bronchotron

The bronchotron appears to be creating success in Gaby's lungs. Her chest xray shows clearing. Her volumes are in the 50s and they can hear breath sounds with a stethoscope that they haven't been able to hear in weeks.

The plan is to continue the bronchotron today and get the right lung clear. Left lung is completely clear today. Tomorrow they are going to push her. Beginning weaning the ECMO flow and see how her body responds. The better she does, the more they will wean. Tomorrow is the day she needs to show that she can do it on her own without her ECMO circuit. We believe this is her best window of opportunity to come off and we are excited.

"God, please" continues to be our prayer.
