True to his name...Logan woke up...peeked at us and let out a wonderful little dinosaur groan.I think he was a little frustrated about being restrained and had a little pain. A quick dose of Morphine and he's doing much better. Good call by the nurses or else they would have had a "Godzilla" situation on thier hands. Logazilla?
They are actually taking him off the oxygen mask and moving him to a nasal cannula for oxygen. They have been working towards this all day...so this is great. He's pretty doped up on the Morphine now...but definately awake. He was holding onto Jen's finger a few minutes ago. It's great to see his little eyes.
Heidi...I know you have been waiting for this post! Thanks again to everyone for the great notes. It's wonderful to have the support from all of you that we have!
On a side note...every time one of these alarms goes off in Logan's ICU room becuase somthing just isn't quite right with him...it reminds me of that ding on the Southwest Airlines commercial. "Wanna get away?" Speaking of...Jen asked one of the nurses here when her baby was due. Turns out that the woman isn't pregnant. Uhm...that was an awkward moment to be standing in the middle of! She's gonna kill me for writing about this.

I am so glad to hear he is fine... SEE, if I would have known there was a blog to follow I would have understood it. I keept up to date enough to know to worry, but not enough to know that it wasn't as bad as your post sounded.
ReplyDeleteSorry for my cause of confusion. I felt like royal @ss!
Sending good thoughts...

Just wanted to say hello, Jen Deslaurier sent me your link. I am a heart mom to a now five-year old boy who has had three open-heart surgeries. The first two were at UCSF, so your posts really bring back the memories for me. I'm so glad that Logan is doing well and wanted to also let you know about a support group for parents of kids with CHD. We are called Hearts of Hope and we meet monthly in Sacramento. I hope you'll check us out someday. http://sacheartsofhope.blogspot.com
