Today Mason decided that he didn't need his NJ feeding tube anymore. He took matters into his own hands and yanked it out this morning. Unfortunately the doctors, nurses and his parents didn't agree. Mason has earned himself another road trip to the 3rd floor radiology lab to have another one placed tomorrow. Until he receives a new tube he cannot be fed. His IV fluids and nutrition were increased to make up for the difference.
Mason continues to do well with his vent sprints. He is up to 4 hours 2 times per day. We are still hoping that he gets extubated tomorrow, but are now wondering if the NJ tube will take priority and push that back a day or two. I guess we will find out tomorrow.
He also seems to be handling the methadone and sedation weans pretty well.

Hi Mason,
Well, we can understand wanting to get rid of all those tubes and things, but sometimes, we must endure.
We all are pleased that you continue to make good progress and with great spirit. It won't be long before you can visit us in Alcona and show off for Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa Ellinger.
Till them, God bless, keep going up hill, and our prayers are with all of you.
An Alcona friend.
Mason,
You keep getting feistier and feistier! Good job with keeping your mom and dad on their toes.
