Day 4 at Children’s Hospital in DC

Gavin is now at Children’s Hospital in DC. He is in the PICU under critical care. He is heavily sedated to make sure that his breathing tube is still. The doctors have given him steroids to help decrease the swelling of tissue that is blocking his airway. Once the swelling has decreased, they will watch out for airway leakage which is a good sign. He is breathing on his own and with the ventilator just in case. So far he is doing well.
