Gerald had an electrocardiogram this morning. As the cardiologist look at the possibilities of what causing Gerald's lungs to not functioning well, he found blood clot in the vein from his lower extremities and going up to the aorta. The doctor didn't think that it might be the cause of his problem right now, but they want to deal with it before it become a major problem. He is now getting a heparin shot on his belly couple times a day. Ouch! but that will make him get better in the long run.
So far, he was doing great although he is intubated again. His heart functioned real well. As what the cardiologist told me this morning he might just have fluid built up in his lungs and he needs to drained all those fluids through urination. As they said dry lung is a good lung.
They also tried to use nitrite oxide machine to help his lungs, but it was not helping him at all. At this time he have great numbers , his stats were in the high 80's and his heart beat were in the 130's. He have 24 breaths per minute so that's good. I hope that one day when he is ready for the breathing tube to come out, he will keep in the positive healing process.
I will keep praying for his fast healing and I know all my friends and family does it to and thank you very much for your prayers.
