Logan and His Black Eye

Zachary & Logan were running through the house with a tennis racket & Zachary stopped while Logan kept running- right into the racket! So, we got a nice little shiner. Hmmm . . . and it's a good thing that I didn't need a group picture the next evening when we had Malachi's 5 months pictures scheduled.


And while it must have been incredibly painful (this is after a couple days and when it was starting to heal), Logan is a trooper with pain and really handles it much better than I would!


Here he is acting incredibly silly! :) He loves the camera. Too bad the one below is a little blurry.

And, while we're on the Logan and pain subject, I'd like to ask for you to continue praying for him. He was still struggling this weekend and when I called our family practice doctor today, they were about out of options as for what we can do, so we are set up to head back to KC. Since Shawn has a BUSY schedule being the only nuc med tech at the hospital right now, there is NO way he can get off, so Logan and I will be headed down to KC for 2 days of appointments.

I'm praying that we can stay positive and hopefully, but honestly, it's starting to be difficult to be positive and it's been taking a toll on me emotionally. It kills me to see Logan in the pain he's in and he is really understanding more about what's going on and starting to verbalize it, such as when he tells me he's bleeding or he needs medicine. He is smart about it and it's more than a 3 year old should have to know or deal with. And, yes, we are VERY grateful that things are not worse than they are. He could be a very sick child with something unimagineable. I do try to remember this, but it's not making it any better to help deal with his issues.

He'd been doing SOOOO much better and this set-back is just hard to take. We're praying diligently that next week (Wednesday & Thursday) we can get answers from the doctors & surgeon and find a solution that will suit Logan best.
