Logan's Updates

01/15/2012: Logan has had another long week but is feeling great now. We went in for his lab work on Wednesday worried about his cough and knowing that he was very dehydrated and anemic. He had only a short exam and it was determined that he needed to be admitted for IV hydration, breathing treatments every two hours, x-rays and tests. He stayed in the hospital for two days and although it was exhausting he came out feeling much better. His cough that arrived the day after Christmas is still driving him crazy, but is much much better than it has been. Now that he is off the immunosuppressant kidney medication we are hoping that he has a better chance of recovering. The catch 22 comes with his kidney function, if his kidneys can’t maintain where they are now he will have to go back on the immunosuppressant. We know that the drug has caused his dehydration and stomach problems and suspect that it is also playing into his anemia….so, we wait and see. We’re hoping that his kidneys can hold their own at least long enough for a break from some of the extra meds. Thank you all for the calls and emails. We appreciate you all.

Today we took Logan on a trip downtown on the brand new light rail train, the Tide. It was a nice diversion, he has watched it being built and start running as we go into Norfolk to the Children’s Hospital. It was a nice way for him to be out and about without overexerting himself.
