Someday, I will realize that saying things out loud or putting them in print sometimes, no many times, jinxes them.
Mason had been doing so well with his breathing and his eating. Unfortunately, over the last few days this has changed some. After his appointment with the doctor on Wednesday in which he got his 2nd round of immunizations, we changed some medications, and things started to go downhill. Originally we thought that it was just Mason's reaction to the immunizations, but today when his breathing and oxygen need were a little worse again, not better, we decided to reach out to our doctor. So, Mason had some lab tests today and ended up with a shot of Lasix (a pretty powerful diuretic). So far, he's doing a little better with his oxygen need and breathing, but the biggest change we've seen is that smile coming back. It was clear after a nap when we came home that Mason was feeling better. He woke up smiling and happy, a very welcome sight.
Hopefully this improvement will continue and Mason will go back to doing well and staying stable. Can't wait for the roller coaster to slow down.

We love the lasix. Joey got worse when we stopped his twice daily dose this past week... thus where we are now... so we are back on just once a day. Hopefully we can wean off. Thanks for all your help yesterday. Tell Mason good luck.
