My mother in law who is a vent protocol survivor was on the mend and was killing it on the rehab front (she was up and walking around, getting dressed, the works, almost on the verge of coming home) when she managed to get sick with a stomach bug and was reinfected with aspirational pneumonia yesterday. She's been submitted to ICU with high CO2 levels. Different facility this time and the docs are doing everything to keep her off the ventilator. She's been seeing her CO2 levels drop a bit in the last few hours, but she's got a long haul again. You pedes did it the last time with the power of prayer and I'm asking for help once again.
Thanks!
Love you guys!

Lord we ask that you would heal this womans body, in particular the lungs and blood carrying oxygen to the rest of her body. Also we ask to give the medical persons wisdom and the family strength, in Jesus name.
I am not a doc or giving med advise!
So after posting 👆I was wondering what physical option was out there. My first thought was blood swap like dialysis since the kidneys do the disposing process and i ran across 👇🏼 Which mentions some new device that “scrubs” the blood. https://aabme.asme.org/posts/device-removes-co2-from-blood-to-help-people-with-copd.
She was on dialysis after the first go round. My guess is it's not out of the question. Thanks
