Since Mondays incident, Mason has made some daily progress. Today, his lung volumes are looking good, his blood pressure has increased slightly (a good thing), and his ECMO flow is slowly coming down (needs to be low for another trial).
Mason continues to show his personality to the nurses and doc's. He pouts at them when they change his diaper, change his position, give him an ultrasound, etc. He really gets mad when they change his dressings (looks pretty painful). He also gets upset when his warm blankets are pulled back. We have included a couple of pictures, one of his pouty face and one of him sleeping.
We are hoping for an ECMO trial in the next few days. The doc's seem to want to be very conservative when it comes to this next trial, in case something like Monday happens again. Mason sure suprised us all when he pulled through Monday's incident. Mason sure is a fighter and has been through a lot in the last 2 weeks. His Mom and Dad are very proud!

Great pictures!!! Mason looks so adorable. I will admit.......I taught Mason the pouty face before I left (gotta learn from the best of em'); I think Grandpa Ellinger taught him the sleepy face. :) Hope you guys are doing well!

Mason isn't just showing his many faces he is demonstrating his strength and determination to win as well.
Our prayers are with you and Mason everyday.

He is so cute! Sounds like he is a communicator. This is good, the doctors know exactly what he is thinking.
