Surgery Time

We heard from the hospital today and Mason's surgery is scheduled for 7:30am, the first one of the day. We have to have him checked in by 6:30am. We are expecting the surgery to last 4 to 5 hours since it is an open procedure and requires a partial new incision. Most of the time they can use the old CDH repair incision, but since Mason's repair was on the right side and his stomach on the left, he will require a new incision. We will update the blog as soon as we have a chance tomorrow. It may not be until later tomorrow night. We appreciate all of your prayers for Mason! We are praying that his surgery goes well with little or no complications!

Mason has been doing well for the last couple of weeks. He loves to stand up in our laps with our hands under his arms for support. He can bear all of his body weight for long periods of time now. Mason has also started to sit up by himself for short periods of time in the last couple of days. He sits leaning forward with his hands holding himself from falling forward. It is so cute to watch him because after 20 or 30 seconds, he topples over. He sure looks like he is proud of himself though! Once we can capture this on film (it will be a challenge) I will post it in his photo gallery.

Mason has also become quite the talker. He loves to babble! See below.....
