A stable day

Well Logan has had a little better day than yesterday. As I mentioned earlier his carbon dioxide level had gone down to 55 (which is at the high end of normal), but the doctor wanted it lower still, so he increased Logan's breaths per minute to 20 from 15 to try and help with this. He will have another blood gas in the morning to determine his carbon dioxide levels. Please pray that these levels will drop into the normal range.

The doctor increased his feedings to 9ccs every 3 hours and they are still dripping it in over a 2 hour period. Logan really seems to do well with his milk this way. He has digested most of it over a 24 hour period, he just had 1-2 ccs of his 11:00 feeding left over this morning and that's basically it. This is great because the doctor said his feedings are crucial to him developing healthy lung tissue. Please pray that these continue to go well.

Logan has not really been agitated today, not near as much as yesterday. Thank God for this. I wonder if maybe he just didn't feel well yesterday. He cried only once for me today, when I changed his diaper around 5 p.m. Oh and Dad took Logan's temperature for the first time today! I think Danny is getting more comfortable with touching and messing with Logan.

Good job, Logan!! Gabi is blowing you kisses from Texas. She really wants you to be big and strong so you can go home soon. Keep drinking mama's milk and you'll be home before you know it. You're such a tough little guy.

We love you,
Amanda, Ed and Gabi
