Jeff and I headed back to see Miles tonight, and we were told that he was really struggling to breathe. Even though he is on the CPAP, they are having to up the amount of Oxygen as well as pressure that he is on. The doc has decided to go ahead and intubate Miles and give him some medicine which will help his immature lungs. I know that this is what is best for Miles, but it is still hard signing the consents and knowing what he will go through. Please keep us in your prayers. The doc is hoping that Miles will be able to rest while on the vent, seeing as he won't be having to focus on breathing. She is hoping that he might be able to be backed down off of the vent tomorrow at some point, but obviously this will be decided after looking at Miles' labs, breathing patterns, xrays, etc.
Thanks again for all of your prayers!
