Transplant Day +18 - Evening Edition

I forgot to touch wood!  That will teach me.


Minutes after the last post things changed again... Logan's stomach cramps got much worse.  Whilst dealing with them in the usual way in the bathroom, he suddenly vomited (copiously) and unfortunately threw up his nasal gastric tube... do not keep reading this paragraph if squeemish... On walking into the bathroom at his yelp, I discovered him vomiting with half the tube out his nose still, and the other end out his mouth... he was choking on it... I did what all good mothers should do and PANICKED! Hitting the emergency button, brought staff running, but by the time they got there, Logan had efficiently removed the tube from his nose and threaded it out of his mouth... YUCK!


Squeemish people may continue to read now...


I have to say tho, Logan looks lovely without his nose tube, and his face has thinned down heaps... resembling the boy we knew a short time ago... wont be long till he's back to normal again... touch wood.


Anyhoo... it has gone from bad to worse this evening... his cramps and diarrhea have become worse again, so they have said water only... he was particularly pissed about this as he could probably eat without the tube in there.  Then, at 8pm, they discovered he has a 38.3 temp... which is not good... and quite random as well, as he has neutraphils... so they are taking it again in an hour.  I have sent Evan back to RMcD house as Logan needs to rest, and that requires lights out.  I can but hope that Logan gets some sleep tonight... for both our sakes.


Charlee dropped by, but couldn't come in as she has a cold.  She brought Logan her special quilt which she received from Canteen, which is made of Canteen scarves, and also the promised mail.  It turned out, as I thought, to be from Meg, Nig, Dom and Jesse... They sent cool cards, drawings, chocolate and loads of humour... The envelope was covered in writing that made us smile... I could just picture Meg saying exactly what she had written... Thanks for the love guys...


Thanks for the SKYPE Yvonne and Paul... we love to chat... and thanks for understanding that Logan only had the energy to say hi and bye...


Well the doc has just been in again.. they are going to keep a close eye on Logan over night. They have stopped most of his meds that are given orally, and also the one they give him to make him pee, as they don't want him to dehydrate... One day at a time me thinks.  


Sleep well my friends...
We hope to...


Tracy and the Logster!
