Day 12 - 8am Update

Recovery is fragile.

Last night, Rhonda noticed some signs of blood in the trach tubes and discussed it with the nurse. The initial thought was that his deeper breathing was knocking loose some evidence of wounds in the lungs (caused by the broken ribs), causing some light bleeding. The bleeding did not subsided overnight, so they did chest x-rays this morning and noted some areas of concern. To get to the bottom of it, they are going to perform another bronchoscopy. 


Phil and Rhonda could use an extra prayer this morning.
