Mason's A Big Boy Now!

It had to happen sometime, and tonight just happened to be the night. I mean, we can't still be doing this when Mason's a teenager. And even though I'm used to it and am getting attached to it, I know it couldn't last forever.

Yes, it's true, Mason moved into his own room tonight. He has finally become stable enough that he doesn't desaturate much anymore. He's eating well with the feeding tube through the night, and hasn't pulled on his tube in a long time.

So, he graduated! We cleaned his room and moved his crib and changing table in earlier this evening. I've forgotten how big our room is (now that 2 fairly large pieces of furniture, 2 mondo tanks of oxygen, and a bunch of medical supplies are out).

I think I'm the only one having a hard time with it. Mason is sleeping just fine, Bill's excited to get a good night's sleep, and I'm having a hard time letting go. But, I know it's best for everyone's sanity. I'm not sure if I'll get more sleep tonight than with Mason in our room, but here's hoping! And really, it's not like our house is that big; I think it's just as far to go around the bed to his crib in our room as it is to go into his room.

Wish us (really, I mean me) luck!!
