Early post for those who are worried. Andrew's back on the same amplitude and oxygen that he was at yesterday...amplitude of 28 and 33% oxygen. He's been stable all day, and they aren't unhappy with his progress. They're still going to start the feeds slowly, but everything appears to be in the right place (from his chest and belly x-rays).
It's still unclear exactly what happened last night. We hope that he can stay stable enough to continue with the plan...switch to the conventional ventilator, find a long-term solution for the lung collapses, perform any remaining surgeries (stomach valve and possible lung removal), and go from there.
