Almost 13 days

Well, today has been a rough day. Mason had some bad blood gases beginning last night and they have made some changes in the bent. They tried to do the arterial line but that was unsuccessful so he had to have an IV in his head to receive some blood through today. Overall he just seemed dehydrated so he got some fluid and blood to try to help with that and improve his blood pressure. They mentioned another procedure that would allow them to get blood and give blood (a central line) but needed to see if that dr was in the country and available. Blood gases had looked better but then he had another bad one which caused some more changes. With all the things going on today they are going to start him on some antibiotics just in case he does have an infection. Dr was in the country ( had just flown in last night) do central line is in and they will now draw blood and be able to give blood through this. They think he has an infection since there has been such drastic changes today so back on antibiotics. It has been a busy day and we pray for continued healing. It is discouraging to have days like this but we have to remember Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
