Seth’s coagulation labs are not within therapeutic range yet to proceed with the CT scan. His Heparin drip will continue to be titrated up until they get his labs where they want them. His nurse thought that his right arm looked less swollen today (good).
They attempted to change Seth’s ventilator mode from pediatric to adult settings with higher flows, but he did not tolerate it. Just tells them that he’s not ready to be weaned off of ECMO yet. They’ll try again possibly tomorrow. His tidal volumes are better each day, in the low to mid 300’s.
Neuro said that when they are able to get him off of ECMO, he’ll go to a rehab for strengthening and rehabilitation.
Prayers for tonight:
-Therapeutic coagulation labs
-Stable CT results (when they are able to do it)
-Continued healing for Seth’s brain
-Peace and rest for Seth’s family
–Our nephew, Ellis… that the drs would find out what is wrong with him to know how best to treat.
-Aunt Kerry
