Not much new to report today. Andrew had a pretty good day, in that each blood gas seemed to be better than the last. This evening has produced a couple of less-good results, but they haven't had to go back up on the ventilator settings.
The plan is to take him to Radiology tomorrow in the late morning or early afternoon. He'll get a CT scan that covers from his neck to his groin, so they'll focus on the possible abscess but also get a look at his belly and (hopefully) his constricted bronchus. If one of the interventional radiologists is available, he may be able to perform any necessary procedures while still in the scanner; for instance, he could drain an abscess.
The range of possible findings is wide, so we won't know much more until it's over; last time, we didn't get the results for two days, so it might be a while.
