Happy Halloween - Boo!

The past few days have been pretty uneventful for Mason.  The doctors have been increasing his feedings and monitoring his labs.  He did receive a blood transfusion yesterday but other than that he has been stable.  The last couple times he hasn't done as well transferring from his bed to mom so we took a day off today.  Hopefully tomorrow he will be well rested and we can cuddle again. They had been weaning his nitric the past few days and stopped it today.  His ventilator settings have stayed the same for awhile now.  There is talk about decreasing them this week and seeing how he does.

As far as the MRSA goes, his cultures that have been sent have all been negative except for the nasal swab.  This means that the infection in his lungs is gone, but he is still colonized with MRSA.  We are unsure of what happens now, will update on this when we know more.       

Below are a few pictures of Mason with the hat a few of his wonderful nurses made him for Halloween since I wasn't able to find a costume or hat small enough for him.  In the first picture he is already telling me to stop taking pictures of him. 

Mason being a big boy with his pacifier tonight before bed.  He LOVES it. He loves it so much and gets to sucking so hard that he sometimes forgets he has to breathe along with it.
