Today Aydan had to have his ECMO machine changed because the oxygenator started to fail! I presume that's because of all the crystals that he keeps growing!
The ward had to be closed down again while they changed the machine over so I didn't get to see what happened, but I was told that he was off the machine for around 3 minutes and his O2 sats dropped to 20% :0( just goes to show that Aydan's lungs are now very poorly!!
We have been told that because the machine is all brand new and clean, his body will start fighting it again, and it will set his recovery back by quite a few days.
