Re: prayers needed for one of my youth students
Dush, my mom was on a ventilator for two days due to a post surgical acute respiratory distress syndrome because of an infection that reached the lungs, and I can imagine how scary that sounds but a ventilators a very powerful and amazing invention, it allows the lungs to recover, while the body fights the pneumonia/infection. With new state of the art ventilators, with PEEP control, there is nothing better the body can ask for in such a state, so hopefully your student should make a full recovery if its pneamonia. How long has he been on the ventilator? Did they make any attempts to ween him off yet?
