Good afternoon Hayden fans!! Our brave little (or should I say BIG) boy is doing great at Clear Lake Regional’s NICU.
Hayden is up to 4 LBS 1 OZ (double his birth weight) and 16.5 INCHES (2.5 in. longer birth length)!!! He is also receiving a little over 1 oz in formula!!! He is still on nasal prongs and CPAP…when he is able to breath completely on his own-Hayden will begin drinking from a bottle!!! It is important for him to start breathing completely on his own, so please pray for him to overcome this continuous obstacle!
He is still having seizures, and docs are treating them with increased dosages of Phenobarbital. This med is supposed to treat and cure his seizures (due to the Meningitis). Let’s hope and pray that these ugly seizures cease!
On an even greater note, Hayden has not needed a head tap in over a week!!! (He was previously receiving 3 or more a week due to the Hydrocephalus). Instead of the Hydrocephalus resulting from the brain bleeds and needing a shunt (like previously thought)---docs believe it may have been from the meningitis and there is a possibility that he will not need a shunt!!! THIS WOULD BE SOOOOOOO GREAT!!!!!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE continue praying for our little miracle man…the sooner he is better, the sooner he can come home (maybe even in JULY)!!! Lisa and Dustin have been through so much and deserve to have their little boy home with them!
Prayer does work, so please keep it up!!
Thanks and love to all!!

P.s. We are about to begin planning Lisa’s shower (possibly the 2nd SAT. in July)…if you would like to come, and I don’t have your address-please send it to me via e-mail (KDLogan1@yahoo.com) so I can send you an invite!!
