Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain.
An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind,
but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.

No News is Good News

Mason is doing fairly well 1 day after having his "2 month" immunizations. He is a little more fussy when he gets tired, but generally still happy. He has needed a little bit more oxygen today (wasn't really able to get down to 1 liter), but doesn't appear to be having any kind of a bad reaction. Later in the evening, we did find a red spot where he had 1 of his immunizations, but the doctor looked at it and was pleased. Apparently, this means that his immune system is reacting to the shot which is what it is supposed to do. They will continue to monitor through the night to make sure he still does ok, and barring anything new, we will likely be headed home by late morning.

Mason is needing about the same amount of oxygen as he was at when we came into the hospital, but hopefully over time, the effects of the aspiration last week and the effects of the possible cold he had will wear off and his oxygen need will come down over time. If not, hopefully he will remain stable and be ready for surgery in December.
