Mason all tucked in with Mommy.
Mason had an uneventful day pretty much. He continues to tolerate his feeds so they increased it to .9 mL per hour which comes out to almost 22 cc per day. I think my mom calculated that to be around 4 teaspoons a day just to give you an idea of how much that is. His blood gas this morning was good so they weaned him a little bit on his ventilator. I got to hold him again and he did get a little "hot and bothered" about it afterwards. Apparently he got pretty warm while I was holding him and then he got upset once he got back in his bed. They just gave him some medicine to calm him down. He also got his weekly cranial ultrasound and they will go over the results of that tomorrow. Off his hydrocortisone so they are watching his blood pressure pretty closely to make sure that it won't drop. I have had several people ask me how much he weighs and as of today he is 1 lb. 15 oz. He just needs to continue having good days, continue to grow, and have all of his body heal.
If you look on the left, this is a picture that Corbin painted at VBS. When they asked him about it he said, "Mason". So he either made it as a gift for Mason or he drew it to look like Mason. Either way, I am proud of him for being a good big brother. He is definitely feeling a shift within the past couple of weeks and has become a lot more insecure. He had a hard time going to bed tonight and kept calling for Mommy and when I went up there would ask about Daddy. Thank you for your continued prayers through all of this.
