We need your prayers

I don't know how to write this post or what to say or how to say it so here it goes. Mason is very sick. Everything in his body has shut down to try to fight this infection. The antibiotics he was on are super strong but he still got this infection. They have added another antibiotic as well as medicine if this meningitis were to have come from a fungus. They are suspecting bacterial meningitis based on his lab numbers.

Right now he is fighting for his life. They are trying to get him through this but said it will be very difficult. It is so hard to think that he has made it through so much for it to end now. But God still has a plan. We may not know it or understand it right now but I am still trying to give Him thanks through everything even though it is really hard right now.

Mason's blood pressure was really low so they had to start him on blood pressure medicine. His body right now is in septic shock and all of his fluid has pulled out of his blood and is in his tissue so he is really swollen. His heart rate is very high. They are going to give him more blood, platelets, albumin, and hydrocortisone to try to help him. Right now his urine output has decreased because his body is in shock but they don't want to give him lasix. The problem is if he holds on to his urine too and with all of this extra fluid his kidneys might shut down and he isn't a candidate for dialysis.

This is all very hard news to hear and for us to comprehend. We love Mason very much and I pray that he will survive and overcome all of this. I pray that he will be our miracle baby and amaze the doctors. Please join us in praying for our baby. We need many many prayers now.
