I don't know how, but somehow Mason is still with us. He continues to fight and sometimes has good times and sometimes has bad times. He still awakens and interacts with us. He still awakens and wants that wretched wet washcloth - and it better be just the right temperature and just the right wetness or he tells us to do it again. Don't know where he got to be so opinionated and stubborn... He continues to show us his fighting spirit as we stand by him, comfort him, and treasure every precious moment with him. Our hearts break several times a day watching him, but are also lifted at times when he seems to be comfortable and secure with our words and touch. We are doing everything we can to keep him comfortable and at peace. We still don't know when, we are just holding on to each other making it through moment by moment. Thank you for your continued words of support, prayers for a miracle, and comfort from afar.

Prayers are with you and your family. We have added you to our prayer chains. You two are so incredibly strong.
You are all in my thoughts nearly every moment
of the day. You are wonderful parents to a beautiful child. He looks so much like Bill, reminds me of when he was little. I can't fathom how hard this must be,
please know you have the love and support
of so many of us here in Minnesota.

I just don't know what to say Christi. Everything I want to write sounds empty and unworthy of letting you know how much my heart breaks for you.
A special thank you to you for keeping us updated. It takes an incredible person to think of updating us at such a difficult time for you. I remain in awe of you.
Thinking of you guys constantly and praying often. Christi, your Kaiser family continues to stand by for anything you and Bill could possibly need that we could feasibly give you. Just say the word.
We are continuing to pray for you, Bill and Mason. Asking God for peace and a miracle - one more time.
You are so strong and so amazing. My heart is breaking for you.
If there is anything I could do for you, please let me know.
I second Aidan's mom. I don't know what to say. But I am thinking of you and praying for each of you, often.
Mason, Christi and Bill - wishing you ongoing strength to be thankful for each minute as it comes. You have the hearts and thoughts of so many hoping to give you just a little support to sustain your grace. Susan H

Dear Ones, We prayed for the miracle for Mason at church again today. We will continue nonstop. Our favorite priest said: "What comes from God is never lost". We both thought about Mason immediately. I picture angles surrounding your precious little family during this so sad time. You are cradled always in our hearts. What risks you have taken for love! Your courage continues to strengthen and amaze us!
Prayers are still coming your way. Treasure the moments you have with Mason; glad he is still awakening and interacting with you!! Can't even imagine how hard it is to see Mason fighting so hard. We are sending you strength and courage. Thank you so much for the updates.
Dear Christi and Bill,
What a rollercoaster you must be on. My heart aches for you. Thank you for including us all through your blog. You and Mason are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Gini
I continue to pray for your precious little boy and for you, Bill and Christi. He knows he is so very loved and cherished.

Christi, Bill, and of course Mason,
Your family is an inspiration. You show such strength, grace, and love every day. You are so generous to all of us for sharing these unbelievably trying times with us. My hopes, my prayers are that we can all continue to show you the love and admiration we have for you. Wishing you more smiles, reaches, and hugs. Maura
Dearest Mason, Christi and Bill,
We awake every morning with a prayer on our lips and we hold your exhausted, strong, loving spirits in our hearts throughout the day. We pray for peace for each of you. Kathy and Ed
You keep a vigil of incredible love and your son knows the meaning of your love.
A Jesuit friend is saying Mass for all of you each day.
My prayers weave throughout the day for you. You will never be able to comprehend how your mother- and-father-hearts inspire countless others - certainly me.
Love from Sister Mary
prayers and love!!!
