Good-morning! This is Jenn writing. We've moved about 4 different times before getting our permanent room for awhile. The E.R.was insanely busy & loud, at one point I remember so many monitors beeping while the nurses we're asking who's was all going off, "Who's ISN'T beeping? replied one nurse! With a big smile on her face our nurse Natalie said - Logan's isn't, he's so good! Logan only slept 2 hours max in the first 24 hrs we were here. He is a trooper though - as long as we fed him when he was hungry, he was pretty darn happy! I think mom & dad had a harder time with the lack of sleep then Logan did!! At 1am Friday morning we overheard our nurse say "Guys, I have a special place in my heart for Logan, we have to get him a room with a closed door so they can turn the lights off & get some sleep". Imagine how blessed we felt that so many people here love him & are trying to accomodate for him! Really, it makes us laugh how everywhere we go in this hospital the doctors & nurses, cleaning staff, OT's, dieticians, receptionists, etc know who Logan Linde is. Its sad in a way because it means we've been here for too long, but in another way its nice to "have connections" and to have made friends with all these people. They don't even need to see Adam or myself, they see Logan and remember exactly who he is! We love that he is loved. We are in good hands here.
We are finally settled in nicely in our "new" room. I was trying to be thankful to have a room but really, this was the crappiest room in the hospital according to our child life specialist. We are in a room with 3 other patients and they are only divided by curtains, except that we don't have curtains! Ours are missing, so our room is wide open. We also are the only people without a t.v. because when we turned ours on it sparked and it's toast now. Of coarse this would happen to us! You may think, so what, no big deal, we don't need a t.v.! But you see, my husband, bless is heart, doesn't sit well in hospitals (or anywhere for that matter!). He gets ancy & bored way too quickly with nothing to do. We only have the laptop so it's hard to share that with 2 people, we can only talk so much while here together and we've both finished reading a book already! So basically I'm saying that while I'm thankful he is with me, he is driving me crazy. I spoke with our child life specialist Laura, and she wheeled in a flat screen t.v. for him to play video games on (ya know the ones that the kids usually get?), she agreed that we needed something to keep him occupied. So as I sit here and type, he's already trying to get to the next level of whatever he is playing on the play station. Laura is amazing, she also got maintenance to find some curtains to rehang for us for some privacy and we have TWO comfy chairs, one for each of us. Like I said, make friends and you will get a little further! And I will say at least I have a window view so I can pretend to enjoy the beautiful spring like weather we are having today - it feels good to have the sun shining in!!
We also got a room at the RMDH again. Adam can sleep just about anywhere, and I have a harder time with that so he graciously let me go get some sleep in our room and he stayed here at the hospital. We finally both got some much needed sleep & we are ready to start a new day!{"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24} We will be going for Logan's ultra-sound soon and that will confirm weather he will be getting surgery for the pyloric stenosis or for the g-tube. Thankful that we will have our answers this weekend! Although we've gone down this road of questioning the pyloris before, we are PRAYING that this is IT this time as it would actually be a "fix" for Logan and not a "band-aid" like the g-tube would be. I hope to blog tonight about how our day goes and hopefully we'll have some answers to tell you all by then! Please keep us in your prayers today that all goes well, and that the Lord grants the doctors insight & wisdom to make decisions on what to do for him. How comforting it is to know that though we love Logan with all our hearts, the Lord loves him even more & is holding him in His Hands!
