I am in the back of the room while the doctors, nurses and large team work to help David. He is currently getting chest compression as they wait for the ECMO team to arrive to put him on ECMO.

David was kind of sleepy today. His day started off with an echo. He mostly slept through it until the probe was near his neck but this is always his least favorite part.

Today was a fairly uneventful day for David. He napped a lot, and then I tried to squeeze in little bits of activities during the times he was awake.

The transplant team met again this afternoon and this time had more data on David. Compared to last week's meeting where we didn't find out the decision until 3.25 hours later, this time we got the decision after a half hour. The entire team was in agreement - that David would benefit from a heart … Continue reading June 6, 2024
