Sweet little boy


Mason had another uneventful day. He rested some and was awake some. He is breathing ok now on 2 liters and is handling that. He does great breathing when he is awake but when he drifts off to sleep he gets back into his bad habit of short and shallow breathing. His EVD is still draining well which is a blessing. The results of the cranial ultrasound showed a slight improvement of less cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and from the ultrasound it does look like the left and right side are communicating (which is good news). Shunt surgery is officially scheduled for Tuesday and we are hoping to get him circumcised and to get a g tube put in at the same time. We have labs tomorrow to check everything but he is doing well. We are VERY THANKFUL for good days and pray that they continue. It is nice to see this little boy wide awake! Below is a video. Hard to believe he is almost 5 months old!

  1. I happened upon your blog recently & I just wanted to let you know that prayers are being sent up for you & your sweet Mason! I remember when my daughter was in the NICU & someone told me to be sure to celebrate the days when "no news was good news." Great advice that we probably didn't follow enough. God Bless!
