So far no surgery is scheduled. The dr. that initially operated on Mason had her baby today and the dr. that is scheduled to take her place is out until tomorrow. Neuro came this morning and pulled 20 ml off of Mason's head on the left side. Josh talked with Dr. Couture tonight and he is optimistic that maybe that will be all they have to do. So we will pray for that. Mason is now off of CPAP and is just on nasal canula and is doing well with that and they increased his feeds to 4.8 per hour. He had a great day which is a blessing! He learned a new trick today...how to suck his thumb!
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.- Romans 5: 3-5
This picture and the positive report really warms my heart. Praying for Mason's continued recovery!
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious STAR.
ReplyDeleteGreat report...I can tell you first hand that when Dr. Couture tells you something he is telling you things that he knows not only in his head but also his heart....tell him that I still think of him, he was Mickey's doctor when he was shot....many, many prayers going up for your sweet boy and little family...
