Weekend update

Overall, Mason is about the same. He hasn't really lost a lot of fluid according to his weight and how his body looks. The good news is it might have rearranged a little and isn't pulling his incision open. So that is a blessing. He is having problems with his platelets dropping and they have given him some albumin to try to pull everything in and follow it with lasix to try to get some of the fluid out. The surgeon on call this weekend wants to continue giving him albumin followed by lasix until we see an improvement. Hopefully that will be sometime soon! They are weaning his fentanyl now and giving him versed if he seems agitated. He is breathing better over the vent and this afternoon I massaged his legs (to try to get some of the swelling out) and he really liked it. He was trying to turn his head to see who was doing it and it was cute to see his little eyes cut back at me. So basically we have to get that swelling off! I am so glad it isn't hurting his belly so bad and he does seem like he is feeling better so that is good. This little boy needs to loose some weight and get off the vent!

I sure do love Mommy massaging my legs.
