Friday

This morning we woke up in a different place than Logan. He spent the night with his friend, Evan. Evan and Logan spent the night together a few times at our house before we left for China. The boys had a great time together and stayed up laughing and playing (I thought they would need to be a little older, but I was wrong). After picking up Logan we headed to the hospital for a little bit of visitation with Nathan and Owen. Preston and I took turns in the NICU waiting room with Logan reading and playing, while the other one of us went in for a visit. Both boys are doing okay. Owen got a new tube that goes down his throat and into his lungs. It had a mucus plug at the end so we were hoping that was the cause of his need for much more oxygen on his ventilator and his blood/gases being more elevated. As of tonight, it appears a new tube did not do the trick for Owen. He has been put on antibiotics in case he has an infection causing a few of these problems. Please pray God would begin working miraculously in his lungs and he would be able to significantly progressing. Nathan is doing well, but back on the ventilator. He was off for three days but got too tired doing all his breathing on his own. Tonight Preston and I talked to him for a while and his hand squeezed my pinky finger several times. It was awesome!!!
Please also pray for my family. My Grandfather is sick and does not have much more time. Most of the family is up there with him now. Please ask for peace and comfort for my Grandfather and the same for the family he will be leaving behind.
We really appreciate all your prayers. God is hearing and answering them.
