Well Dad finally did it. He changed a dirty diaper! It wasn't very messy, but nonetheless, it was a poopy diaper! And he did great. He was really hands on with Logan tonight, which I found a bit surprising, but he did very well. He's gonna be a great dad.
We both got to do k-care with Logan tonight. Danny held him for over an hour and he did not need his oxygen turned up. Then I held him for about 15 min. and he did ok, but de-sated towards the end, so we put him back in his bed. Overall he did very well!
They weighed him again tonight and he weighs 3 lbs., 8 oz. So he gained .4 oz from last night. At least he's gaining! They were supposed to measure him as well, but I forgot to ask about those measurements.
The occupational therapist came to see him today and she said his muscles and muscle tone looked pretty good. She said he did have some tremulous movements and jerky movements, but that these were normal for his age. He now has a bendi in his bed to give him some boundaries. I think he will like this. I will post some pictures of this soon. The OT said Logan was "very social" during the assessment and that he was wide awake and active.

Jill & Danny - Logan has really filled out since we saw him a few weeks ago. He is an adorable blessing! He is doing so well. And we know we owe God all of the credit! You two are going to make wonderful parents. We are so proud of you both. You have really handled the situation great. Keep the positive outlook and keep relying on God to do the work! We love you.

HE is AWESOME! I just love that Danny is finally getting to do some Daddy things. He is going to be a great daddy.
Don't be discouraged that he didn't gain more weight. He's making incredible progress!
Love you,
Amanda, Ed and Gabi
Way to go Dad!!!
Logan is a very blessed little boy to have 2 very caring parents. He has to know how much he is loved. Just a little longer and he will be home safe and sound. Congrats, Dad on the diaper duty. There will be many more firsts and I look forward to hearing about each one.
Love, Mom
