He got an "oxy challenge" this morning, which is a test to see how well he'll respond to oxygen in his lungs. They turn up the ventilator to 100% and check the oxygen saturation in his blood....if it goes up, that means his body knows what to do with the oxygen and that he will probably respond well after coming off the ECMO. The results: his numbers went from fifty-something to over three hundred....a very positive sign.
