No new changes

Logan has been fairly stable all day. He gets upset when he has to lay on his back and when he gets his diaper changed. I took his temp. tonight and changed his diaper. He was actually attempting to cry, it was so heartbreaking, but good to see him moving and attempting those things. Then the nurse rolled him over on his belly and he was much better. He attempts to open both eyes, and gets one of them open fairly wide but the other one only a little. He is still doing well with his 2 ccs of milk every 3 hours, which is fantastic. The doctor said tonight that they have to take his feedings slowly so he doesn't get a stomach infection and so his intestines are trained properly. The doctor also said that he will get another blood gas in the morning and they will determine what to do from there, hopefully wean him down more on the ventilator. Please pray that he will have a good blood gas in the morning and will tolerate a lower setting on the ventilator.

As a soon-to-be first time Grandma, my arms ache for you and Logan. Praise God for the wonderful support system that all of you have. I imagine all of you are in a blurr of emotions and lack of sleep. Keep your strength up and lean on each other and others as you need. I know the highs and lows can be very taxing, but, I believe God gives us just enough rain to make us really appreciate the beautiful rainbows!!
