The Latest

This is Auntie Kathleen catching you all up on the latest. I just got off the phone with Jenn and she requested that I let you all know what's up. As she stated in the last blog, Logan managed to get that ng tube out again and after meeting with a Dr and talking it over they have decided to let him go without it for a bit. It took some persuasion but he agreed to let Jenn bottle feed Logan 75ml from a bottle every 2 hours. This means that she will have to sleep at the hospital from now on, as the night nurses can't be spending that much time with him. She'll be on a cot and doing all the feeds through out the night. They are going to keep at it for a few days and check out his weight gain. The only concern with this is that it could go great for a bit but because Logan has become "lazy" by using the ng tube, he has to retrain his muscles in his face, throat, stomach ect... to drink from a bottle! It is most likely he will get tired fast. If this isn't going well then they will talk about a g tube but they are hesitant to go this route with a baby under 6 months of age. We will hope and pray that all goes well in the next couple days and maybe we won't have to even discuss that!
They have determined that this is all due to a protein intolerance but to rule out anything further they have sent two more biopsies to Buffalo to check something to do with enzyme's. We praise the Lord that he has revealed this to the staff at Mac and pray for His continued blessings in Logan's life. 
 In the meantime please pray for patience for Jenn and Adam as this road seems to still stretch before them.
