Day + 18

Jeff is no better or worse than he was yesterday. The bronchoscopy that was performed yesterday (to clean out his airways and get biopsies) caused some of the infection in his lungs to spread to his bloodstream, making him more septic. This caused his blood pressure to drop a bit, so they started some new medicines and increased the oxygen on the vent.


The nurses caring for Jeff tell me that he is still strong, and is quite feisty when they are moving him around. I'm taking this as a very good sign that he still wants to fight through the hell.
