Oh what a day!

Things are looking up! Logan was taken off his PCA completely, he no longer needs Zofran, and his steroids are down to 6. Soon he won't need the insulin and he should get off the IV blood pressure meds. Then he will only need to take them orally and a have a patch. It has been a wonderful day for Logan. He has been playing and watching TV. He loves playing with his Toy Story toys, he could play with them for hours. It seems like we have Logan back, he has been smiling and talking all day! And he isn't screaming at the nurses anymore.. :)

Today was also a little bit sad. We lost someone on the floor. Three kids have passed away since we have been here. My heart goes out to those families. The nurses said it doesn't happen very often, but these past couple of weeks have been a little depressing on the floor.

On Sunday all Logan wanted to do was sleep and was super grumpy. I told his nurse and they thought that maybe he wasn't getting into a deep enough sleep at night. That night they gave him some Adavan. He slept all night long and didn't wake until about 8 the next morning. On Monday, though, all he wanted to do was sleep again. He could barely keep his eyes open. I thought that maybe he was getting to much methadone and his nurse and doctors agreed and lowered his dose. It has made such a big difference.

I am so excited, we are going to be out of here soon!
