Another busy day at UofM today. To start, the docs weaned Mason's vent pressure and rate today and he tolerated both very well. The docs also began the weaning process again for his morphine and sedation and he seems to be doing well with that too.
Mason also took a road trip down to the 3rd floor for his urology tests and feeding tube placement. The urology tests came back fine. This is of course great news and means no further major surgeries for Mason. It was a hard test to watch as it took place in one of the large radiology labs. Picture a huge x-ray machine and a small 6 pound baby right in the middle. I wasn't prepared to see him in such large equipment and it broke my heart to see just how small and fragile he looked. As for Mason, the tests didn't seem to phase him at all. He was a little upset at first and then he slept through the rest. In the process Mason also received his NJ tube. This is a feeding tube that passes through his nose and into his intestines. The docs are hoping that this will help with his reflux. They are already discussing the possibility of starting his feeds tomorrow.
The biggest news of the day is that Noah's parents got to take him home this afternoon! Noah did great tolerating his feeds and the docs let him go home. We are excited for Noah and his family and we are sure they will do great!
