We havent had internet for a while, not sure what happened but I turned the computer on this morning and we're back on.
The days have been quite eventful, with one thing or another.
Day +2 Logans hair started to fall out.He sat in bed pulling it out. It was easier to pull it out rather than let it come out by itself, it was going all through his bed, getting in his mouth and eyes, just messy. He said it was easier than plucking a duck. He still has a little bit of fluff on his head though, and it looks quite a bit lighter. Being bald doesnt phase him too much.
Day +3
We had a little bit of a hickup, his NG tube got blocked so they had to put another one in. Before the new one could go in he had to have another platelet transfusion, he was so low, just in case he bled. Logan pulled the old one out himself.
His weight is up and down all the time. This morning he has lost 2 kgs from the night before, but it will be back up in no time.
Logan has started having something called immunoglobulin. This prevents viral infections and he will have it weekly. It is a blood product.
NG feeds are going back up. Hes at 20ml an hr.
Day +6
Tonight Logan got a fever, and was sick all night. He was given more platelets and had a chest xray. More blood was taken to check for infection and he's been put on another antibiotic just in case.
Next morning we got the results, and he has an infection in his hickman line. The new antibiotic was the correct one, and they wont have to put a new line in.
He is still very feverish this morning but soon all his new drugs will kick in and he will be fine again.
The Doctor could hear a murmer when she did rounds so an Echo has been ordered for him.
Next thing a Cardiologist arrived to have a listen. An Echo will be done this afternoon or first thing tomorrow morning. They think it is just through having a fever.
He is getting looked after very well. Everyone is just awesome especially the nurses.
Good news, this afternoon Logan will be taken off the TPN, his NG feed is up to 60ml. The goal is 70mls an hour.
Hi Guys, Yay for TPN going and NG feeds going up, that is really positive! We laughed at the easier than plucking a duck comparsion, spoken by a true country kid! Hopefully those stem cells are hard at work in your body Logan and producing all the good stuff!

Hi Logan
ReplyDeleteLast night we had a social with Iona, Woodford and Hereworth here in the school gym. It was a Masquerade and there were some really cool masks. I made contact with the teachers up there in Starship about your English learning so they might get onto you about it soon?
I hope you are doing well Logan. The boys are all asking about you - do you want me to give them this link so they can leave some comments?
Be strong young man.
I miss seeing your smiling face.
Sir (Mr Doyle)
Hi Mr Doyle

Say hi to everyone from me
Logan
