More weight, more changes

Well Logan now weighs 5 lbs., 5.9 oz. He's just packing on the weight! He is also 18 1/4 inches long. His head circumference is up 1 cm and his chest circumference is up 3 cm. So he is growing appropriately.

They pulled his feeding tube last night and he has taken all of his feedings since!! He doesn't always want to eat, but he does anyway, for now. Please pray that he will continue with his bottle feedings.

The doctor stopped Logan's caffeine today. He has to go at least a week off of caffeine with no bradycardia (dips in his heartrate) before he can leave the hospital. They have also been turning his oxygen off some today. He does fine with it for awhile and then when he is in a deep sleep, he needs a little bubble of oxygen back on. We are not exactly sure yet if he will need to come home on the oxygen. Please pray that he will let the oxygen go before he comes home.

Oh, and he did poop yesterday on his own (3 times), so if he was constipated I think that might be over! He has been pretty gassy lately, and Grandpa enjoyed that, just ask him!

Logan is doing so well!! He is such a good boy. I'm sure he hears that often. We will pray that he will continue to do well with his feedings and that he will wean completly off of his oxygen. We will also pray that this will be Logans last full week at the hospital. You have so much to be thankful for God has truly blessed your family. We will pray for the other babies in the NICU as well. We are so excited and happy for You, Danny and Logan to come home soon. Tell Logan to save some of that poop for Dad!

Love you all!!
Luke, Leslie, Taylor and Addalyn
