I just wanted to give everyone an update on Lyon because he hasn't been well the last 2 days. Yesterday and today he had many episodes where he forgot to breathe or just stopped breathing. In response, the nurses had to "bag him" which basically means they had to hand pump air into his body to get him going, something like CPR. He did bounce back every time. The team thought this was very unusual considering he has been having great progress until
this point. After some blood tests, the doctor called me tonight with the results. It appears Lyon has a blood infection. They aren't sure where it is from or how he got it, but they will be able to narrow what type of infection it is exactly as it develops. In the meantime, they have him on antibiotics to kill the infection and hopefully soon after that they can wean him off the ventilator. At that point he can work towards breathing with only the assistance of the C-PAP machine again. This is better for his body and brain.
Let's all keep praying for a miracle for him to recover and get back on the road to recovery that he was doing so well on.
Thankful,
Ariki & Marie
