Logan had his pacemaker placement Wednesday afternoon and it is working great. He was transferred out of the PICU today and had his chest tubes and temporary pacer wires removed. After surgery he was dependent on the external pacemaker, I wasn't even allowed to hold him for fear it would become disconnected. They had to use restraints for his own saftey, he pulled out some lines with his feet the first night even with the restraints. I had to sit right next to him and try to deter him and comfort him, if I was there he could have a little more freedom. I felt so bad, he must have thought he landed in an even worse orphanage than before. Now we are both enjoying that he can be held and move around more. We hope to be discharged this weekend, it will be so good to be home! Cody has done well with all that has been going on and has been very busy with Dad and his sisters. He found the hospital very interesting and really enjoyed the peds playroom.

Am so glad to hear that Logan is doing so well. Your comment about having landed in a worse orphanage bought tears to my eyes, so glad you were able to stay with him! Get well soon Logan!
This is the best news ever! I knew God had bigger plans for Logan!! I'm very happy for all of you. Cody is so sweet, what a little trooper!

I hope he is home now and in his own bed, praying daily for his recovery.
