Mom and Dad these tests wear me out!
Today Mason had another breathing test with the correct equipment and passed with a 69% which was a more accurate reading than the test given yesterday. But...they don't have the appropriate equipment available to give him. They are wanting to put him on a SIPAP which also has rates on it and during the test he did have periods of apnea still so they would prefer to put him on this rather than the regular CPAP. The only problem is they only have 4 of them and they are all being used. So they are going to try to get another one for him tomorrow. So hopefully that will all work out. As for everything else he seems to be doing well. They have gone down on pressures and rates on his current vent and blood gases continue to remain good. They have weaned his fentanyl down to 1 and plan to get rid of it tomorrow and they also reduced his hydrocortisone as well. They are discussing feedings but the surgeon that did his surgery wasn't there this weekend so they are going to wait on discussing that until tomorrow. My mom went to rounds and the NP said that Mason was doing great and was her "rockstar". He keeps on surprising everyone and we know it is due to God's healing hand and your prayers. We are blessed to be the parents of our two boys! Speaking of...
Corbin enjoys coming to visit Mason so that he can play with the "choo choo" trains and the roof top playground.
Here is a picture of him being silly before bedtime. He loves to wear hats sometimes! We sure love both of our boys and are thankful that God has entrusted them to us.
