MRI NEWS

Well yesterday we travelled up to columbus to children's hospital and Logan had his MIR...The staff there is fantastic....It took 2 attempts to insert the IV and that was the worst part.. The anesthesiologist gave him the good drugs and it took a little while, but then Logan went to sleep. The test lasted about 1 1/2 hours.



We have GREAT news to report... The MRI was negative...no lesions on the brain and no abnormalities with his optic nerve.. We go back to see Dr. Rogers on tuesday and find out where we go from here..



This time next week Logan and I will be flying home to Mississippi...we cant wait

PROFESSIONAL PICTURES

Logan and I went to columbus this weekend while jason was in mobile for Bart and Tarah's wedding...We shopped and had some new pictures made....you can go to www.flashportraits.com and enter our last name to see the pics...They did a great job!!!

We are scheduled to have our MRI done Wednesday at 10am....hoping Logan will fall asleep this time!!!

LOGAN FAILED

Sedation that is....We went up to Columbus on Wednesday and signed in...the nurse asked us lots of questions and then she took us back and put Logan's IV in....He did great, he was screaming from the time we walked into the hospital because he was SO hungry!!! The nurse was wonderful and started giving Logan the medication and he would not go to sleep...they gave him the max dose of drugs they could give him...so we have to go back so the anesthesiologist can use powerful drugs to put our stubborn little boy to sleep.


We also got his glasses this week...he looks like a little professor in them...we have gotten lots of stares...but only because he looks so cute...hope to post some pictures soon..I also noticed a bottom tooth coming in this morning!

MRI Tomorrow

Tomorrow we are going in for the MRI at 4pm....We won't hear anything from the doctor til the next week....Logan can't have anything to eat after 2pm....that should be fun considering he eats all the time...

Here are some recent pictures from the trip home to Mississippi and a picture of Logan with his eye patched....it is getting easier everyday!!

Logan's Eye Appointment

Logan went to see a children's ophthalmologist last week in Columbus......Dr. Dave Rogers was excellent!!!! He told us that Logan has ambylopia (lazy eye) that is affecting the right eye....Jason and I have noticed this since birth...It can be corrected with patching the good eye 2 hours a day and maybe surgery further on down the road. He also said Logan has nystagmus (dancing eyes) and he his very farsighted... We were fitted for glasses and he will start wearing them all the time...

The unsettling news we received is that having ambylopia, nystagmus and being farsighted is sometimes indicative of albinism...This came as a complete shock to us...when I think of albinism I think of very white skin and red eyes...the doctor informed us that there are several types of albinism....so, we are going to have an MRI this Wednesday up at Children's in Columbus and Logan will be put to sleep for this..They are wanting to look at his brain structure and look at his optic nerve and then we will go from there......

It was a pretty rough week and alot of info to take in all at once....The patching is going very well, I am patching his eye in the evening and we are playing and just having a normal routine.....I know he has some sight to that eye because at supper time is mouth is open before the spoon gets there....

On a positive note, Logan turned 6 months old this week.....it is going by way too fast....
