Recovering
Mason is no longer on a drug to keep him paralyzed, as the docs allowed him to wake up and move around today. His fever has also subsided, but they are still watching him closely. Mason's belly still looks pretty tight and his whole body is very puffy from all of the extra fluid and blood he received after the surgery. The docs have not weaned his vent settings yet, but his blood gases have consistently looked good so we are expecting that they will soon (maybe tonight?). The docs have also put his morphine and sedation weaning on hold until they are sure that he is comfortable after his surgery.

Mason,
Did you find anything good up there?

Hello T.J., Rosie, and baby Mason. It's Aimee, Chad's wife, I'm sorry it took so long to send a message, but I wasn't sure how to do it :( It is wonderful to hear things are going so well! You have all been in my thoughts and prayers during this time. He looks beautiful, the pictures are adorable! It's good to hear they are letting him wake up a bit, and that he's moving around exploring his surroundings as much as he can :) I just wanted to let you all know we are thinking of you and sending our love. Take care and God Bless. Aimee, Chad, and soon to be, little Gabriel :)
