Mason continues to do well today. He is still off the blood pressure meds and seems to be maintaining a good blood pressure.
The docs have started to slowly weaned his sedation and pain medication. The sedation is weaned in the AM and the pain medication is weaned in the PM.
His vent pressure settings are down to 27 with a rate of 50. His oxygen has been weaned down to 30%. He seems to be tolerating both changes well.
Mason is also ready for visitors. Travis and I welcome those who wish to visit Mason but respectfully request that he not have visitors that are sick or feeling like they are coming down with a cold, cough, etc. Many of the babies in the NICU are critically ill and something as simple as a cold could be dangerous to them. Also, the NICU will not allow children visitors unless they are immediate family (like a brother or sister). If you wish to visit, please get in touch with Travis or I and we can plan on a time. This is important since visitors are only allowed when Travis and I are present (except for Grandparents). Also, Mason is only allowed 2 visitors at his bedside at anytime.

It seems like Mason is quite the fighter! He is plugging away slowly but surely. I wish we lived closer so we could come visit all of you. I love that he already has red hair too :)
Love, Sarah

This is awesome news!!! Having visitors is a great sign! I'm so glad to hear they're able to slowly wean him from things & that he's handling it so well.
The pictures are absolutely beautiful. It was great to talk to you and are looking forward to coming down next Satuday. It is so great to hear of the progress Mason is making. I am in awe of the things they are able to do for him. I'm sure you are exhausted but hang in there! We'll see you soon.
