A first for Dad

Well Dad got to hold Logan today! Unfortunately, it only lasted about 1/2 an hour because Logan was de-sating quite a bit. Come to find out as they were putting him back into his bed, he had pooped while laying with Dad! The nurse figured this was probably why he was de-sating so much with Dad. Then of course when they changed him and put him back into bed, he was fine and did not de-sat anymore. Dad also got out of changing the poopy diaper, the nurse was too easy on him!

In other news, Logan is doing well with his feedings and they are increasing him to 27 ccs every 3 hours. They are also going to try and stop the diuretic that he is getting. This flushes fluid out of his system. His carbon dioxide level was back up a bit to 49, but the doctor was ok with this and said that Logan looked good and did not appear to be working too hard to breathe. So he will stay on the nasal cannula (for now)!

Also, I know many people have been asking about little Jayden, Logan's neighbor. I found out he got moved to an isolation unit as he contracted a Staph infection. He also had to have surgery to remove fluid on his brain. He then developed a lung infection and is still on the ventilator. Please pray for this family. I cannot begin to imagine what they are going through. Also, just now, Logan is getting another neighbor from a Decatur hospital. He/she is very sick and is going to have to go on the oscillating ventilator. We got kicked out of the nursery, just as the new baby was arriving. Please pray for this little baby too. Thank you everyone. I feel very lucky today that our little guy is doing so well and that God answered all of our prayers.
