Back on the Oscillator
As we’ve mentioned before, Logan seems to be out growing his ET (breathing) tube. Because of this, the doctors have been upping his vent settings to compensate… his blood gas tests have been showing higher levels of CO2.
At about 5:45am this morning, the doctors had increased Logan’s vent settings so high that they made the decision to move him back to the oscillator vent. His settings are pretty high – but nowhere close to how high they were on Sunday before they took him off the oscillator – but over the course of the day, they have been able to wean them down a bit.
The good news is that technically he made it through the weekend without a major setback (although it happened during the Sunday night shift)… we’ve noticed that his trend is to have a fit of some kind or another during the weekend. The other good thing is that this setback was nowhere near as bad as his previous ones.
