Miracles for Mason
Share
On December 2nd, Mason was sent to Children's Hospital where he was diagnosed with a large mass to his right lung. A biopsy confirmed it is an extremely rare cancerous mass called inflammatory myofibroblast tumor. Mason underwent surgery to remove it on December 10th, however the surgeon was forced to leave a walnut-sized piece behind because it lies near a main artery. He is currently undergoing
They took Mason down around 230. The operation could take 1-3 hours. 1 hour if everything goes smoothly, they find the nodule right away, he doesn't bleed too much, and if his oxygen level doesn't drop.
If they are having a hard time finding the nodule, they may have to have radiology come down, locate it, and put a coil near it so the surgeon can feel for it.
If he starts to bleed, well, they have to get it to stop.
If his oxygen saturation drops they will have to stop and help him breath with both lungs. Because the nodule is in one lung (the good lung) they are using a special tube that goes down only into his right lung which is to do all the breathing...because thats the lung that had several resection's already, he may not be able to keep his saturation level up with that lung alone-so they may have to stop and allow both lungs to breathe.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! They all mean so much to us! Mason was so brave going in. He wasn't scared at all 💛💛💛
