October 18 - Day 21

This morning Mason's labs showed that he has an infection.  Luckily we sent all those specimens yesterday, but won't have results until tomorrow.  His blood gases have been better today.  He has been up and down on his oxygen throughout the day.  His renal ultrasound they did yesterday was normal.  His chest x-ray looks worse than it has.  The doctor isn't sure if its from the steroids wearing off or from infection.  We will find out tomorrow.
