An Answer to his illness

No pictures just a quick update. They came in and told me today that two of the tests that they thought were negative came back positive. He has RSV and para influenza. Influenza is treatable, but para influenza is not. So, thus why he is so sick. The pneumonia is being caused by these two viruses. Though this doesn't change his treatment it just gives us an answer to what he has. They were able to keep him on the same ventilator, but he keeps fighting against it, so they had to increase his paralytic and sedative. They don't want him fighting it yet, he isn't well enough yet.
