Wait, Wait, Wait...

That's all we're doing lately, waiting...

As of today, we're waiting to see if Brigham responds well to the ventilator settings being turned up more. He's up to 40 breaths per minute. We're also waiting to hear the results of the echocardiogram he had done this morning.

This test gives the reading for the pulmonary hypertension. If it looks better today, the chances of surgery happening this afternoon or tomorrow are pretty high. Every day he has to stay on ECMO make his overall prognosis worse. He's two weeks old today, and on day 13 of ECMO.

Like I said, we're waiting. We'll let everyone know when we know something new.
