Good Morning Everyone!

Good Morning everyone!  We are back at the ICU with Logan.  He had a good night here.  The team worked hard to re-inflate his right lung.  They took some X-Ray's and it looks great now.

They are taking him off the drug that keeps him from moving around.  Hopefully he will do well and then be able to take the breathing tube out this morning. 

Logan looks swollen mostly.  He has a bunch of tubes coming out of him...but Jen and I both agree that he looks better than either of us had expected.  He's a little shy...so once he recovers more...then we will post some more pics.  Jen and I were able to get some sleep last night and feel much more rested today.  It feels like a great day!

Logasaurus Roll Anyone?

If you are in San Fran and looking for a good Logasaurus roll...then you have to try Godzilla Sushi.

Jen and I took a walk around the neighborhood and came across this place.  Great Sushi and an excellent Logasaurus roll!

Not sure what a Logasaurus roll is?  You will have to ask Logan to bring you here and try it yourself.

LOGAN UPDATE

Hi everyone!  Thanks to all of you for the calls and emails...and especially the prayers.  Logan is in the ICU and still doing pretty well.  The latest is that he has a partially collapsed right lung.  It's the upper lobe on the right lung that is collapsed a bit.  The ICU staff says that this is not abnormal to see.  They are working hard on him to make sure he is stable and to get that lobe inflated and working properly again.

It seems like this has been the longest day of our lives and we are totally exhausted.  We are back at the RMH and going to get a bite to eat and try to catch up on some sleep.  The ICU promises to call us no matter what time if something serious develops with Logan.  Otherwise we will be back there first light...provided we can actually sleep.

Please keep him in your prayers as he has some challenges ahead the next few days to recover.  Logan is definately known down at the hospital as doing things on his terms...and the entire staff totally adores him!

The Logasaurus is out of surgery and in the ICU!

Logan is out of surgery and doing well in ICU!  He is heavily sedated and given a drug to keep him paralyzed so that he cannot remove his breathing tube.

We haven't yet spoken with his surgeon becuase he had another surgery immediately following Logan's.  From what we have been told so far though...everything went well during surgery.

As we get some more info we will update later.  Just wanted everyone to know he is out and doing well in ICU.  He is still on a breathing tube and will be on it at least until tomorrow.

UPDATE

Quick Update!  Julie the most woderful Nurse Coordinator in the world just stopped by and said that Logan's surgeon just called her from the O.R. and everything is going wonderfully!  It will still be a few more hours....but things are going great!

Logan is in Surgery!

Logan is in surgery.  We took him down to the O.R. at about 6:40 am.  We did some paperwork...pretty much those releases that you never want to have to sign...but have to anyways.

The head of Anesthesiology and the head of E.N.T. both came in and assured us that they would be able to get Logan intubated properly this morning.  They actually wanted us to wait there for about 20 minutes until it was completed and they could let us know that he was indeed intubated.  Sure enough...they came out and told us that he was fine and things were going perfectly!  That was a load off our minds.

Now we are in the waiting area (the fish room) again and praying that all is going well for the little Logasaurus.  Please keep your prayers coming.  Will keep you posted as we hear anything.

Going Bananas!

We got checked in and to our room.  They had to run some tests on Logan today and put an IV in his hand.  He wasn't too thrilled with any of it.  The staff decided he might be more cooperative with a sedative...and they were right!

They completed the tests and got to take a nap this afternoon.  Sure wish I could crawl in bed with him and snuggle with him right now.  Jen and I are holding up pretty well.  I was able to get us checked in at the Ronald McDonald house and just got back to the hospital a little while ago.

This picture is a bit deceiving...right now Jen is pacing up and down the halls with Logan in her arms desperately trying to get the Logasaurus to calm down.  Looks like it worked...she just walked back into the room and he is quiet in her arms now.  I think we have a long night ahead of us.  His surgery is first thing in the morning.
