Weekend update

Mason is doing good and is waking up more and more now that they are weaning him off of his seizure medicine some. When we got up there this afternoon he was trying to pull out his PICC line which is no good! He is back to his old tricks! They were finally able to weigh him since the EEG was removed on Friday and he weighs 8 lbs. 3 oz. So they increased his feeds to 21 cc/hour and he is doing great with that. An MRI is scheduled for tomorrow and they have weaned him off of CPAP and put him on high flow nasal canula to see if he can just do that with his MRI. Please pray for smooth sailing and good results with that tomorrow. We always tend to have WAY too much excitement with MRIs for some reason! He is still destating some depending on how he is laying and we are always watching out for any seizure like activity since they are weaning his medicine and have taken him off the EEG for monitoring. Hopefully he will continue seizure free. The tentative plan is for Mason's shunt surgery to be on Friday but we will see what happens since we are trying to switch neurosurgeons. Please continue to pray for all of this and for healing. We greatly appreciate all of your prayers, comments, and advice. It means a lot to us that you follow and love our little boy as much as we do.
