All of us....Recovering


Thought I would drop another pic of his favorite TShirt...

We got home on Monday night and have been trying to catch up on life after being gone for a week.

Logan is doing pretty well.  He has definately been having some issues of non-stop crying spells for a bit.  Not sure if it's pain or if it's just his system getting used to food and flushing out things.  Overall he seems to be good though.  He gets the stitches taken out on Friday of this week from where the drain tubes were in his abdomen.  Thought about cutting them out myself...but opted to let the pro's do it instead.

Madison is happy to be back home.  She has been a little under the weather and we think she has allergies.  Kind of hard to believe that a small child would have allergies...but something is definately going on with her and everything we looked up points to allergies.  She gave us a rough time last night up every 30 minutes (Yawn).

Jen is hanging in there the best that she can.  She is the ultimate mother and partner!  She takes care of the twins every day & night...helps me with work constantly and somehow keeps our household in order.  I have no idea how she does it all.  I do think it's totally getting to her and she really needs a break.  Wish I had the answers, but we just keep taking it one day at a time and know that as long as we have each other and our family, all will be ok.

I have been stressed out to the max.  There is some huge pressure lifted now that we made it through Logan's surgery.  I did wake up this morning and could feel that every muscle (and I use that term loosly) in my body was tense.  I think that with everything we have going on right now, it has really taken a toll.  Hopefully the next few days will prove productive and by the weekend I can start to unwind a bit.  I still don't think I have completely processed that Logan's heart is fixed and that he will be ok.  I catch myself thinking about what a strong little boy Logan is and how he went through that like a champ. 

We want to thank everyone for following along and offering support in the many different ways that you all have!  It's wonderful to have so many good friends!  We are going to keep up this blog with updates on how Logan is recovering and some insight on how we are coping as a family.  We were reading another blog about someone's child that had TOF surgery last night and they had a question about how to deal with when your child asks about his/her scar.  We saw all kinds of responses where other kids dealt with it in many different ways.  A whole new thing we hadn't even thought about.  We are just glad he is ok...and we can deal with the other stuff.  Sorry for the ramble.  Will update more between now and over the weekend.
