This past week MIMI and RAY RAY came up to visit us...Logan had a blast to say the least!!! He and MIMI would stroll down to McDonalds for parfaits and treats everyday and had so much fun playing outside...they were hoping to swim, but it has just been a little chilly up here in Ohio...

Logan also experienced his first ER visit...he woke up last thursday about 6am just screaming...I changed his diaper and his privates were just really red and swollen...we went to the hospital and only stayed about an hour and a half...he just has an infection and we are puttting cream on him with every diaper change...he felt much better that afternoon...but I could tell he was in lots of pain..
On Saturday we took Ms Susan and Bubba out to eat....Susan and Bubba are my saving graces up here..They are the ones who watch Logan while I go to work...They are amazing people and we are so luck to have found them..They treat Logan like he is their own, so I know is is well taken care of!

Doctor Visits






The past 3 weeks have been filled with Logan getting his well baby check up and then up to Columbus to see his eye doctor.

Logan now weighs 29 lbs. 6 ozs. and is in the 60th percentile for his height (I forget how tall he is). The doctor is concerned that he is not growing in height as he is in his weight...Logan will be going to Columbus to see a pediatric endocrinologist..He did some blood work, just 3 tubes out of his right arm..but he did great, I cried more than he did (a CBC, thyroid panel, cortisol levels and a BMP) everything came out ok....some of the levels were abnormal , but the docotor assures me that it is ok for his age ranges..(I only called him 3 times concerning the values)..I guess it was he nurse in me coming out!!

I was very disappointed in the last visit to the eye doctor...He could not look in Logan's eyes because it was nap time and he was being a little fussy...HELLO...he is 17 months old and you are a PEDIATRIC eye doctor...He stopped the atropine eye drops that were dilating his left eye...I asked him about surgery and he said it was an option anytime...could have even done it when he was 6 months old....but since Logan was not "cooperating" he could not get measurements of his eye...The doctor has always said we could do surgery when Logan's eye got stronger...
I went home and did some research on the Internet, then consulted an eye doctor I work with at the surgery center...Logan has an eye appointment with Dr. Hertle in Pittsburg in September...He does an eye procedure in which 4 of the eye muscles are cut instead of just 2..he also sees lots of children with ocular albinism...I guess I should have taken him months ago..oh well

Logan is saying all sorts of words these days.....up, nite nite, i dont know, thank you, ball, no-no, if you ask him what his butt says--"pughh" (the babysitter taught him that, but it is pretty cute), his heart says "beat beat", he still loves all types of berries, yogurt, vegetables (I can offer a cookie or a berry and every time he takes the berry, cant believe he is my child), burgers, watermelon, mandarin oranges, he is walking great...he has had a few run-ins with corners and falling, he has some issues with his depth perception.

Hope everyone has a great week...will try to update the blog better!

Happy 4th of July






Hope everyone had a great 4th of July...It was so nice to have a 3 day weekend...but not so nice spending it without Logan....I cant wait til Wednesday to see my little man!!
