We apologize for the lack of updates since we have been home. We have been very busy enjoying Logan at home, going to dr. appointments and trying to get into a routine with him. For the first week he seemed pretty content except for some rough spots that seemed to be gas related. We had our first visit to his pediatrician and his first cardiologist checkup. Nothing new from either dr but they are going to keep a close eye on things since we will be visiting each of them once a week of a while.

On Wed we went to the Shriner’s hospital in Tampa to talk about getting his club feet fixed. After waiting 2 hours to seem them we talked to someone, then had x-rays taken, then had casts put on. We were a little shocked since we were just expecting a consult but both figured it was better to start this process sooner than later. So now we get to vivst them each week too. Each week they will stretch his feet a little further and put on new casts. After 5-6 weeks his feet should be straight but probably point too far down. Then they will do a little procedure involving cutting heel tendon which will let his foot sit in the correct position. Then they will cast some more while that heals. We get 3 more weeks of the casts then 3 months of wearing a brace 24/7 that can only be remove for baths. Once the 3 months is up then the brace must only be worn during bedtime & naps for 3 years.

The casts have added another level of frustration for all of us. It makes Logan more difficult to hold & change diapers. It also makes him really mad since he cannot move his legs like he was. This has caused some rough nights where he lets us no how unhappy he is every 20 minutes. Hopefully he will learn to accept them and calm down soon.
