A surprise in the mail.....

Yesterday we got the packet from Shriner's in Cincinnati that we've been waiting for since Jan.! We finally now have a date scheduled for Meigan's next surgery, rhinoplasty with cartilage graft from her ear. Doesn't sound pretty, I know, but in layman's terms, the surgeon will be fixing the collapsed part of her nose and basically creating a new nostril and giving her a pretty new nose! It should make a world of a difference for her especially when she is sick since she has always breathed through one nostril.
The date, I almost forgot! She will be admitted on July 30th, (2 days after her 4th birthday), and the surgery is July 31st. They say to plan on a 3-4 day stay. The nice thing about Cincinnati is we will not be far from our travel group friends who live on the Ky. side and my relatives and Scott's family live about 2 hrs. away.
We started our summer off with Logan's surgery and looks like we'll be ending it with Meigan's. This should be it for awhile!
The down side to this though, is for are wonderful friends in Fl.. Looks like we will not be making a trip down there this summer. We're getting hit hard in the gas
tank as are all of us. With an unexpected trip in July now, we'll only be able to travel north instead of south. I was so hoping we could squeeze in a trip back down. I miss you guys!

Happy 11th Birthday, Logan!



After nearly 2 weeks of misery, we are so happy to see that smile on his face again!
And of course a new game for the Wii helped, too!

We're Home!

Logan was released this morning! He's still anemic, but nothing that some liver won't cure! (Ha) Anyway, we're glad that he's home and back on the road to recovery!

Logan update

Just wanted to let you all know that Logan was put back in the hospital last night for some excess bleeding due to his tonsillectomy a week and a half ago. Last night was kinda worrisome in that they were thinking he may have to go back into surgery to repair his throat, but today he seems to be doing better and they took his IV out this afternoon. He will stay 1 more night for observation. His birthday is in 2 days so this was not what he was looking forward to for his birthday:(
Mom and Dad are here so I had a chance to come home and "refresh" before another sleepless night on a hard couch.
