We apologize again for not being as timely with our updates as we try to be. Things get crazy, and Logan definitely puts us through a lot on a daily basis!
Anyway, Logan turned 2 months old on Thursday. We would like to tell you that he is also over 2 pounds...but he is still working toward that goal. He is about 852 grams or 1 pound 14 ounces. He is about 13 and 1/2 inches long, so at least he is growing. Slowly, but he is growing. He is also still off the ventilator. He has been off the vent for 10 days and about 8 hours. We know that because of his size, there is still the possibility he could go back on the vent, but we are praying every day that he doesn't. He is still getting 10.5 mL every 2 hours. His breastmilk is now fortified with Vitamin D, Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorous and a Human Milk Fortifier. It looks similar to the consistency of a strawberry milkshake. We were told on Saturday that he is so low in phosphorous that the calcium is getting drawn out of his bones and he is now at an elevated risk of rickets which is (we think) when the bones become brittle. So everyone has to be much more careful with him so his bones don't fracture. Hopefully his phosphorous levels will start to come up so we don't have to worry about that anymore. He is starting to get his voice. We feel bad because we like tol hear him cry so we always listen to how cute he sounds and let the nurses worry about what's wrong with him! That will have to change when he comes home, but for now, we just appreciate that he has a voice.
Please keep up the prayers. We are amazed every day at what the prayers and love have been able to do for our little boy.
Love to all of you,
Meghann, Lance and Logan
