Not getting enough oxygen. But the problem is in his lungs and this can only alleviate it some.

To: Fury
There's a thin line between health and illness at that age. I suspect they will have him on a respirator until they can control the infection. I wonder what state his immune system in in. For example, he could be developing a Guillian Barre Syndrome.

Prayers for the Pope from this Protestant. He's a blessed man of God.
To: Fury
If he cannot communicate, will they just let him lay there and die?
Oh, wait, wrong thread.

we usually trach folks if we anticipate more than two weeks of endotracheal intubation for ventilator support. "we" meaning "otolaryngologists"

This is something similar in what my grandmother went through before she died. She had trouble breathing. They wanted to operate on her.. She said no..

i think his breathing is compromised for some reason. why they just don't say he's going on a respirator... instead of saying he's getting a trach...baffles me.
