Let the roller coaster ride begin

Jack didn't do so well through the night. He wasn't tolerating his nasal cannula, even though they turned his oxygen up. So they reintubated him and put him back on the ventilator. They're discussing giving him antibiotics, which makes it good that they kept the iv in his head, even though it's quite disturbing looking. The vein in the head is large and actually tolerates the antibiotics better than most of the other little veins, and it doesn't bother him at all, so that's a good thing. When they were putting the ventilator back in they got a bunch of crud out of his lungs, so they think perhaps that's part of his problem -- that the funk that he couldn't get out of his lungs himself was causing problems. We won't find out what the results of his blood cultures are for 24 more hours, although the routine blood work looked good, (the white blood count was normal, the red were low, but they fixed that part with the transfusion), so we're just standing by waiting now. Please keep the prayers up!!
