Mason made it through surgery well. The surgeon was happy with the surgery and feels the technical stuff went well. It took a bit of time to wean Mason off of the breathing tube (ventilator), but after a little bit of effort, Mason was extubated and breathing on his own with a nasal cannula (nose oxygen tube) and mask. The anesthesiologist told us that he didn't want to say he was surprised, but he was really pleased that Mason was able to come off of the breathing tube so quickly. He is doing fairly well, and continuing to wean down on his oxygen need. The nurses are helping to keep his surgical pain level under control with morphine and tylenol. He's not out of the woods yet, but hopefully, through the night his oxygen need will return to normal and his pain will continue to be under control.
Thank you to everyone for you continued prayers. We are so grateful that our little fighter continues his battle to recovery!
