UPDATE FROM NANA! "Hi TC...
Beth just called.
The baby weighs 7 lb. 15 oz. 1 ounce short of 8 lbs!!! And he's 19 1/2" long. So he's growing, but I doubt that he will make the 9 lbs. that the ped. wanted him to weigh when he goes in for his appointment there on the 24th. He's going to have to eat a lot of cereal to get there if he does!
He has done really good on his oxygen sat rate. He's at 92%, and was at 86 the last time (if I remember correctly). As soon as he is at 94%, they will begin to start weaning him off of the canula and maybe at last his poor little nose will get some rest. Thank heaven for the o2, but the inside of his nose stays irritated because of the canula. Of course, our baby does give himself a rest every once in a while by pulling it out himself!! LOL
He got another round of the synagsis shot for RSV and so tonight his little legs will be sore. Really necessary for him to have these though to protect him from RSV. With his lungs, Logan would be in a world of hurt if he contracted that respitory bug.
He stays on the monitor for now, and his medicine for reflux has again been increased due to his weight gain. He is handling his soy formula well. Once in a while he "upchucks" it, but then all babies puke!! We are just so acutely aware of anything that Logan does because of all of his past problems.
Once again.... Logan takes giant strides. He handled his "vacation" including the 3+ hour car ride like a champ. He has visited the seacoast of Texas and smelled the salt air. Now he has again gained well in his oxygen sat rate and is on his way to hopefully being canula free by Christmas time. Wouldn't that be a gift from God to add to the ones He has already bestowed on Logan..... and on us?? And of course, he steadly gains weight.
The miracle continues..... and in such a positive way. Logan is showing signs of wanting to hold his bottle. He can now hold on to his "binkie" and sucks it with all of his might. That truly is is best friend besides his mommy!
Soon he will meet Aunti N from California and hopefully get a visit from Uncle TC when he's finished with this well. 2 people who have been insturmental in all of the prayers that have been said for the Termite. There's gonna be lots of hugs and kisses going on very soon I would think :) And Logan will respond with those big beautiful eyes. He always seems to understand and lets you know he does by the look in his eyes.
Prayers continue to be answered for this little one. Praise God.... and amen."

YOU GO, TERMITE!

Logan was 1 lb 9.4 oz when he was born.
The baby weighs 7 lb. 15 oz. 1 ounce short of 8 lbs!!!That's an increase of over 4 times it's own weight! Time for some Stacker 2 - no?
(Beautiful baby, BTW...)

To: TexasCowboy; Brad's Gramma; Texas Termite
My family keeps asking me what I want for Christmas, other than teaching materials, and Care packages for the troops I have not had an answer for them.
Now I know what I will ask for.. I will ask everyone I know to pray that Logan will be able to take that darn canula out once and for all!
Prayers for Logan to be healthy , and have no further need for that pesty little tube in his nose.
My son hates that thing, and I have to struggle with him to wear it for a short time. Logan is a trooper to put up with it for so long!
God bless you Logan, Beth , Bud , Nana , TC and Brad's Gramma. I am praying for a bountiful Thanksgiving and joyful Christmas for all of you!
Thank you for sharing Logan with us.. his life is a blessing to me and my family.
P.S. Hey little Logan.. I knew you could do it! I hope your little legs dont hurt too much tonight.. shots can be ouchy, but it won't last forever....Don't forget to give your Mommy, Daddy and Nana lots of snugs and hugs. Please give big kisses and silly smiles to TC and Brad's Gramma when you see them. They sure do love you.

TC, I really love this baby. Apparently, I'm probably not going to be a grandma because of weird complications in my two kids' lives. Nuts! So I hold Logan close to my heart, even dream about him. Can I be an honorary gran? I'd be honored if you'd put me on that lonnnnnnnng list. LOL.
I pray every day for Logan, also for Faith.
To: Texas Termite; TexasCowboy; Brad's Gramma; All
Hi lil one!
Thank You for letting us know you are stll getting better and bigger!
And Thanks to you for letting Uncle TC post some more pics.
And WOO HOO soon Brad's Gramma will visit with you.
(tell her why the doggie keeps shrinking) hehehe
Most of all TT, Thank You, your mommy, daddy and Nana
for sharing your miracle with us.
Someday you will realize just how much you helped All of us.
I've mentioned several times that God does indeed have a Special Plan for you.
And as time moves on you will know what it is.
You will find the answer in prayer, in yourheart and in your soul.
BUT for now, just be happy!
Smile, laugh, play, eat, sleep and start all over again!
Make your family smile and laugh with you.
I sure do love you Logan!
God loves you and so do we.
