Jadon’s vital signs are almost on target, however, he continues to have breathing issues. His lung capacity is diminished due to an enlarged liver and spleen crowding his lungs. The surgeons continue to monitor this situation but due to his fragile, weak condition nothing is planned at this time. As a result, he is breathing with the aid of a BiPAP (bi-level positive airway pressure) Ventilator. The CPAP mask covers his nose and mouth and provides pressurized air. He needs periodic suction in the trachea to remove fluid that collects in the back of his throat and restricts his airway. As of this morning, he has fluid on both lungs that will be discussed by the doctors during their regular rounds.
