Waking up

So instead of resting up for his big surgery day (on Tues. still don't know an exact time) Mason is waking up. I think because of all of the excess CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) that has been on his head plus all the seizure medicines he has been on Mason has been out of it A LOT lately. Well, now he is making up for lost time. He is so wide awake and very active. They told us that now when he lays on his belly he will pick his head up and change sides trying to get himself comfortable. Pretty impressive considering (technically) he is only 3 weeks old (adjusted). He was wide awake the whole time we were up there today sucking on his paci, looking around, and taking in all of his surroundings. What a great site to see! He has had a little bit of an upset stomach today which has also lead to a red bottom. The tummy is probably coming from a long effect of the antibiotics he has been on and it is just upsetting his tummy. He would definitely let you know when he had gone because he was NOT happy and his bottom is pretty irritated. His pre-op labs today were good and he is doing well. Almost 200 ml of CSF has drained off of his head since last Monday. He has a cranial ultrasound scheduled tomorrow to gain more information before the surgery and to make sure the drain is still working correctly but I believe it is! We are thankful for our sweet boy and hopefully for a good surgery and quick recovery!

All ready for Halloween, dressed up in my tiger outfit that my brother picked out for me.
