A Great Day for all 3 Boys!

Logan enjoyed his first school Christmas party today. Preston and I were able to come and celebrate with him. He had fun eating a yummy lunch along with a cookie and hot chocolate. After lunch Logan presented us with the gift he had made. A white frosted ornament with his hand print on it and name. It is now hanging proudly on the top of our Christmas tree. Miss Ashlee Logan's teacher also gave them a bag full of goodies and a Christmas book. Logan really enjoyed himself.

Nathan and Owen are having good days too. Owen was able to started eating again. Hopefully his body will respond well and he be able to continue to eat. Both Owen and Nathan were laying on their tummies while we were there. They both love this position. Also both were on a little lower ventilator settings!! Owen's creatinine levels for the past two days have been 0.6 and 0.8. These are great numbers and we are really excited these levels are down where they need to be. Nathan saw the orthopedic surgeon and he is just going to let him arm/hand continue to heal on its own. There is a great chance that he will need to have some reconstruction done at some point. The highlight of my day yesterday was changing Nathan's diaper!! He was not quite as excited as I was but he enjoyed being dry.

This evening we went to visit them again. Owen responded very well to our singing. Nathan was getting some vibrotherapy (a little vibrator on his lungs which helps break up anything he has in there). I put my finger in and he held on to it really tightly and kept squeezing it. I was also talking to him and he kept looking up with really wide eyes in my direction. It made my heart melt.

Here is Nathan with his eyes open. A family donated nice blankets for every child in the NICU for Christmas. A group of volunteers made stockings for each child too. Here is Nathan's area. Here is Owen's area.Preston spent some time singing to Nathan. Here is sweat Owen. He is all snuggled in so he does not pull everything out.

  3. We are praying for those sweet boys every night. I love reading how they look at you and squeeze your fingers. Praying for more good news as they grow each day.
    What a fun party Logan had at school! We enjoy the pictures.
    I'm also praying for you and your family in the loss of your grandfather. I'm so sorry.
