Mason UPDATE...Good News Thanks to Prayers

Hi Everyone! We just wanted to give you all an update on Mason. He's been home from daycare for a week now and is doing much better. His respiratory issues are almost a "nonissue" now - which is wonderful. We went to Children's Hospital on Friday for his CF test and he did wonderfully. We found out on Friday evening that he tested negative, which was music to our ears. They also did some bloodwork which also came back normal. What that means to us now is that Mason, like his brother, has a pretty severe case of asthma. We will continue to treat him acutely as we have been and monitor him more heavily when he does get sick again. HOpefully this is something that both Mason and Jack will outgrow as they get older. Until then, Tim and I just educate ourselves a bit more on Asthma and learn how to let both of the boys be at the best health that they can be given our circumstances.

So......the news was what we wanted to hear! Thank you everyone for your prayers and good thoughts. It obviously gave us the outcome that we wanted.
