Logan's Lump Continued

Unfortunately, Logan's lump didn't get better as previously thought by his doctors (see prior posting). We were home for two days when we noticed it getting bigger. So, off to Children's Hospital in Seattle we went. They had a lot of trouble getting his IV started. It took them over ten pokes in almost 24 hours to get it. After that was taken care of, everything went smoothly. He had surgery Friday afternoon to remove a large abscess in his neck. He was back in his room two hours later and back to his usual energetic playful self. You would have never known anything was wrong had it not been for the giant bandage on his neck!

Logan's Lump

Logan spent four days in the hospital over this past weekend for a swollen lymph node in his neck. He woke up last Wednesday morning with this hard lump on the right side of his neck. We stayed home on oral antibiotics until Friday morning, without any changes, the doctors wanted to try IV antibiotics. After four days of IV antibiotics, and slight improvement, we came back home. They think it is going to take awhile for his neck to get back to normal size and the lump to go away. He was pretty good through the whole experience, mostly happy the whole time. We are happy to be back home, and will be even happier when his lump goes away!

Paige and the flowerpots

This is Paige proudly examining our flowerpots.

I am not sure what I did when taking the picture with the coloring,

but I thought it turned out neat anyway!

She loves helping take care of and water the flowers.
She is quite proud of how well they are growing!
