Logan had such a great day today. This morning he had his Cardiologist Appt and everything looks great his saturation's are in the mid 80's which is good for Logan. Dr Acherman decided to wait until March to do his Heart Cath (Fenestration Closure) Because everything looks so great. He did take him off of the Coumadin, the chances of having a Blood Clot are less, since it has been a few months since his Surgery. When he goes in to do the Fenestration Closure he will put him back on the Coumadin. So for now he will be on one tab of 81mg Aspirin once a day.

We came home and Logan had Therapy his two favorite people came over Michelle his D.S. and Nora his P.T. Nora brought over a different kind of stander much better than the last one and Logan just loved it, he was in it for about half hour and an hour later he wanted to go back in it :)

So Nora let us borrow it until we get ours in a few weeks.

Tonight for Dinner I ordered out we had Pizza Hut and you will not believe me when I tell you this but Logan ate 1 1/2 slices of pizza and they were not small slices, Richard and I could not believe our eyes after the first slice he said MORE. Since he had so much to eat by mouth we were not sure how much to feed him by G-Tube so we just gave him 3 1/2 oz. We wanted to make sure he kept everything in and he did. I just put him to bed and he went out like a light.

All in all he had a really good day today, we are just so excited at how well he ate today by mouth :)

Oh also I finally got Logan's hair cut the other day he looks just like a little man....

Logan loves to type on the computer

MMMMM carrots

Logan had his two week check up with the pediatrician just to make sure his ear infection is gone, everything looks good there is still a little fluid in his left ear and he still has a cough but the Doctor says it is nothing to worry about. The cough should go away in about a week or so, I hope because he has had it for 3 weeks now. His lungs are clear so that is a good sign.

We headed on over to my Mom's house to spend the day over there and Logan just had a great time with his Nana, he fell asleep on her for about an hour and she was loving every moment of that. Why can't that boy fall asleep on me like that.

Over the past couple of weeks Logan has really started to enjoy food, he is eating more of what I give him. He will really eat anything you give him but in small amounts not enough to really count as calories to wear we can start giving him less by G-Tube but I think we are heading in the right direction though. The other night I made Beef Stew so I cut up some carrots and he went to town, he really loved them. He also loves peas, he also likes to snack on Gold fish, teddy grahams, cookies. He really likes chicken. The other day he ate a half cup of peas which I thought was huge for him. He is getting to the point were he really likes food. So every chance I get I am feeding him by mouth, his chewing is not 100 % but we are working on that. As long as you give him very small bites he will eat anything I even tried Tomatoes and he ate that. I am just so proud of him he is slowly making strides in eating by mouth.

Tomorrow we see the Cardiologist for an Echo, EKG and Coumadin Levels checked. I am thinking this is when he will schedule his Heart Cath. He will need to go back to the Hospital next month to have the Fenestration Closure.

The girls are doing good they have one more week of school left before there two week Christmas break. Next Wednesday is Parent Teacher Conference so there will be no school.

The girls are needing extra help in Math so I enrolled them in Computer Lab it is after school from 3:30-4:30 and today was there first day. They said they loved it and really enjoyed it and look forward to going back tomorrow after school. I was like who are you and were are my kids :)

What a day, we got to the Hospital at 11am and everything went smoothly like it always does. As soon as we got into a room Logan starts to cry a little so My Mom was entertaining him and making him laugh I got some really cute pictures of him, He was such a good boy saying Hi to all of the Nurses and smiling he even got to ride in a tykes car and he loved it, going back and forth. Finally around 1:30 they put a mask over his face for sedation then they put in an IV he was back there for an hour he did very good. When it was time for me to see him was a different story, oh he was mad at me kicking and screaming and thrashing around. We were able to leave at 3:15 and of course he fell asleep on the way home.

I will be calling the Doctor in the morning to set up a time to find out the results which should be in a few weeks.

I was just so surprised at Logan and how he acted today being all nice to the Nurses and everything he was such a big boy. Sitting in his crib and trying to stand up, he would kneel on his knees and try so hard to stand up I was just in ahhhh. All of the pictures were taken before the MRI.

Thanks for checking in on our little man.

What a nice and relaxing weekend we are having, Saturday our Neighbors son had a Birthday Party at the Skating Rink and the girls had such a great time. At first Elizabeth did not want to go because neither of them know how to skate but when we got there they had a blast I just told them to hug the wall and you will do just fine and they did, it took about a half hour before Alicia would let go and she did good falling alot but no broken bones. Elizabeth hugged the wall the entire time because she was still unsure but they both did so good. Richard was a very brave soul and also put on a pair of roller skates and got out there, he never fell but did not go very fast. There was no way you were getting me out there. I just snapped lots of pictures. The girls are wanting to go back again and we told them in a few weeks. They are also wanting to have there Birthday Party there next year in June :) My mom came over to watch Logan so we could all go. Thanks MOM :)

Today the girls have been playing at there friends house and they are finally home, Richard has been watching Football all day. We rented some movies and in a little bit we are going to watch Imagine That with Eddie Murphy it looks really cute.

I have been cancelling Logan's Therapy for the past 3 weeks because of his cold. He just cannot get rid of his cough, he goes in for a check up at the end of the week to make sure his ear infection is gone.

Tuesday Logan will be going to the Hospital for an MRI of the Brain, The Neurologist wants to make sure everything is OK. We check in at 11am and they start at 1pm. They no longer do Oral Sedation so he will have to have an IV that is why we are having to go in so early. I will post Tuesday night on how his MRI went.

OK So I was about to post and I went to check on the girls and they both fell asleep, Alicia sitting up while she was watching football and Elizabeth fell asleep on the floor next to Logan. I could not resist to take the picture and post them :) They will hate me later.

My sick baby watching Yo Gabba Gabba

I keep on forgetting to mention every time I post that Logan is wanting to pull up from a sitting position, he will grab on to the couch and pull up on his knees and try to stand of course he cannot but he is trying so hard he will get on his knees and try try try...

The other day I stood him up against the wall and he held on the wall for a few seconds I tried to get him to do it again so I could take a picture but he would not, So I will keep trying. We should be getting a stander pretty soon.

Also since Logan has not been feeling well he is on Antibiotics and he is having Diarrhea 2-3 times a day and I am having to change his pants 2-3 times a day, I cannot wait until this goes away I am doing Laundry all day long...

I took Elizabeth to the Doctors this morning she had a follow up with her E.N.T and she also had a hearing test done she has them every year. Lately she has been having a hard time hearing but everything tested out fine. He said he wants her tested for A.P.D. Auditory Processing Disorder, He thinks she might have it. I Googled it and it fits her to a tee. So I called the school, I go in tomorrow to meet with the Nurse to get everything started.

Logan is taking a nap and Elizabeth is doing her homework (14 pages), I kept her home from school today because it was not worth it to take her back because of the way the appointment fell. I better get off this Computer and get some Laundry done before I have to leave to pick up Alicia from school. Thanks for checking in on our family.

We all had a really nice Thanksgiving we spent it over at my Mom's house with my Aunt, Uncle, Cousin and her Husband. I brought my camera but forgot to take pictures :(

Friday we spent all day Pulling up the plants in the front yard everything was over grown and looked gross. Then we replanted, we still have to order some rocks and put that in the front yard and everything will look really nice and of course I forgot to do a before and after photo.

Saturday was a fun day Richard put up lights on the outside of the house while I decorated the inside. Sunday we just sat around the house and enjoyed each others company and rested for the new week.

Logan is still sick his ears are still draining from his ear infection and he still has a croupy cough. I have been cancelling all of his Therapy and I hope he gets to feeling better soon I just hate it when they are sick. And his Eczema is getting really bad on his hand and Thumb from sucking I am having to lather a couple of times a day.

The girls are doing really good still a little congestion but they are great and so ready for Christmas to come. Can you believe I am almost done with my Christmas shopping I have two more things to get. Because of Richard's pay cut there will not be much this year but that is OK because we have each other :)

The girls were able to go back to school on Tuesday, they are doing much better they still are congested but the fever is gone. I took all the kids to the Doctors this morning to have there second dose of the H1N1 shot and the Flu shot. Logan and Elizabeth are the ones who got the flu shot they did not have enough doses of the flu shot so Elizabeth got it instead of Alicia because of her Asthma.
I did find out this morning that Logan has a double ear infection and because of his Heart the Doctor still wanted to give him the Swine and flu shot so he will be starting his Antibiotics on Friday they put him on Omnicef for the ears and also gave all the kids Cough medicine.

I am very thankful the kids are getting better. I have alot to be Thankful for this year. My Son is alive and his Heart is doing great. I have the sweetest girls on earth they are so caring for there brother and help out Mommy when ever they can. I am also Thankful for My husband and all he does for our family and he makes so many sacrifices for us and I am thankful that he still has a job and we have a new home.

I also cannot forget all my Blogger Heart mom's and Friends and Family for all your support through out the year. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.
