Well Logan has had another good day! He tolerated me holding him for a little over an hour today with only a few episodes of de-sating and no episodes of his heartrate dropping! Mom, Dad, and Lauren got to sit in the room with me. This was the first time they had seen him out of his isolette. He was wide awake for the first 15 min. or so and then he went to sleep. He did so well and I'm very proud of him.
His blood gas was fairly good this morning. His carbon dioxide level was 50, which is up 1 from 3 or 4 days ago. The doctors like it to stay under 55. He will get another one tomorrow as well as a complete blood workup. He has had some eye gunk lately and they tested it for an eye infection. It came back negative, but he may have a blocked tear duct.
The nurse weighed him last night and he weighed 3lbs. 5.3 oz. He will get weighed again tonight. The nurse said that when babies hit 3 1/2 lbs. they really start to put on weight. She also said that once they hit 4 lbs. or so, they can begin to maintain their own body temp. Then they can move into an open crib. Hopefully Logan will be able to do this in 10 days or so.
He was quite a mover today in his bed. The nurse said that first he got himself sideways in the bed, and then he completely turned around in the bed, with his head at the opposite end then it normally is! What a little mover. He is definitely getting more active.

Jill, Glad to hear he is still doing so well. With all his moving, it just goes to show how much they move inside of us. Tell him to keep up the good work.

Sounds like Logan has had a really good weekend. He is so adorable. I'm so glad to hear that he is putting on the weight. I'm sure you and Danny are enjoying holding him. Keep up the good work Logan.
Always in our thoughts and prayers,
Crytal, Brad, and Vickie
