No News Is Good News

I'm going to start trying to post less specific information on this blog, mostly so we all (myself included) don't focus too closely on the individual numbers. We've been told many, many times that we should focus on Andrew and not on test results, vent settings, or any other number/stat. So, with that in mind, here's today's quick summary.

He's still on the nitric oxide and still on the high frequency ventilator. They've been weaning his amplitude on the vent, but have had to go up a bit on his oxygen percentage....basically six of one, half dozen of the other. He's mostly resting comfortably aside from one minor freak-out (that we know about).

If everything goes well, the next couple of weeks will probably be pretty boring. He's well-sedated (a good thing) and progress will likely be slower than it has been, so they can assure his stability with a more conservative strategy.
