March for Babies 2009

Marching for Babies was a huge success again this year. Thank you all for your support. We look forward to next year!

Update

Logan recently went to see an Endocronologist regarding the VERY to little growth that had taken place during the past 10 months. Blood work came back fine, but the bone x-ray showed that his bone age is 2 years 8 months. That is almost a full year behind his actual age. During the past about 2 months Logan has also been complaining of a headache 3-4 times a week in a localized spot on his forhead. Once we discussed the headaches and their location along with his bone age the doctor decided that it would be best to have an MRI performed. We are looking to see if he has a tumor on his pituitary gland. May 18th we are scheduled for the MRI and results should be back within that week (I hope).

First T-ball game

Padres vs. Pirates

Well, Logan finally was able to play in his first t-ball game on Saturday. He had such a great time playing ball and trying to fight off the temptation of playing in the dirt throughout the entire game (which was unsuccessful). We can't wait until next week's game.

Easter 09

Here are a few pictures from Easter. Logan had a wonderful Easter this year. We hope you all had a very blessed Easter.

First t-ball practice

Logan had his first t-ball practice Monday night. All afternoon he was asking when we were going to t-ball practice. The entire hour was quite humorous. He was the first one to pick flowers and was easily sidetracked by all the cars driving by. There is lots of practicing that needs to take place, but he loves the game so far. I think he is even more excited that Carson is on his team. You will see in the pictures that he has many facial expressions as he plays. This Saturday is our first game, so we will see how this goes. Keep your fingers crossed!

Brochoscopy

Well....the dreaded day is finally over. Today Logan had the much anticipated brochoscopy. I know you are probably wondering what in the world this is. Logan's pulmonologist went down into his lungs to check out the anatomy and takes some samples of the cilia hairs. The preliminary results showed that the cilia hairs were active, which is a good sign that he does not have primary ciliary dyskinesia. We will know definitely in about a week when the lab results return. There is still a chance that Logan has bronchiectasis (another lung dysfunction), but we are going to just watch and see if any more signs present themselves. At this time they are treating him as an odd case with chronic sinus infections and severe asthma. Logan is actually doing really well this afternoon. He is playing and enjoying being at home. Thanks to you all that have kept us in your thoughts and prayers.

Here are some pictures from today. Logan had a wonderful nurse, as you will see in the pictures. The biggest problem was the wrist i.d. bands. They have always been an issue that we have faced.

Past 3 Weeks

Well, our past 3 weeks have been challenging. Logan has been battling his asthma and fever over the last 3 weeks. We have been to the doctor 2 times (but talked to them many more times) and made a visit to the ER. He has been battling the "rhinovirus" they think with a horrible asthma flare up. Logan has been on steroids and his breathing treatment with little improvement within this time. Every 3-6 hours we are having to administer a breathing treatment daily (for 3 weeks now). One day he could barely make it to 2 1/2 hours before needing another treatment. After many phone calls and doctors telling me "keep doing what you are doing," I am fed up. On Friday I talked with his asthma doctor a decision was made. The next step to help Logan out will be for us to see a Pulmonologist in a few weeks. At this point his asthma is not under control so we need to see this lung specialist. Hopefully this doctor will be able to give us some answers and steps to take in order to help Logan feel better. The poor kid is so use to being sick that all of this is not phasing him. He goes on with his day and takes his treatments like a trooper. Tony & I are hopeful that this is the best step to take.
