ECMO Wean Attempt

Lincoln responded well to the changes the doctors made yesterday. They were able to wean him every hour from 8am until 3 pm, when he hit a plateau. He was still doing well, but his stats had begun to drift down, so the docs decided to just hold steady through the night. By morning, Linc had brought his numbers back up. His morning x ray looked great. He even has breath sounds on the right side too now. So the plan for today is to continue the wean as long as Lincoln can tolerate it. Undersandably, he has been pretty sleepy yesterday and today, but that is a-okay. He is doing a great job!
