Baby Steps
Just a quick update on the “baby steps” that Logan has made so far . . .
♥ He’s now drinking 10 cc’s of milk every 3 hours!!
♥ He’s passed 2 triglyceride tests so the doctors have been able to keep his lipids (IV fats) going. Until now, his liver hasn’t been able to process the fats so he’s had a high triglyceride level . . . whenever that happens, they either have to cut back on his dose or stop the IV drip completely. They haven’t had to do either of those since last week!!
♥ He’s much more tolerant of his environment. He used to be extra sensitive to light & sounds . . . he still prefers a quieter home, but he deals with the light much better than he used to. He no longer needs to be blanketed in complete darkness!
♥ He’s much more comfortable with touch. In the past, we could only put our hand on his stomach or back. If we stroked his skin or patted his back, he would flinch & get startled . . . now, he loves both of those things! In fact, he gets nice & sleepy when we rub his forehead! :o)
