Thank you very much for your kind thoughts and prayers. Send your prayers to God and He will direct your energy to my cousin. God bless you all.

Make America Great Again

Update: Thanks all for the prayers. The ventilator is being used temporarily. He's going through hell right now but I think he will be okay. Much love to all. Thank you

Try to get them off the vent to a non invasive vent/cpap like machine.

Longer on a vent harder to get off.

And ECMO.

Their blood is unable to oxygenate their body right now so a vent is pointless. They need their blood oxygenated with ECMO.

ECMO is how you survive pedes.

i have been informed his condition has improved with the vent and he'll be off of it soon as his O2 levels are nearing normal. Doctors are aware of the vents drawbacks and using it sparingly.
