Mason continues to put up a valiant fight despite low saturations. He had a relatively comfortable day and was able to sit up in my arms as I crawled into his crib a couple of times. We don't know how much longer we have with him...hours, days, maybe even, though very unlikely, months. We treasure every cuddle, every smile, every reach for his wet washcloth. We are in an impossible situation and it helps make it just a little less crappy knowing that you are all out there praying for us and thinking of us. We really appreciate all of the comments you've posted. Thank you for loving Mason and supporting us.

Christi,
I don't think that my last comment got posted. I think you and I were writing at the same time! Maybe that is a sign, who knows? If you want to ask anything or talk about anything, I am here. Our babies...so precious!
Linda (Erin's mom)
I've been thinking about you all day long (and many times throughout the night last night), trying to imagine what you are going through and wishing it could be different. I am thankful to hear that you had a relatively comfortable day. May you enjoy every cuddle and every smile from your amazing little guy.
Love,
Catherine

I am so, so, so happy you have been able to cuddle Mason and interact with him. That was just one of my many prayers. We are continuing to hold you close in thought and in prayer. You are an amazing family. Mike, Angie, A&D.
Precious peaceful moments with your son. God is good.

2:30am. God has woken me up to pray more. Amazing how Mason has wedged his way into so many hearts.

It was nice to visit with you and Mason yesterday. Can't find the right words to properly express my feelings at this difficult time - lots of admiration for you and Bill, lots of love for Mason. - Michael Salinsky
Mason must know just how wholely and completely he is loved. As always, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Christi, you probably don't remember me but Valerie and I have been friends for 20 years and our children are friends. She has kept me up to date on Mason and I remember when he was born. He truly is a fighter and a gift to the whole family. Your beautiful boy is in my prayers.

Cherish every moment with your precious little Valentine.
Love and prayers,

What a terrible way to introduce myself but I’m Sean, Helen’s husband (Gloria and John’s Helen). I've been reading this blog for some time and relaying it to Helen. Yesterday, I read the same post over and over expecting to somehow say something different. But it just kept saying the same thing.
Let it be known that the story of Mason Ryder is known in our Cincinnati home and is mentioned often at mealtime prayers. I am convinced there is a God and he has your boy in his hands. As he always did and always will.
Peace be with all.
Sean O’Rourke
Cherish every moments with your little one and each other. As hard as it is, this is a very special time. Your strength is an inspiration to us all. I have many asking in on you. We are all thinking and sending our support your way.

Wanted to let you know that we are praying for your little guy, and can't imagine the pain and joy you experience daily. Ike and Kristie are our dear friends and we know that God has placed them near you for a very specific reason. We are praying for great comfort to come and cover all of you.
with love,
RuthAnn and Andy
Bill and Christi:
This is Uncle Bob [Eddie's Dad] and I send my Prayers for Mason and for God to heal his little body for His Glory, Amen!
Eddie and Rachael send their love and prayers also. I'll continue to be in prayer for him and both of you also. I share Psalm 37:4 and it says: "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Uncle Bob
Bill and Christi,
God is holding your family in His hands, close to His heart and is walking every step of this journey with you.
Your journey has been a powerful one, and each of us who have been reading your blog have had your love and your words move us. We are all better people because of your family.
There is something amazingly beautiful about you two placing Mason in your hearts and hands and escorting him right to the gates of heaven. Turning him over to God and to all the family and friends who have gone before us.
I love you guys.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. How very blessed Mason is to have such loving parents.
Just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you. Glad to hear that you are getting smiles and cuddles with Mason. Hope you get many more. We are continuing to send you prayers.
Thank you for all your updates.
Precious moments.
Corrine
Sending much love to all of you and many prayers to God. Give Mason kisses for us and the kids - they are praying, too.

Nichole
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
You are such incredible parents!
You are incredible parents! Mason is a blessing and blessed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Glad he can be in your arms. Sometimes all one needs is to feel the heart beat of their mother or father to be at peace, despite what's happening. We love you dearly. And we're all praying over here for you, even those that don't know you have heard your story and will be praying whenever they can.
Love,
Katie and Valencia
I am out of town this weekend but you and mason are much in my thoughts and prayers. I picture your cuddles together, and am grateful for your willingness to share with all of us at this time through the blog. Chris
Precious one,
So small, So sweet
Dancing in on angel feet
Straight from Heaven's brightest star; what a miracle you are!
We love you baby Mason!
