Moving Forward!
As most of you know Tyson's surgery was stopped due to a possible lung infection. The doctors took a biopsy of the lung so that it could be tested and find out what they were dealing with. During surgery they thought it was a viral infection, but need to run tests to be sure. Preliminary reports indicated indicate that he does not have a bacteria nor a viral infection. The Infectious Disease Doctor as well as his other doctors feel that it was over stimulation to the lungs. They are still waiting for final results.
Now with that being said, where does that leave us now? Well, the plan is to remove the ventilator, have him start eating again and go home for a while---that's right, I said it GO HOME! Crazy the thought of our little guy coming home, but it would be great! The Doctors want him to get bigger and healthier, then they'll plan to do the surgery in a couple of months. With the band on his Pulmonary Artery that is allowing him to breathe better and easier which is allowing us to bring him home. He will most likely come home with a feeding tube and oxygen and we'll have to learn how to administer and remove both as well as any medication they want him to take.
All of this talk about him coming home will all depend on Mr Tyson and his recovery. If he tolerates everything like he's supposed to then we'll leave and if not, then he'll stay here until they do his surgery. Either way will be fine, we just want what's best for him.
