Day 26-Wait and See

Rafa had a stable night (thank God!) which is very good at doing. He also continues to pee like a champ to bring his fluid balance back to zero.

Thank you to all of those who answered the call yesterday! Rafa didn't end up having a chest X-ray yesterday, but the results of this morning's X-ray are being processed as we speak. I will let you know how they look as soon as I can.

VISUALIZE lung.

BELIEVE lung.

HOPE FOR lung.

Your love has kept him going thus far--if we can truly get him in the homestretch of his ECMO run and prepare him to transition to life off of the machine, his chances for making it skyrocket!

Let's help him fly...
