Still Off the Vent

As of 9:20 this morning Brandon is still off the vent and on the nasal IMV. He has had some desats but it seems like less than he did the first time he was off the vent. Plus he was having desats on the vent so maybe they will keep him on the IMV. Stu and I went to the hospital yesterday when he got off of work and Dr. Alemany came to talk to us. He said there was a 70%-80% chance that Brandon would stay off the vent this time. It will depend on how hard he is working and also on his blood gases that he gets throughout the day. It seems the majority of desats are still during his cares when he is touched more than he wants. He also has been very particular about what position he is put in. He definitely likes being on his stomach much more than any other position.
