has turned the corner!
To be honest, I don't know what the next step will be! I know he has a little more to go when it comes to weaning on the vent. I am assuming that the goal for the weekend will be to get him in the best shape possible for his tracheostomy. We do not have date/time scheduled as it is all dependent on Logan. His ENT doctor will be here next week.
So tonight I pray for continued improvement for Logan. He still remains on the ventilator and will remain until his trach is placed and then will have a ventilator attached to the trach until he is ready to be weaned off of that. Having the surgery will have its risks as any surgery would. If possible, it would have been more ideal to have him a little stronger and healthier beforehand. That being said, he is making amazing progress and we are going to continue to work with cards we are dealt!
