It is such a relief to see the improvement Trevs lungs have made. He started on a Ventilator for 23 days, CPAP for a week, high flow nasal cannula set at 4 liters per minute. From this point he was not making any progress, they started him on Nitric Oxide, the treatment of Nitric is designed to remodel his lungs that have suffered damage due to the amount of oxygen needs Trev was set on. The Nitric is a blessing, he has went from 4 liters of oxygen per minute and a Nitric setting of 20. He is now at 1 liter per minute on a normal cannula! His Nitric setting is now at 5 as they continue to ween him off both his nitric and his oxygen needs. We are so pleased with the progress of his lungs, his lung situation has been a HUGE hurdle for him to clear, he is well on his way to being weened entirely off of oxygen.
