Still on the Vent....
Colin is still hooked up with the breathing tube. They completed the bronchostomy yesterday and did find a lot of mucus plugs which block the air from fully getting into his lungs, however they did also note a compression on the left lower bronchus. They were trying to get a CT scan of the area to see if it is because something is pressing on it or if it is just inflamed. If something is pressing on the area, there is a good shot they may have to go in and move whatever it is. Having said all that, his lung looks 100% better than it did yesterday morning and they continue to pull out good mucus plugs. A CT scan is scheduled for tomorrow so we will update then.

Matthew had to have a couple bronchoscopies, too. His lungs were a mess for a while... but he came out of it all with flying colors.
After his 1st OHS, they found that his "new" pulmonary artery was pressing on his airway... but chose to not go back in and move it ....
keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
I have only been back a few hours and I miss Colin and of course you guys also. I was just about to call you but read Melanie's email about the CT Scan being delayed until tomorrow and then went onto the blog. Everyone is praying for Colin and you. I miss you all and will be back next weekend.
We just had a cat scan also to check for something pressing against his bronchial tube....what 's the deal with our kiddos?? Ours is still a mystery...or at least they're waiting until his breathing is seveerly compromised before going back in. (too much scar tissue right now)
Praying that your drama will slow down and you can hold your little cutie pie without a vent!!!
Sending Prayers and Well Wishes to Colin and his Family..What a little trooper!
The angels are with you Colin!
God Bless
