Hayden, Mom, and Grandma came home Saturday from Texas Children's after a 9 day stay resulting from shunt surgery. Hayden is feeling much better to be at home!! He has another brain scan on Friday, Oct. 31st (Mommy's 25th B-Day) to make sure the new shunt is draining the fluid from his right AND left side. If the fluid is not draining properly from his left side, Docs will do immediate surgery (to go in with a camera and bust all of Hayden's cysts).
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray that the shunt is working properly and that he will not have to undergo MORE surgeries, especially on his Mommy's birthday =( Hayden has been through SO MANY surgeries, he deserves to be at home! As you may guess, another surgery will result in an extended stay at the hospital again.
If you have a minute, call or text Lisa with a few words of encouragement as this is an extremely stressful and tiring time for her. She is having to feed little Hayden every hour and a half from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. (and at 4:30 a.m.) because he lost so much weight in the hospital. She is ALSO starting her new part-time job tomorrow (Thanks SO much to Uncle Glen and Rachel)...so Lisa will need lots of support and love!!
I would REALLY love to get together with you guys and do something special for Lisa and Hayden to just honor them for being the strongest and toughest Mother and son duo of all times...does anyone have any ideas? Please E-mail me if you have any ideas!! KDLogan1@yahoo.com
Thanks so much and love to everyone!

Hayden's shunt surgery
SUCH a trooper!
SOOOO tired!
Don't come near me with that needle!
Me, Mommy and Uncle J!
Hello everyone. Mr. Hayden has had an extremely busy weekend! Lisa and Grandma took Hayden to his usual Dr. appt at Texas Children's on Friday. He was immediately taken into surgery because his shunt was blocked in two separate spots and was not draining the fluids from his brain.
Surgery went well, and his old shunt was removed and replaced with a skinnier and longer one. He was recovering well and hoped to come home Sunday afternoon.
Unfortunately, Hayden became sick. After a couple days of not keeping food down and other ailing symptoms, Hayden's IVs were replaced (8 times) and is currently under the doctor's watchful eye. There is a possibility Hayden will need another surgery and more procedures soon, but nothing will be known for the next couple of days.
Doctors told Lisa and my Mom (who is staying with Lisa at Texas Children's) to prepare to be there until at least Friday. They have their own room with Hayden in there as well. Lisa and Grandma are taking care of him while the Doctors only treat him medically.
Please pray for our little man and his family, as it is an extremely stressful and scary time right now. I think everyone can vouch and agree that Lisa definitely deserves a medal for Mother of the CENTURY!! What a loving, strong, and beautiful person/Mother she is.
On a GREAT GREAT GREAT note..........Scans of Hayden's brain confirms what doctors said was impossible: Hayden's brain is GROWING!!! Shows what the determination of a loving mother can do!! We all knew Hayden was going to prove those know-it-all doctors wrong!
We all love you big boy and are praying for your recovery!!
P.s. Please, if you can, visit Hayden, Lisa, and our Mother as they sit all day in their tiny hospital room with visits from Daddy, Grandpa, Aunt Sara, Aunt Krystal, Uncle Jerm and cousin Kaylee. I know they would LOVE LOVE to see family and friends' smiling faces!!! The number to their room is (832) 826-1008...it goes directly to them.
Also, please pray for our Mema as she is too recovering from surgery!
