Ok, ok

Sorry everyone! I know I haven't posted much lately, but I have been very busy. There also isn't too much to report. Logan is doing fine. He was placed on a gentler diuretic for the next 4-5 days to eliminate any excess fluid from his body. He was also put on a reflux medication. He is not throwing or spitting up, but the doctor thinks that maybe he is having some unseen reflux issues and that this may be causing him to breathe a little harder and faster. We will see if this helps. The doctor also ordered blood work for this morning and everything looked fine. His blood gas looked good and so did his electrolytes.

He is doing fairly well with his feedings. If he takes too many feedings in a row by bottle, he gets tired and usually doesn't take the whole thing. But if they do every other feeding by bottle, he will drink the entire thing. So it will just take time for him to build up enough stamina to bottle feed every time. He is holding steady on his oxygen at 1.5 liters of flow and anywhere from 25-30% oxygen. I hope they can get him off of oxygen by the time he goes home, but we will see when that time comes. I will just be patient and pray that God continues to watch over him and help him grow.

Tonight he weighed 4 lbs., 5.8 oz. Woohoo! Look at him go.
