Weekend

Today has been a great day for Mason. He slept until 8:00 and layed in bed with Lazy ME until 10:00am. While I went to the gym, Mason and Eric went to hang out on the farm with Mimi and Big Daddy. I didn't want to him to play too hard so they pretended to ride the mule and according to Eric, he had a pretty good time. Mason played outside for a little bit while I got the weeds in my yard under control and then he took a three hour nap, thanks to our good friend, "Benadryl".

Most of the day he had been in a great mood and only when we moved him the wrong direction or when he trys to play a little too hard does he grab his neck in pain. We have kept him on Motrin/Tylenol most of the day and he had a slight fever tonight before bed. I can definitely see lots of improvement in today compared to the previous days.

Tomorrow we are planning on taking him to the pool in the morning and then tomorrow night, he has a massage therapist making a house call to hopefully loosen his muscles up so his neck can relax. Mason is still having decent range of motion moving his head from side to side but has made no improvement looking down. I will try to take some video tomorrow because it's interesting watching him play. If he drops something, he will squat down and keep his head tilted back and feel with his hands on the ground until he finds the item he is looking for (Similar to someone that is blind). Walking has been a challenge too and we have to try to keep the floor picked up since he isn't able to really see if he is about to trip over something.

Today is Brooke's birthday and since Ryan had to work we went to her out to her favorite restaurant: Suzy Wongs House of Yum. We didn't tell Eric until we got there that he had to walk through the gay bar "Tribe" to get to it. He was a little weirded out by that but the food made up for it. The name is correct. It is YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Happy Birthday Brookie Poo! We love you!!
