It took a long time, but the GoLytely was effective. Mason's gut has finally started moving again this afternoon. He feels a lot better and even started saturating a little better after his first poo -- he's gonna kill me when he's a teenager and reads these!
Today was a fairly "good" day with no major changes. We talked the doctors into no changes with his nitric oxide or his ventilator settings today. We didn't want to mess with anything while waiting for poop. The one thing that did change today was medication. Mason was started on another medication that would help him get rid of mucus. His xray this morning showed the upper lobe of his right lung was trying to deflate again. Hopefully this new medication will help to release any mucus plugs that might be forming and allow it to re-inflate once again.
Just a few more days until the trachea surgery. I say a little prayer each night thanking God for allowing us to stay "critically stable. Again, each morning, I ask God to allow Mason to continue to hold "critically stable."

Continuing to pray for critically stable. Can we pray for improved stable, too?
Glad his gut is moving. Do you need anything?
Thank goodness for miracles and poop is one. We will pray for improved stable as well. Bundles of love to all of you.
Bill, Christi, and Mason,
The small victories really keep a person going. Who would guess poop can be so exciting. :) It is good to hear that Mason is more comfortable. What a praise! It is also good to hear that he continues to hold his own as we count the days down toward his surgery.
I continue to pray for you all. Waiting is one of the most difficult things when you feel powerless, but God is all powerful, and has a plan for your little miracle- Mason.
Kristie
We continue to ask for support for Masson the little miracle...
Heidi, Don, Tay, and Hailey
