Closed up

Logan had his chest closure procedure done today. He did great. The doctors are all impressed at how well he is tolerating everything. And so are we. He has a wound vacuum over his incision because the skin was too tight to completely close it, the wound vacuum will help it heal and close, but he will need it on for a week or two depending on how quickly he heals. His oxygen levels are in the 80s, which is great! The next step is to wean him off of the breathing machine. He is off the paralytic so we are able to see him move around and he can open his eyes. They are a little wobbly because of the pain medicine but we know he knows we are there. He's got big brown eyes just like big brother and daddy.

We are so happy that this is over with and now we can move on. Every step forward he makes from this point on is a step closer to going home. He will be 2 weeks tomorrow. It's been the longest two weeks of my life. Corbin being here certainly makes the days go by fast, but we are starting to find a rhythm  that works for us all. It's hard, and sometimes stressful, but we are figuring it out. Speaking of Corbin, he finally met his little brother, his future best friend. He didn't really care much, he was more interested in all of the machines and monitors. It was fun though. Soon enough he will figure it out.

So, as of now all is well, he is doing as the doctors expect and isn't causing any trouble. I will update when we hit a new milestone. Thank you all again for all of the support!
