Day 31

Mason and I snuggled for three hours again today.  He did great.  His feedings were increased today.  They had to give him some medicine to help get fluid off of his lungs.  The doctors think this is why he has been requiring more oxygen the past two days.  After this medicine he had a x-ray and his lungs looked better.  His blood gas was also better than it has been in days.  He is still having some weird heart arrhythmia.  They seem to happen each time he gets a nebulizer treatment for his lungs.  They held the nebs today and are having the cardiologist come see him just to make sure everything is alright.  Cultures were taken again today to make sure he is negative for MRSA and we won't know the final results until 48 hours after.  So far the preliminary report is negative.
