Praise the Lord!!!

Carson's carbon dioxide after his 12-hour trial of true CPAP was 58!!! That is within the acceptable range, so the doctors decided to continue with true CPAP for the rest of today. At 5 am in the morning, he will get another blood gas. If he has a good blood gas, he will stay on CPAP. 

Thank you Jesus! 

Even better, if it is good, they will consider starting to wean him to the trach collar. We are so thankful and excited. 

Be praying for his lungs to continue to heal and him to keep doing as well as he is. His chest X-ray had not changed from the last one, so still some chronic lung disease. His G-tube did not have any major leakages today, so that is wonderful. 

We will see what tomorrow holds, but so far, this has been excellent news.
