Hi everyone; Kim here! Sorry for no update yesterday. Bill took an early day and played a pool tournament and I caught some dinner out with my Mom and sisters. So where’d we leave off…
We’ve had a couple pretty good days. We’re back to focusing on eating and gaining weight. There was one rough night Thursday evening. A phone call from the hospital at 11:00PM. I had just layed down. Logan has this talent of spewing spit and milk up through his nose instead of his mouth and it caused his numbers to drop. So I get a call about it and that they were going to discontinue feeding him for that evening. I did well at controlling myself because I wanted to come through the phone and strangle the nurse. It’s hard not to question how well they were watching him. But we’re past that now. We’ve talked with the immunologist (sp?) the last couple days. I think Bill mentioned that Logan has a low immune system. Evidently normal children are born with a T-cell count from 3000 to 5000 but Logan’s count is around 1200. The good part of that is that he at least has some so it’s not as bad as it could be. Over time most children recover their immune sytem and by about 2, it’s normal. Today I was told that they hold off on giving him the live vacinations until their T-cell count rises. That’s been about it. Today so far he has eaten more than the minimum they now want him to eat at each feeding and it’s all stayed down. YEAH! Hopefully the scale will start to go up. His scar looks great. Better than mine (no pictures of mine though).
