I can't go into detail right now, but I did want to provide a quick update. Eric was admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) on Thursday night/Friday morning due to difficulty breathing. On Friday morning he was taken to the OR to be intubated with a breathing tube. They have discovered that he is suffering from a massive fungal infection that has caused pneumomediastinum and tracheitis. As of now (Tuesday at 9pm) he remains intubated and sedated. I hope to be able to post a more positive update soon.
