Today's New Diagnosis.... PNEUMONIA!

Quick update while we are at the hospital... We just spoke to our doctor and found out today's newest battle is pneumonia! It is also deteremined to be a severe form since they are getting blood out of the breathing tube when they suction him... they should also have the results of the culture by tomorrow to tell us what the name is of the gram-negative infection he also has.. so we are not going to be able to start feeding him again for a while... they increased his vent settings (not good) and added in even more antibiotics to treat him. His blood pressure is very high and his heart rate keeps fluctuating drastically causing the alarms to go off... The latest chest xray shows low lung volume, fluid/blood, and a large cyst on his lung.. no idea what that is all about!!! He is fighting through it but it's awful that he has yet another issue to deal with... We will post updates as soon as we get them... we are heading to the camper to try and figure out how to fix the broken hot water tank so we can start staying there again tomorrow night...
