A TENTATIVE DISCHARGE DATE!!!

Well the doctor said that as long as everything goes as planned we are going home on Wednesday!!!! I almost did a backflip when the nurse told me. I actually just hugged her instead!

He will be going home on oxygen and that equipment will be there tomorrow morning, so I have to be at the hospital early tomorrow to learn how to use all of it. He will also be going home on his diuretics, which I already knew. The doctor is not going to send him home with a monitor, but I bought something similar at Babies R Us today for when he is sleeping. This is for everyone's sanity.

I really want to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and kind comments on my blog. I don't think anyone will ever know how much they all truly mean to me. Right now, due to Logan's chronic lung condition, the doctor has suggested that he have no visitors. He is at very high risk of developing colds, the flu, and other respiratory problems. Come spring, he will be able to be around more people, but for fall and winter, he pretty much needs to be secluded as much as possible. Thank you. And I will post again tomorrow after I get updated on his equipment. Oh yea, and he passed his car seat test! He sat in it for 3 hours this afternoon. He looked kinda small in it!

Way to go Logan--I am so happy to hear you are going home. You are such a blessing, and I have enjoyed watching you grow. You have such a great Mommy & Daddy, it will be fun at home with them. Tell Mommy to keep those pictures coming, so we can watch you grow over the winter!!

Praise God!!! I think everyone will understand staying away is the best thing for him. No one wants to see Logan back in the hospital. But don't be surprised if you have to remind them.

We are so happy for your family, there are not words!! Logan is such a blessing to us all and to know that he will be right where he belongs-- at home with Mom and Dad-- is so comforting.

I haven't been able to check on the blog as much because we're out of power still in Houston. I've been in such withdrawal and hanging by a thread knowing that he was so close to being discharged.

We continue to pray for his health, strength and all of God's blessings for this amazing little man. We love you, Logan!

Amanda, Ed and Gabriella

I meant to write Have him home. I am bad about leaving words out. My fingers do not type as fast as my mind is thinking them.

Congratulations Danny & Jill!
Now the fun can really begin. It's hard to believe but he will be crawling around your house before you know it.

We can't wait to see the little guy. Keep the pictures coming so we can watch him grow. We look forward to the day he gets to visit all the other kid-o-s at church! I'm sure Baby Gus & Kalli will be eager to play with him :-)

Try to get some rest & we'll see you soon!
