Lots of changes

Today has been a busy day for Mason with a lot of changes. He is being weaned of his fentanyl (drug for pain) and is off his versed (drug for agitation). He had another cranial ultra-sound today and the neurosurgeon came in and talked with us tonight and said everything looks pretty good (as in he probably want have to have surgery unless there are some major changes). His surgeon for his tummy came in and looked and said that everything was looking good and that for feedings they need the stuff coming out of his stomach to be clear and for him to continue passing poop. Well, he has had some more poop today go into his bag (enough to where his nurse had to clean it out) and he even had more when we went up this evening. The fluid from his stomach is still more of a light greenish/yellow color but still we are making progress! His lungs do sound pretty bad and he does have pneumonia but they are continuing to treat him on the antibiotics for that.

I was trying to open up my eyes again!

Mason also came off the jet ventilator and went onto the conventional vent. His rate had been at 420 today and when we left it was at around 35. They had weaned him down to 25 but his last blood gas had shown too much CO2 (which means they were weaning him down too quickly) so they did increase it. They also gave him some blood to try to boost up his oxygen level and that also worked as well. So overall, a very busy day for little man but he keeps on trucking along. Praying for a good restful night for him and us!
