Nov. 20th

                     There isn't much to talk about since the last update. His doctors are still making adjustments to his medications and hoping to see more activity on the right side. This is an excruciatingly slow process involving a good deal of trial and error with no guaranteed outcomes. There are many more questions than there are answers when a brain injury of this severity is involved. Basically, we go in every day and try to engage Logan in any  way we possibly can; we talk, play movies he likes, or sometimes just do things to irritate him into responding (the speech pathologist is good at that). While waiting for any cognitive improvements that might come along, the ocupational therapist and the physical therapist do what they can to help keep Logan's body in as good a condition as possible. They take him to the gym or a therapy room every day for two sessions that last about an hour each. During those two sessions he is sat down, stood up, stretch out, and turned every which way but loose. He's usually pretty tired when they're done with him. So, that's the drill each day along with a whole lot of waiting.

thank you for the update.  With all of the unknowns the one thing that is certain is that Logan has a huge number of people on his side who are praying for him and supporting him.  

PS We appreciate the birthday card for Elle, and so does she.....she looked at it a whole 30 seconds before deciding to taste it!
