Our Baby is finally home

Richard is reading Logan Yo Gabba Gabba
Book Kathy bought him, he just loves it.


Before we were discharged, Logan was so happy
to be leaving.


Yes can you believe it, I cannot. We walk into his room this morning and we are told we can take him home today, I was like are you sure it is not to soon and they said nope he is doing so good, other then throwing up all of his feed which is normal.
So we are finally home and his tummy and feet are still a little swollen but he is doing great. I just can't believe he was only in there for 6 days. He is having a hard time though he is in pain and hurts him to sit up or scoot around so Richard has been holding him and we just put him in his chair so he can play with some toys, he really can't do anything I feel so bad for him.
They sent him home on some meds Enalapril which they upped his does to 5.0ml I was like wow that is alot but his blood pressure has been really high and since his Iron is low they have him on 1.2ml and Coumadin for six months until he goes in for his heart cath to remove the Fenistration then he will be on Aspirin.
Thursday he goes in for his COAG Studies (blood work) this is to measure to see if he is taking enough Coumadin. Then next week we follow up with the Heart Surgeon.

We will also be getting home health care for Logan to make sure no fluid gets in his lungs and he heals properly.
Since Logan could not keep in any of his Pediasure they were giving him they just decided to put him back on his normal feed Nutrin Jr with Fiber and forget about the Low Fat Diet.
Oh and we also got our car back today it turned out to be the Brake switch was blowing all the fuses so we also get our money back that we paid 4 weeks ago we are so excited.
We are having a couple of problems with the FHA loan but everything is getting worked out, I swear to you they want to know every single detail of your life. I cannot wait until it is over.

Thanks so much for all of your prayers and checking in on Logan we love you all. Karen

He looks SO happy.

You KNOW that I had to buy Isaac that same book...and he just eats it. Not interested at all at looking at any pictures. (I don't even think that he recognizes the pictures)

and your car..WOW...what a week. The house is closing, the car is fixed, Logan's heart is fixed....sit back and relax!

Yay! I can't believe your already home. Just amazes me when these kids go home so quickly. Hope you all get to relax.

WOO HOO!!! How awesome is that?!

He looks like nothing has happened!! So comfy sitting on Dad's lap reading... how great is that?!

Not to mention getting money back - sounds like you're having a great week! Hope it stays that way! Give him hugs from us!

PS - I hope they do the finger prick to check his INR. That's what they did for me when I was on coumadin... so much nicer than a blood draw every time:0)

HOME!!! How wonderful! Logan looks like he couldn't be happier to ditch that place. I can't believe how quickly you guys got out of there...again, wonderful!

Everything is falling into place for you guys. Soon you'll have your feet up in your new home, with a fixed baby and fixed car, sipping wine and wondering where all your problems went. :)

Love on that little boy for me!! xo
