First off, thank you to everyone who has lifted David up in prayer and love.
Here’s what we know at the moment. David will be on ECMO for at least 48 hours. This is giving his heart and lungs a rest and allowing the machine to support him. It was helpful that his chest was not closed up so that he could be hooked up to ECMO fairly quickly. We hope this break allows his heart and lungs time to rest and heal.
The team of doctors, nurses, and surgeons do not know what caused him to crash. The investigation is starting. They may never know, but everything is going to be examined.
We are also not sure of how his other organs faired during this time. He was receiving heart compressions for quite a bit of time (or so it felt) before he was hooked up to ECMO. David will be reattached to the EEG machine to monitor his brain for seizure activity again. They will also do an ultrasound (actually, that has already been done) to check his head as well. They are pulling lots of labs to check his other organs. He is still peeing very well, so we’re hopeful he can get rid of some of the fluid his body has retained. He had actually lost a lot before this incident.
Adam and I did get to see David after his room was cleaned up. He looks good. I pray this rest is what his body needs and that after this period of rest, David’s body will tolerate the weaning of its support. David has some of the best doctors and nurses watching over him, and we’re so grateful for all of the support they gave him today. Here’s hoping tomorrow is a nice, boring day, full of rest for David.
Precious David and family are in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs
