Home At Last!
Submitted by Susan on Fri, 09/18/2009 - 1:58pmMason was discharged from the hospital yesterday. He ended up having 2 line cultures drawn from his central line to check for infection, both of which were negative! YEAH! His lymphocyte count came back a little high, so they are thinking that the vomiting was due to a virus.
We are very happy to be home again. It feels so good to sleep in our own beds and I know that Mason missed his as well. I gave Mason a bath this morning and then we quickly found our old routine of cuddling and watching Sesame Street until Mason was ready for a nap. Whoever said "there's no place like home" didn't know the half of it!!
Update
Submitted by Susan on Tue, 09/15/2009 - 11:22amWe have not yet received any results from Mason's line culture. They are treating him with general antibiotics until we hear from the lab. Luckily, they have not stopped his feeds this time; that usually makes for a very unhappy baby! Mason only had one nap yesterday, and had been up since 1:00 in the afternoon. Once again, Mason missed home and his own bed lastnight. That seems to be an issue any time he is hospitalized. The doctor had to give him Benadryl at 2 a.m because he just wouldn't sleep. I did take him out into the hallway to walk around for a bit where he seemed much happier. Unfortunately the battery on his I.V. pump was almost dead and needed to be plugged in, so again we were confined to our room. Mason finally fell asleep around 3 a.m.
Home Away From Home
Submitted by Susan on Mon, 09/14/2009 - 1:12pmMason will be admitted to University of MD Pediatric Floor this afternoon for a suspected line infection. He has been showing all of the same symptoms as last time with intermittent normal and low grade temps. Although the nurse came out last night and drew a line culture, Mason's team feels that he probably is brewing another infection and feels that it would be best to have him admitted to the hospital. I will update everyone when we can breathe.

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!
Submitted by Susan on Tue, 09/08/2009 - 3:42pmWe celebrated Mason's first birthday on Saturday. We have received some wonderful blessings during this past year, and had many things to celebrate! I can't believe he is already a year old; where does the time go?
