Updates

A few quick updates:

- Mason will go to surgery for his next belly closure tomorrow at 3:30pm.

- Mason has been put on a different vent setting which allows him to do more breathing on his own. On the previous setting the vent gave him a breath at a set time. This new program can sense when he is breathing and will not force in a breath in unless he slows down or stops breathing. They put him on it last night and he seems to be handling it fairly well. The docs are having to adjust his rate and pressure a bit to adapt to his behavior on the new setting. The good thing about this setting is that it is one step closer to coming off the vent.

- The docs have also stopped Mason's feeds. He continued to vomit when they tried to start them again over the weekend. Looks like they might wait a while before starting again.

Hi Mason,

Don't worry about this food stuff. It isn't all it is cracked up to be expecially at this age. Wait until the chocolate malts and really good stuff comes along.

Good luck on your surgery today. We are all praying for you and the docs.

Lots of love,

An Alcona friend
