ecmo

isaac's lungs are failing. his oxygen saturations were in the 70s. his gas exchange (from oxygen to carbon dioxide) was getting poorer and poorer. so they put him on an ecmo, a device that oxygenates his blood and does the gas exchange in his blood for him. this will hopefully give isaac's lungs a chance to heal. and to eventually resume operation.

i'm not sure what else to say at this point except i'm doing everything in my power to give strength to that little boy. if you are reading this, maybe you will do the same.

thank you.
