Mason moved to 6th floor

Yesterday, Mason was moved to Intermediate Care (IMC) on the 6th floor. He is in room 608. After the surgical scraping they did on Friday, wound care was even more painful for dear Mason. Leslie did his hand and half of his right leg, but the pain became so unbearable that she stopped and didn't even unwrap his left leg. On the 6th floor, they will be able to perform the wound care with Mason under conscious sedation because of the increased monitoring they have there (continuous heart, respiration, blood pressure, oxygen saturation monitoring, etc.). This means he will probably be in the hospital longer than Monday. He may leave by the end of this coming week. His burns are healing very well, but, as the deeper areas improve, they become more sensitive and more painful. Where he couldn’t feel before is now extremely painful. He might be moved back to the 8th floor in a few days.

The rules for this unit are stricter than on the 8th floor, especially related to visitors. There are certain visiting hours. Doors to the unit close and lock when visiting hours are over. His room is also smaller with only two chairs.

The visiting hours are:
5:00-5:30am
10:00-10:30am
12:00-1:30pm
3:00-3:30pm
5:00-6:00pm
9:00-9:30pm

The room number is 324-7 608.
