Please pray for this family.

We've had some generous people in our lives and we continue to be greatful. I am probably one of the people that sees it the least, but I know the Lord keeps blessing Logen and our family. I am posting parts of the following obituary b/c this family is asking that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Logen's Medical Fund. The thing is, this family has never met our precious Logen. Connie works for a company that Adam has delievered to frequently over the last 5 years. She has asked about Logen and stayed informed through Adam. So, it just goes to show- there are some amazing people out there. So, please- keep this family in your prayers. What a blessing they are to us.

Logen's Blog Is Up!

There's not much there... but I'm slowly working on it! I forgot how much work was involved in the blog start up. I can't remember how to do any of the basic set up stuff!

Logen Man Update

Logen is doing pretty good. He's not limping very much anymore. He will beable to swim (and resume pool therapy- his favorite form of therapy!) by the end of this week. He pulled his bandage off last week and his surgical site was still a little bloody and swollen so I just put a bandaide back on it. (There's a facebook picture on my mobile uploads).

We have seen an increase in seizures in the last month.

It's re-eval time again (OT). Speech was in May. PT is soon as well. On our IEP no progress was made during the school year. He has lost skills in OT as well as Speech in our private therapy evals. Just asking for prayers here. We are also strongly considering a change in schools. This was discussed in the last IEP meeting due to several injuries (quite a few unexplained ones) Logen came home with. All of this is another post in itself.

We won't have results from the skin or muscle biops for about 3 months. They will send the CSF results and the RMR results at the same time.

Dr. Shoffner sent me the clinic notes from the appointment and I will post the "important" ones soon.

I'm playing catch up on homework now (well, avoiding it actually).

Thank you all for the continued prayers.

Logen has been released! Doc told us to spend one more night in Atlanta in case any complications come up!

LOGEN IS OUT OF SURGERY!! He will be in recovery for a minimum of 2.5 hours.

Log was taken back around 920 (its 1000 now). He was a bit upset about me laying him down. They said it'd take about an hour and a half. Say prayers!

Logen was happy when we got to the hosp, but as soon as we put the arm band on he figured out we were up to no good. He's now very mad at us!

Waiting to meet w Logen's surgeon. Our last appt was a lot to take in. Keep our family in your prayers, please. Thanks!

Went back to hosp to meet w/ surgery APN. Now we are going to meet with the Neurogeneticist! Its the BIG appt!!!!

Off to our 2nd appt- Resting Metabolic Rate Testing. Logen has had to fast since 1am. He's a thristy/hungry toot!

Waiting at our 1st appt of the day- meeting with the anesthesia team.
