Rough morning

Mason was very critical this morning. His belly looked like he has swallowed a basketball. He couldn't breathe and his np said if it didn't improve then he likely wouldn't make it. We were waiting on an ultrasound to see if it looked like there was fluid in his belly before they tapped his belly to draw off fluid. They ended up pulling off 373 cc of milk like fluid. It is now suspected that what that fluid was was his TPN and lipids that was running through his broviac. The ultrasound tech also looked at his broviac which looked questionable so they are going to do a contrast study to confirm that this is what it was. Blood also just came back with another bacteria so they changed around his antibiotics. Since they have drawn off the fluid Mason's breathing is so much better and he is alert and awake. We are thankful that he has improved.
