A Long Awaited Update

I am not sure if anyone even really checks this blog anymore, but I am going to post an update for you anyway. I don't have lots of details for you... but I'll give you what I've got!!

Logan is doing well! This past weekend he took his first big road trip while his dad spent the weekend at the Masters tournament in Georgia. NO, he didn't make the trip all the way there! He spent the weekend with Grammy Carol and Grandpa Bob in Dayton. He did really well on the drive down to Dayton, in spite of all the rain. His first big foray into the outside world was at Grammy Carol's favorite stop.. the Goasis for Starbucks! Meghann drove him back to Cleveland on MOnday and he did great once again.

The whole family is now back in Cleveland. THey will be walking (along with some other people) as part of Team Logan for the March of Dimes Walk America. HOpefully Logan will be "participating" that day too... weather permitting. (If you are interested in finding out more about the walk, try this link to Grammy Carol's page: www.marchforbabies.org/Nick5.)

Logan will be traveling back to Dayton on May 3rd for his baptism. He is awaiting his next surgery in early June when he will have his eyes operated on and maybe his last hernia. He will celebrate his first birthday on June 16th!

That's what I've got for now! THanks so much for praying!

A Long Awaited Update!

It has been a long time since an update has been made here and I know a lot of you have been faithfully checking the blog and hoping for news on how Logan, Meghann, and Lance are doing. I don't have as many details as she would, but I got some information and thought I would post it for you so you can have a better idea of how things are going at home!

Logan did indeed come home in early December. He came home with none of the tubes or machines from the hospital! Truly an answered prayer! (Thanks to all of you who faithfully pray!). He has been doing ok but still seemed to be in some pain. He spent Christmas quietly at home with Meg, Lance, and the Bogey (who is glad to finally have everyone home!).

Meg has worked it out with her (wonderful!) employer to work from home most of the time, so although she doesn't always get a lot done, she is home with Logan almost every day.

On January 17th Logan went back to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital for surgery to repair 2 of his hernias. Although there was a lot of concern about his breathing and recovery, he did wonderfully and was released to go home the next morning. He will most likely have another surgery in the summer to repair another hernia (but one that is not causing him trouble right now.).

Since surgery he has been doing very well and eating a lot more. He is getting 2 teeth which has made life interesting... to see a baby so small cutting teeth! He visited the surgeon yesterday for a check up and was found to have none of the issues or problems common to the surgery. He continues to defy the odds!

In the coming weeks Logan will continue his physical therapy (his right side is weaker than his left, but the therapist has plans to help him get stronger!) and continue to eat and grow. He is weighing in at 9 pounds 14 ounces... as his parents like to mention... SO CLOSE to double digits!

Thank you for all of your prayers and support. They are what get the family through these days and they continue to be amazed by God's gifts to them and Logan.

Below is the only digital picture I have of Logan. It was taken as he was getting his coat on to leave the hospital after his surgery.
