Hi, everyone
          I just wanted to update yall. Alexander had been in the ICU durning his bday, and they had done a trach culture, as you know a trach culutre takes some days to grow bactiria or other stuff. Well alexander tested possitive for RSV. We are unable to take him outside because of this.So he is so tierd of being home. He is so used to going out. Its better safe than sorry. He is also having apneas. And the dr has no idea why he is now doing this. He had never done it before. He sats fine when ever he has an apnea his heart comes down to the low 70 But his O2 are higher than 95 So i dont know whats happeing. The dr had gone up on his pressure support to 17 he had begun with 12 then 17 and now 14 so I dont know if might be because of his pressue support not being at 12 anymore. Does anyone have any ideas of what might it be? Please let me know
