Sweet sweet baby

Today we kind of found out what was going on with Mason. Blood cultures came back positive for infection. They had already started him on 3 anti-biotics last night because that is what they suspected. Around 12 a.m. last night he had become very agitated and wasn't happy and basically nothing they gave him was calming him down or working. His oxygen was up to 100% and he was only breathing in at 65-70% this morning. Thankfully, things got better throughout the day I think as the anti-biotics started to work. His vitals came up, blood pressure started reading again, blood gases got better and tonight they are on 35% and he is taking in 95% for his oxygen. They are concerned about some puffiness in his belly and his bowels and are keeping an eye on that for now but he is still NPO for now until they get this infection under control. So right now the infection is in his blood and they were going to check his lungs to see if the same infection was in there as well. No matter what they find, his treatment that they already have him on, will stay the same wherever the infection shows up. We are thankful that the PICC line is in and they put in a central line last night so that way they don't have to continuously prick his heels. His urine output was great today and by tonight he was calmer (after more doses of anti-biotics). Again, thank you for your continued prayers. We greatly appreciate them. Here is a picture of me trying to calm him down. When I put my hands on his head, he reached out to grab my thumb. The nurse said it helped his stats and he did calm down. Such a sweet boy.
