His oxygen saturation deteriorated yesterday.<\/p>\n\n
For this reason, the doctor decided to change his tube to one with a balloon, which allows for greater lung expansion for breathing.<\/p>\n\n
A blood transfusion was given at 2 AM, which also helped to increase his saturation.<\/p>\n\n
It’s 3:49 AM, his saturation is stable around 85.<\/p>\n\n
New blood culture tests were initiated last night.<\/p>\n\n
Update at 6:33 AM:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n His saturation oscillates around 80 Update at 6:40 PM:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n We feel there’s a slight improvement. His saturation oscillates between 84 and we’ve seen it go up to 88!<\/p>\n\n However, the morning blood test results and X-ray were not better.<\/p>\n\n Perhaps an improvement in the afternoon?<\/p>\n\n The hospital is taking his case very seriously, and we feel much better supported.<\/p>\n\n His uncle surprised us by arriving at 3 AM from Sao Paulo, a support that really helps us.<\/p>\n\n The medical team is considering installing an ECMO. As this procedure is serious and not without risks, they are studying its feasibility and preparing, if necessary, if there’s no improvement.<\/p>\n\n They have added an antifungal antibiotic.<\/p>\n\n Thank you also to all those who are helping us on different fronts (energy, medicine…) We have support from all over the world (France, Australia, Brazil)<\/p>\n\n We’re crossing our fingers for our filho and praying for an improvement tomorrow! We believe in it!<\/p>\n\n
