The doctors made the decision this morning to put Titus on the ventilator to breathe for him. He was just wearing himself out trying to breathe and he needs to rest. Beck stayed in the room while they did it and they had no issues intubating him (which is a huge answer to prayer since it's always been an issue in the past). Becky stated he's resting now.
The ventilator is hard - we aren't able to hold him and that is just killing me. Becky was able to hold him for about 10 minutes yesterday. As I mentioned last night, now that he is older and much more aware of his surroundings, I just want him to know he's safe and cared for even though it's all these new/strange hands touching him.
They are also putting in a central line this morning for his IVs. This will also help when they draw blood.
As of now, we are expecting to be there for at least another week.

Does he get to where the hearing device during all this? This is Brad Cole's sister asking.
My heart hurts and hopes with you.
