Logan had to overcome yet again another surgery. A few days ago Logan had the surgery the hemotologist had been wanting to put off as long as possibe; a tonsillectomy. Many precautions were made by all the doctors involved to make sure that his surgery was a success. We can thankfully say that it was. Prior to the surgery (30 minutes to be exact) he had to be given a blood infusion to help clot his blood during the surgery. The blood was specifically processed to contain only the factor/protein that Logan's blood is missing. Once the surgery began within 30 minutes the second medication to help with the coagulation was administered. This medication we are still giving him 4 times a day for 2 weeks. Once the surgery was over he was wheeled to his room and the recovery began. As of today Logan is doing exceptionally well. Next we will follow up with the ENT post surgery and to determine how we need to treat the polyps found inside his sinus cavity. If these go left untreated then we will be back in the same boat with his sinuses closed.
We are very thankful that this surgery was such a huge success and he is doing so well.
