Home Sweet Home!!!!

Mason came home today!! It is such a relief to be home, for all of us, including Buster (who was pretty lonely the last 5 days). Sorry it took us so long to post! Travis and I have been taking turns spending the night with Mason, only returning home to shower and feed Buster, etc. The computer in Mason's room was broken so we were unable to use it to post.

Mason hit his goal feeds on Saturday night and was doing great. Sunday morning the docs were getting the discharge paperwork ready we had a complication. It started on Saturday evening when Mason had still not moved his bowels yet so he was given a suppository. It literally only took about 2 minutes before his bowels moved, and moved, and moved, and moved.... By Sunday morning, Mason was moving his bowels once an hour which is far from normal from him. By Sunday night, Mason had lost about 12 ounces but was showing some positive signs of slowing down. They kept him overnight for observation and to make sure he did not dehydrate. He did great and was sent home this morning.

His lungs did great throughout his stay and remained clear. He never had any major desat's and was able to go without oxygen during the day. He stayed on oxygen at night as usual.

Tomorrow he will get his first synergis shot to help protect him from RSV. Next week we will follow up with his Pediatrician, Pulmonologist, and Pediatric Surgeon to make sure he is still doing well and gaining back the weight he lost.
