cLeVeLaNd cLiNiC BOUND.....

Status of Logan (as of today):  Logan is on a couple medications for his 'seizures'.  We are unsure if he is truly having seizures.  His doctors are split on whether he is or not.  He is also on a ventilator to assist him if he has any episodes of 'apnea' or oxygen problems.  The doctors are unsure of what is apnea and what is not.  Today we have had no episodes so far!!  He was started on an antibiotic Sunday for a possible respiratory infection from his ventilator.  The doctors are unsure if he has an infection or not.  The NG (nasogastric) tube to his small intestines is still in for feedings which he is tolerating well. Summary of medications:  phenobarbital for seizures, dilantin for seizures, pyridoxine (vitamin B6) for seizures, ativan as needed for seizures, pepcid for GERD, and 2 antibiotics for possible infections.  

This was taken at Strong Memorial Hospital when Logan was a few weeks old.

We just received word that Logan has been accepted to Cleveland Clinic's neurology department.  We are so excited to have new input to his care.  While we have loved most of the nurses and a few doctors from Strong Memorial Hospital, we were not getting answers and out little Logan needs the best!! So, tomorrow morning Logan will be going by Life-Flight to Cleveland Clinic.  We are hopeful for answers to our beautiful little puzzle.
