Yay pictures!

When he's in a good mood you can tickle him

He was trying hard core to eat my finger.

So a bit of an update. When Logan eats we thought it just sat in his stomach and is really painful. They started doing xrays every 4 hours and they discovered that it is moving, just VERY VERY slowly. As an example they fed him the barium at 9am Wednesday morning and as I'm typing (almost 6am Thursday) it is just in his lower bowel. He isn't so much in pain anymore, just uncomfortable and hungry. The doctors haven't said why this is happening yet....if they even know. For now I'm going to try and be with him as much as possible. I have been able to keep him calm for more than 5 minutes at a time. It takes a certain amount of patting, and shaking that I have down to an art.

Barfed on

So feedings are going so-so. He is really fussy and he burps a lot. I'm wondering if he has reflux. He also barfed on me and it smelled horrible. We'll see what happens.

Very Merry Undbirthday

Today is Logan's Gestation Day! He is still under 5 pounds but he's going to start growing. I kinda got a little.....I dunno if aggressive is the right word but I scared the doctor into feeding him. Zach says I intimidated him. I didn't really mean to. I just wanted answers on WHY they weren't feeding him. The poor kid is starving!

These were taken on the 10th. It was his 100th day in the NICU. It was pretty cute.

His face is so chubby!!! It weirds me out that his eye is a little crosseyed but I'm told even term babies do this and it usually corrects itself after awhile.

Yay!

Logan extubated! For those of you who have no clue what that is they took his breathing tube out. He is doing okay. They're weaning his pain meds down and he's doing okay with that, too. They even heard some bowel sounds! This means maybe sometime in the next couple days he can have FOOD!

Done and done

Logan is out of surgery. He lost about 4 inches of intestine where it had narrowed and nothing would pass through it. His apendix had fallen into his hernia so they took it out then sewed up the hernia. They also successfully circumsised him. He is still heavily sedated (and will be for a few days). Otherwise his vitals are good and he is doing okay. He's still on the vent but will probably be on it at least for a few days.

Today is the day

Logan will be taken to surgery in about an hour and a half. We're beyond nervous. We tried to sleep but I tossed and turned the whole 5 hours we committed to sleep. Oh well. I'll update when he's out of surgery.

Big boy!

My wonder boy is now 3 months old!! In 16 days he will reach gestation day! He is getting so big. He is now 4 pounds 13 ounces.

He takes up a lot of room in his crib, now.

When he was born he barely reached Zach's wrist!

He's a big flirt with all the nurses. He's gonna be a ladies man.

He thinks daddy's hair is the greatest.

He's having surgery on this Wednesday, early in the morning. Please keep him in your prayers.
