Doing good

Logan is statting pretty good. His oxygen needs are down to 21% when he's resting and 25% when he's awake. He is a little fussy but who wouldn't be with all broken limbs, a gaping hole in your stomach, and no food.

His heart rate is anywhere between 70 and 130 depending whether he is asleep or awake.

Other than being irritable he is doing awesome. Go my little man, go!

Doing Better

Logan is doing a little better. He had 2 brady episodes but he brought himself back up. He had one of his seizure like episodes and they had him hooked up to the EEG so they'll be able to look at it tomorrow when they download the results. His dressings look good and aren't saturating with blood and fluids as fast. They changed some of the packed dressings and day by day they'll pull a little more out and let it heal. They said his stomach is looking better. No temps. They increased his pain meds again and put him back on versed. They don't think the versed and the seizure like things are linked. I guess we'll find out. He is still vented but they didn't have to chase his O2 needs as much. All in all everyone seems satisfied with his recovery. I think that if I color coated the severity he was Red on Sunday. Burnt Orange Monday. Regular Orange today. Hopefully tomorrow I can report a bit of yellow :)

Oh and yes.....I'm a goof ball.

I won't let you.

Logan very nearly died today. He had been having bronchial spasms that closed his airways Saturday night. Every time this happened that had to give him breaths of straight oxygen. At about 8:30 Sunday morning he had a bad episode and his heart stopped. His oxygen went basicly to 0. They coded him and it was that scene from er. Chest compressions. Counting. Breathing. Loved one crying to come back.

It was all too real.

They were able to revive him after 2-3 minutes.

The decision was pretty much made to send him to a children's hospital. They sent him here: http://www.childrenshospitalofil.org/

It is downright the most beautiful hospital I have ever set my eyes on. There are so many places to explore and the detail is amazing. I wish we could have brought him here sooner.

The technology alone is amazing. The staff is so wonderful. I am saddened that he is so far away from me but I know they are taking care of my little wonder.

I love you Logan. Don't stop fighting. You are in a safe place and mommy needs you.
