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.

Gift for Daddy

Yes, it's true, Mason had a very precious birthday present for Daddy today. Thanks in large part to all of your prayers (and a little bit glycerin suppository), Mason gave a little of himself for his Daddy's birthday present.

He's happy, "talking," giggling, on 1.75 liters of oxygen and almost back to his normal self. Now we just need to make sure that he doesn't catch some bug in the hospital as get his feeds up to an ounce an hour which is the rate he was eating before his surgery.

He did have another chest xray today because of a little cough he developed. I think he's still trying to cough up some gunk from his lungs, but they want to make sure that it isn't something else. We haven't heard what the xray showed or didn't show, but I'll keep you posted.

I guess 3 cheers, or cheers for all 3 is appropriate. Congratulations. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Hi there! We've been tracking Mason's progress through the blog - so glad to hear things are going well! Thanks for all the updates.

Happy Birthday Bill! We have a gift for you, and normally I would say it was better than a pile of poop, but I guess not in this case.

Take care and we hope to see you all home soon.
