Mason has had a very busy day so far. When I came in this morning, they notified me that Mason would be moving to the Holden NICU today. I helped the nurses prepare him for his trip downstairs and we moved him around 11:30am. He handled the move like a champ and he will get to stay in his crib, but all of his med lines and pumps need to be changed (because the PICU and NICU do things differently).
Mason's oxygen level on his vent came down to 40% today and he seems to be taking it well. His pressure has not been changed from 28 to 27 yet. I am assuming this is because of his big move. They may just decide to let him rest today.
The NICU is small and cramped when it comes to space, much different than the spacious PICU. They have some pretty strict rules when it comes to the number of visitors (no more than 2 at any time). The advantage is that the NICU has more experience dealing with CDH babies. Right now there are 4 other babies with the same condition in the NICU.
