I apologize for the delay, it was a busy day at the hospital so we had to wait quite a while for an update. They said today he was fighting the ventilator so they had to increase his sedation a bit so that he wouldn’t do damage to his lungs. They also had to increase the ventilator up to 90% to keep his blood gases at 91 in 92. That’s not as good as it was yesterday but they said that it is to be expected. He finished his course of steroids for 10 days using Dexamethasone. They are now going to do a 10 day course of another steroid called Solu-Medrol. He is still on the antibiotics and he is still on the Pain meds as well. There hasn’t been much of a significant change since yesterday. They are not going to try to lower the sedation until probably tomorrow.
