Recovery....

Recovery for Brett has been difficult.  His chest is full of mucus because of the CF and he cannot breathe on his own.  Today they switched him to a high frequency ventilator.  They keep him on a morphine drip and have him sedated because just a little bit of stimulation aggravates him greatly.

After putting him on the new ventilator, they were able to lower his oxygen output to 90% which is a step in the right direction.

His body was pretty beat up during the surgery and he is retaining a lot of fluid.  They also added a G Tube that should help with his feeding when he is ready.  

He has had a lot going on and he has required a lot of attention.  Please continue to pray for his recovery.  The doctors anticipate a full recovery from the surgery, but they said it will be a slow process.
