As of 4/21/06 The latest is that the doctors removed the temporary pacemaker from Pranav. They also changed the intravenous tubes. He still has fever (100.6 as of this morning) so they are trying to isolate the source of infection. His lungs are doing much better. The ventilator is now running at a lower speed (speed is one of the settings that can be manipulated on the ventilator) and Pranav has been encouraged to try and breathe on his own. He is taking occasional gasps between the cycles of the ventilator. The air leak on his right lung is now completely sealed; his left lung is still showing some leak. That is expected to get better as the speed and pressure exerted by the ventilator is reduced and Pranav starts breathing more on his own. Pranav has been feeling a lot of discomfort lately, his is NOT on pain medications and he is also NOT on any antibiotics. They are running tests everyday to find any remnant infection that is causing fever and increase in his white cell counts. His blood pressure and heart rates are slightly elevated.
