Progress

Today Mason looked so much better! He was definitely less swollen and had finally lost some weight. It has taken awhile but he is finally moving in the right direction. He was more aware and able to open his eyes better (since they weren't so swollen). They moved him to the conventional vent and weaned his nitric by 1 down to 4 and he seemed to tolerate that ok.  They are hearing bowel sounds so hopefully he will poop sometime soon so that he can begin to eat again. He is weighing in at 6 lbs. 9 oz (remember he is still really swollen and that is a lot of edema weight). We are so thankful that he is doing better. We sure do love our sweet boy and miss him so much. Wish we could all be together. We look forward to the day when we have everyone under the same roof!

I know he still looks swollen but this is so much better!
