Little Trooper

Logan has done great for the last couple of days. After having to go 17 hours yesterday without food and then another 24 hrs after surgery, he had enough and was not too impressed. I can't say I blame him. Logan spent ALOT of time with snuggles and doped up on morphine & tylenol, as that's the only way we could get him to sleep when he was hungry or in pain. Just ask one of my aunts about this - within a minute or 2 of having morphine Logan became dead weight and was lost in a dream. I was so lucky enough to have 3 of my dad's sisters come to visit today & help keep Logan happy. Thanks aunt Mary, aunt Jess & aunt Amanda (as well as my cousins Shalyn & Cameron!) for keeping me company today! We are so proud of how well Logan did, despite how crappy he probably felt he still managed to smile that beautiful smile. Finally at 5pm today he was able to start feeding through the gtube, yay! So far so good, but he is on a continuous feed which has never made him vomit any other time. We'll keep him this way for tonight so he can adjust and tomorrow will be the true test when we start him feeding on bolus feeds (bigger volumes, every 3 hours). Fingers crossed he keeps it all in!!

 

Here's some photo's of the last 2 days...

 

Munching on his fingers as usual, wiating for surgery.

 He was pretty hungry by this point...

Mom's turn to shed some tears & enjoy the last few snuggles of my sweet

sleeping boy before heading down to the O.R.

 

Hey, who stopped the ride??

 

Day 1 post surgery - drugged up on meds & just started feeding again.

Still Smiling!! LIFE.IS.GOOD.
