Phnemonia, compromised lungs and more

Liam had a bad night last night t. Had a fever then vommitted because a nurse put his feed in gtube instead of jtube. Docs drew blood to check his immune system. Cultures from his bronch are growing something but we wont know until mon exactly what. We are starting antibiotics. His bronch also showed upper airway is floppy. Ct showed that his left lung is way under developed. His right lung is compromised by the diaphragm being so high and not allowing the lung to fully expand. Because of this secretions arent able to be moved and stuck there leaving him very subseptable to infection and phnemonia. There is phnemonia in his right lung. The cf test was also done this morning and hopefully results will be in by 2p. We are getting discharged so we might not be here to get the results. Everything that theyd do here for liam can be done at home because he has home oxygen. Kinda scared about the cultures from his airway. Pulmonary hypertension was negative thank God! Pulmonology said basically liams working off 1 lung and we just need to make him grow fast. Were also going to start short periods of time off oxygen to strengthen his lungs. They know his immune system is compromised because of all the infections but we wont know more until the lab work comes back. So now its even more important that everyone washes and sanatizes their hands before touching liam. And if you have a sore throat, cold, flu, allergies, even itchy eyes or so much as sneezes you cant be around liam. I just had a doc tell me that. Ofcourse justin, lanie and I because we live with him have to wear mask if were sick. So fair warning if you show up on my door step with any symptoms ill probably bite your head of and send you on your way. Just thought you should be warned. The doctors were very serious about this.
