Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain.
An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind,
but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.

Mason had a pretty good day today. Once again, he started his day around midnight. He awoke and was playful for a couple of hours, holding his saturations for the most part. We were able to get in some good cuddle time and some good play time. Unfortunately, when he awoke at around 7:30 or so, he wasn't so good at holding his saturations, so had to be turned up quite a bit on his oxygen for an hour or so. After that bit of time, though, he rallied and was able to hold his saturations in the 80's or 90's while playing and was able to come back down to 75% on his oxygen.

After taking a nap for a couple of hours, he was once again up and ready to play with his Aunt JuJu and Uncle Charlos. He was able to hold his saturations up fairly well and unlike yesterday, didn't need to go back to sleep right away. In fact, he stayed up for about 6 hours and was able to play with his Staramama and Pom Pomp as well.

The only snag in the day was a result of the antibiotics that Mason's on now. As is usual, he has an upset tummy and diarrhea from the antibiotics. We're not sure how long the course of antibiotics is, but hope that his body accommodates to it soon so that he's not uncomfortable.

We are so thankful for the good day with all the playing, laughing, and cuddling!
