***UPDATE***

Logan is doing good right now, Since he has been off the Vent he is very mad and kicking he even tried to get up once while I was there. He no longer has a fever and his heart rate is back to normal around 140's. He is on half liter of Oxygen and sating around 85. They do have him on alot of drugs and antibiotics. He was getting 20cc's of pedialyte every hour, but around 1pm he started gagging so they stopped that. And around 5pm they started him back on pedialyte 20cc's every hour.

Because of the Fontan heart surgery they had to do a certain procedure I talked about it earlier and I found out the name of it, it is called a Fenestrated Fontan Operation if you google it, it will tell you all about it.

My mom dropped off the girls at the hospital for me and while she was there she tried to love on him and I thought for sure once he saw Nana he would be happy, but all he did was throw a fit and boy was he mad.

Also they have put Logan on a very strict Low Fat diet, because of the kind of surgery he had they do not want him taking in alot of fat at once. This special diet will last about 6 weeks and he will be on Pediasure with fiber along with Polycose.

He still has 3 chest tubes draining and an arterial line in his neck. I did take a couple of photos but covered up his chest.

The Dealership is finally going to give us a loaner to drive around while they figure out what is wrong with our car. I had to go to upper management to make this happen.

Thank you so much for all your prayers.

I'm so glad they were able to give you a car... I can't believe they didn't offer one in the first place?!?!!!

Despite the tears, Logan looks great! There doesn't seem to be any swelling, which is wonderful! Vaeh swelled like a balloon with her first 2 surgeries, but finally with the 3rd she didn't swell a bit! His color looks good, too!

Praying he continues to improve & is home soon!

He looks really really good! Can't blame the poor guy for feeling yucky. He'll be feeling better in no time! Keep lovin' on him!

Continuing to pray for you all!!! xo
