Christmas Eve Update

Doctors performed an ultrasound on Will, and his heart and lungs looked normal.

When looking at his chest x-ray, Will's lungs were a bit bigger in size, which could possibly indicate that his tidal volume setting on his ventilator is too high. Basically, the amount of air that the vent is pushing through is too much. So, they have weaned his tidal volume from 30 to 25, and so far so good.

They have also ordered several types of tests to check for a possible infection. Although, he doesn't show any sign of infection (fever, etc.). Some of these tests will take up to 3 days to get a final result.

We're hoping that the change on his tidal volume setting is all he needs to get better. Hopefully we'll have a better idea of what's going on later this evening.
