October 22 - Day 25

Mason had a better day today. We were able to wean his ventilator settings a little.  He is still requiring more oxygen than we would like, but his blood gases have been stable.  His labs are becoming more stable as well.  Mason was put on a "diet" as one of the doctors put it.  He was retaining so much fluid that it was making it more difficult for him to breath so they restricted the fluids they were giving him.  He was able to get rid of a lot of that fluid and is now much less puffy.  All in all, a better day.
