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.

Not So Boring

Well, today wasn't so boring, but unfortunately, not so good, either.

Mason decided to stay up a bit longer last night and finally fell asleep around 3:30 or so. I kept waiting for him to awaken again, but caught a couple of zzz's in the chair near his bed. When I woke up around 4 and he was still asleep, I realized that he had finally given up for the night.

This morning, he finally awakened around 11 and unfortunately, never really kept his saturations up for a long time. We turned his oxygen up a bit (now between 74% when asleep and 80% when awake) and things stabilized some. Once again, Mason slept much of the day; I don't know if its because he's tired from being up most of the night or if it's because of another reason. We just hope for a better day tomorrow.

May you have
a world of wishes at your command;

And Irish blessings in you heart.

We've never met, but I read your blog. (I'm friends with Rob & Linda, whose blog is linked to yours.) I just want you to know that even strangers like me are thinking of you and your beautiful boy and wishing you strength and peace. I'm not religious, but I pray to the god of my understanding, and you are all in my prayers. In a book I read a while ago I read that a sick child brings out the warrior in a parent. To you and all the warriors out there, I'm sending you the very best thoughts possible.

Sincerely,
Audrey DeKam

Helen Ruff O’Rourke and I are still reading your blog and thinking of Mason. I just got around to reading the “Broken” blog. I wish I can say and do more than say I’m really sorry and we pray for baby Mason all the times. All the time.

God's peace be with you. I thank you for your strength and courage to share this blog.

Sean and Helen O'Rourke
