At this time of writing, I'm looking out my window at the cold, crisp night. I can hear the wind howling and believe it or not there are snow flakes blowing all around. First ones of the season! I'm nice & toasty warm here in the hospital, however I should bundle up soon & walk back to the RMDH for a proper nights sleep, but for now I'll update this blog & procrastinate to keep me from walking back out into the cold. :)
It's Friday. Four days since we've been admitted and still haven't seen a doctor about Logan. This bothered me. So, being the "take charge" person that I am, I asked a nurse to find someone from the GI team to come speak with me about what is being done with Logan. I feel that it is only fair considering everyday they tell me someone will come speak with me, and yet no one has. Although by now I should really know better then to believe it may actually happen. Imagine my surprise when Dr. Issenman himself, along with the resident Pia, came to see me at 11:30am. They assured me that they have not forgotten about Logan, they are just busy.
Dr. Issenman & the GI team got together at noon today to review all Logan's tests, ultra sounds & x-rays that we've done to make sure that they haven't missed anything. We are still scheduled for pre-op with the anaesthesiologist on Monday, and having the scope done on Wednesday to get a better look at what's going on inside Logan's little body. If the results come back from the ultra sound, x-ray and scope ok and nothing looks abnormal, then we will proceed to looking at other area's. GI will most likely hand us over to Neurology, although at this point there are no guarantee's as to an exact plan of action - it seems to change on a regular basis.
I apologize for not updating you sooner (I know how much you all are eagerly waiting to read the next post!). By the time we figured this all out late in the day, I didn't have time to update because our kiddo's came for a visit. Malachi came running down the hall shouting, "My daddy!!" and Liv wouldn't stop saying "Mum, mum...muuuuuummy!" It was so great to see them for a little bit! We will also be getting them back tomorrow evening to stay for a night at the Ronald McDonald House. We look forward to having our little family together again for a day and night! Unfortunately because its the weekend, we won't be moving forward with Logan until Monday, so it will be the perfect opportunity to have the kids while its quiet & not busy. In the meantime Logan is still on continuous feeds with the ng tube, and is being such a little trooper! He's also become quite the little tv junkie. While other babies are staring at their mobiles & toys, he stares at his tv. Oh Logan! What are we going to do with you?
One more thing you should all know. When we were here last time they were alot more flexible, this time not so much. We're not sure why that is - perhaps because we are in a differnt ward this time? Anyways in this section we do have specific visiting hours from 11am-8pm in our room, but if you want to come at any other time we can always take Logan & meet you in the lounge area. If you want to come for a quick visit, you are more then welcome to, but please just email/call/text us before you do so we can make sure it works. If you do come to visit you come up the red elevators to the third floor and we are in 3c room 8. Any other questions...just ask!!
