Today marks the beginning of our 4th week in the hospital. We've seen ups, downs, and in betweens. Mason's definitely better today than when we walked into the hospital 4 weeks ago, but not ready, yet, to go home.
We did another a burst of Lasix today as the right lung is starting to sound a little wet again (the left has had fluid all over the last week, but the right was sounding clear until today). It's hard to tell this quickly, but it looks like this might have helped a little bit. So, we are staying the course with trying to dry Mason out as much as is safely possible while beefing up his calories so he continues to grow, but doesn't have as much fluid in his system.
Tomorrow brings another attending pediatrician to work with. We are hopeful that the plan will remain the same and Mason will start responding better to the medications than he has over the past few days. Please say an extra prayer for Mason to respond well to the lasix and decreased fluid so that we can start to plan for our return home.
