I'm going to make this short and sweet tonight because Mason just fell asleep and I want to do the same. Overall he had an ok day. Saturated in the 90's when he was asleep and mostly in the 70's and 80's when asleep. He played more today and had more times of laughing and smiling - something that I love!!!
With the awesome advocacy from our fantastic nurse, the medical team decided to leave well enough alone. They decided that they did not need to mess with the ventilator settings for now. They did agree to wean the methadone a little bit more (we talked about it yesterday) and said they really want to wean the oxygen concentration faster, but that's it. We agreed that we would try to wean the oxygen as fast as Mason let us, but reminded them that we are not going up and down, but steadily down. Yeah, us!!

Good to hear that Mason continues to adjust well to changes in medication and ventilator. So nice to hear that yesterday was a good day of playing. Hope that you all had a good night's sleep. Still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

It makes my heart smile to hear of Mason smiling and laughing. What precious moments for you and Bill. I'm still hopeful for our prayer for a miracle along with everyone else on "Team Mason". By the way, that is something we've started at work...Team Mason!! We even have armbands thanks to Marj. :) There is not a day we are not thinking of you guys. Angie
So happy to hear that you all had a good day. Thinking of you every day.
