February 9th, Evening

It's 6:30 p.m. and Trevin is resting soundly and comfortably. It seems Trevin has something structural in his throat or mouth that's obstructing his upper airway. He has struggled to breathe on his own since he was taken off the ventilator. The doctors, nurses and respiratory therapists spent much of the last two days trying different things to help Trev breathe better. Amazingly, Trevin began to breathe fine when they moved the bed down from 30 degrees to 10 degrees. We hope that's the magic pill and Trevin can continue to breathe on his own. It makes me wonder if the doctors will want to do a procedure to remove the obstruction. Just speculation on my part....

For now the hope is that he'll continue to breathe like he is now through the night and we'll see more improvement in his lungs on the X-ray in the morning.
