I like to sleep some so that I can keep on growing.

Another day
Mason continues to do well. He continues to act strong and keep fighting through whatever comes his way. They rechecked his CRP today and it had come down some to 169 and his platelets had gone up to 80. So the antiobiotics are working towards whatever is going on...both sets of blood cultures have come back negative so far. Atleast he isn't acting sick which is a blessing. They kept his feeds the same and he continues to weigh in around 2 lbs. 7 oz. They are having trouble with his ostomy bag since he has grown so much so he might have to have a procedure done to fix it. Right now they are going to watch it and hope that it can stay like it is until he has his second "reconnective" surgery. They were able to go down to minimal pressures and rates today on his vent settings and he has handled that. They tried to do 2 different MVT today but he couldn't tolerate them. About 5 minutes in they had to discontinue because he destated so bad. Just not ready yet. Please pray that he will continue to heal and that the next time they try to extubate it will be successful! They are continuing his antiobiotics and added another diuretic to help him with his lungs. Hopefully we will get there soon!

ReplyDeleteMy gosh.. what a little sweetheart and wow, what a fighter!! I will be following your blog and following Mason's journey all the while praying for his health and for him to continue to grow and improve with each day that passes. Thinking of you and your family tonight.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through another blog. Please know that we are praying for little Mason and your entire family. Our daughter, Morgan Kate, was born at 25 weeks, weighing one pound and twelve ounces. She is now almost four years old and amazes us every single day. Praying, praying, praying!
