Chance struggled yesterday and throughout the evening. At one point he was awake for more than an hour and fought us. He kept mouthing, "Stop!" His struggles continued all night. The doctors restarted support meds for breathing and cardiac function.
Between struggles for oxygen and comfort, Chance became nauseous and lost the contents of his feeding tube. Unfortunately his sedation had worn offand he was wide awake. He continued to look at Jeff and me for comfort; shedding tears the entire time.
Chance cannot sustain without the breathing machine at this moment. His brain is triggering too many shallow breaths. He continues with profuse amounts of fluid on his body. At this point, it may be a few days before the tube can be weened. I am supposed to report to work on Tuesday. #Pray for God's guidance. It's extremely complicated and some choices are not as easy to decide.
