Quick update

It has been a long day but I am going to give a quick update. This morning, Mason's nurse felt like his belly looked worse so they did some more x-rays and they looked the same. His tummy area is very swollen and red looking. This morning they did get the results of the abdominal fluid they found from the surgery and it was positive for a staph infection. Not typically what you would think of finding in his belly and the specimen that was found in blood/urine was enterobacter cloacae. So throughout the day Mason's belly has gotten bigger which has, in turn, made it more difficult for him to breath so they had to go up on his vent settings tonight. They do think he is on the right anti-biotics to cover it but it will take a few days to know for sure. Please pray for Mason to improve. He was doing so well before this. His platelets also continue to drop even after transfusion. Hopefully he will start to get better and his stomach will improve with his swelling. He is more awake today but you can tell his tummy is really bothering him. Thanks for your continued prayers.
