There isn't much new going on except for some progress with getting Logan to try different foods. The day after I posted that he was refusing to try just about anything to eat, he began to try a variety of foods. One morning he had several bites of eggs and oatmeal, then biscuits with gravy the next day and on Friday morning he had bacon. Everything is still in small amounts, but the fact that he is willing to try them is a big improvement. Also, he is getting better at drinking with a straw which requires more coordinated movements than we realize. We keep telling him that he has to work his way up to roast with rice and gravy, so maybe he's trying the less appealing stuff in an effort to get there. Cade and Josh visited on Friday; thanks for making the trip. The schedule will be different next week since he will be having the surgery on Tuesday. We're not sure how long the stay will be at the hospital or what he will be able to do in the days immediately after returning to TIRR. We do know there will be some restrictions on bending past a certain point for several weeks to allow the pump catheter to bind in place. He will be able to continue with therapy and standing should be okay as well. Please continue to keep him in your prayers as he goes into this next surgery.
