Today Mason is one month old. How the time has flown by. Looking back at pictures of when he was born, Joe and I realized how much Mason has actually grown. He is turning into a handsome little man. The doctors, nurse practitioners, and nurses here in the NICU have been great. Everyone is so caring and his primary nurses treat him as though he is their own son.
The past few days have been nice uneventful days. The doctors are continuing to increase his feedings and decrease his ventilator settings. He is on pretty low settings on his ventilator and his oxygen demands have decreased. He just needs to grow and get stronger to be able to breathe longer with less help.
Today he had another head ultrasound to check for a bleed. This is a routine one that they do at one month of age. We won't get the results until sometime later today. We found out the second MRSA culture that they took this Sunday has come back negative. They will do another one sometime next week and if it comes back negative we can stop the isolation precautions that the nurses have to wear with him.
Happy Birthday, Mason :)
