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.
