On the books


Mason's surgery is finally scheduled for Monday! We aren't sure an exact time yet but atleast we are moving closer. Mason also had a cranial ultrasound today and it showed that the left side had filled back up after the tap that was done on Monday. Josh was able to talk to Dr. Couture tonight and he said that he would like to put in a reservoir in the left side and pull the EVD out of the right side. We are pretty sure the right EVD is clogged but that side of the head seems to be good for now. So I think unless Mason becomes symptomatic then the EVD will be put in place on Monday during the re-connective surgery. They decreased Mason's nasal cannula some again and he did have more de-stating today than normal but they think he sounds pretty congested. Josh got to hold him today and once he was positioned upright he started stating 100. They left his feeds as is because he had increased ostomy output and that was the only change for today. He is going to have a contrast study tomorrow morning to make sure that his intestines, etc. are still functioning well. We are praying for good results from that as well. I guess next week will be a busy week for our sweet boy. Below you can see a good picture of Mason's EVD.
