Holding Baby Logan...


I was released today from LDS and went straight to baby Logan. He had decided that he was done with the C-pap machine and pulled it out on his own. The nurses tend to watch babies when they do that to see how well he could breath on his own. He was breathing on his own for about two hours before he started to stress. He was then put on nasal cannula to assist him as he needs it. He is one step away from breathing on his own which is a great blessing.

The best part of the day was the nurse allowed me to hold Logan for the first time. We were there when they were repositioning him and changing his diaper. The nurse allowed me to hold little Logan on my chest for the first time. Chad and I were able to hold him outside of his incubator. That was one of the best moments ever. He is so tiny! He has a lot of weight to gain and needs to regulate his temperature on his own. He will be working hard at that over the next several weeks.
