Updates on Nolan

Sunday, After the Doctors’ Rounds

posted by ronan on Sunday (09/24)

It seems that the oscillator is helping ventilate Nolan, it is helping his CO2 exchange and his heart rate is maintaining stability.  These are the positive aspects of the oscillator.  The docs are concerned that they are having to maintain a very high pressure to get Nolans lungs to inflate.  This is one of the negatives.  They are trying to wean him from the pressure.  Things are evolving, unfolding and we will keep yall posted.  Keep us near to you. Thank you.

    Kara, Ronan, and Nolan, I was moved by Ronan’s request ‘keep us near.’ Throughout the day, I whispered gentle assurance, “we are all with you, and we’re staying with you.” Everyone is soooo with you, sending prayers and love the whole day through.

    To Carolyn and Lynn: I’m holding you in my heart and sending hugs. I love you both very much. Pat
