I don't understand...if he's being kept alive on a ventilator, won't he die if they take him home? Am I missing something?
I assume you could have a vent at home, can you not?

My FIL has a ventilator at home, that he uses when he sleeps. He has another type of oxygen tank that he uses periodically when he's awake. The one he uses when he's sleeping actually forces his lungs to function. When he uses the other tank, he has to be breathing on his own.
Well, it's only been three weeks. The article states that the family has in home health care set up, and it is certainly possible to care for someone on a ventilator at home. He would just have to come home by ambulance.
I say give the baby some time befor removing the ventilator. Imo, three weeks is too soon.
