LAST DAY IN THE HOSPITAL... HOPEFULLY!!!

We are very hopeful that today Logan will be dismissed from the hospital. His blood transfusion yesterday went well and the doctors are planning on a platelet transfusion today. Yesterday Logan felt well enough to go for walk (with his IV cart in tow) and we visited the lab where they take his blood and tissue samples. He thought that was pretty cool and his dad had fun explaining what all the machines do. Our last few days have been filled with X Box battles on Double Dash Mario Cart... but Logan is still ready to go home. I've been pleasantly surprised by how well he is taking all this. He's just going with the flow... what a trooper!

It's been hard to juggle our parental responsibilities to Logan and Amanda during his hospital stay. Because of Eric and my commitment to never leave Logan alone here, it was a challenge arranging care for Amanda for 4 days. Thank you to those that have stepped in to help by watching Amanda for us. Grandma Gayle was able to drop everything on Thursday and drove to Wichita to help... then after 3 days juggling I asked her to drive Amanda back to KC to stay with our sisters for awhile. She is in heaven... playing with her cousins and enjoying some special attention. This will make our job of taking care of Logan much easier and I'm sure he will enjoy the one-on-one attention as well.

  1. Looks like I have missed a lot over the past few days! I am glad that Logan is feeling a bit better, and I bet that Amanda will have a ball with the fam in KC!! Thanks for the updates!
