Logey had a drs appt on Thurs. It went really well. He was 14 1/2 lbs (6.6 kg). Dr A was very content with his weight gain and said to just keep up the good work and do whatever we were doing that was making him gain weight. : ) So, for now, nursing is in the clear. For 2 1/2 weeks he's been getting 1 tbsp of protein powder a night per dr's orders because dialysis depletes protein and his levels were really low. He also said that once he hits 7 kg (about 1 more lb) that he will start on the paper work to get Logan on the UNOs list. The sooner he gets on the list the better since it's about a year wait. Thank God for dialysis. At first, it seems to scary and foreign but once you get used to it, it's not so bad. And, it saves his life so really, who can complain about that, you know? Hopefully Vidal or some other family member will be a match, but, if we can't find one, at least we know we're going on the list soon! He has an appt on the 7th so I'm really hoping he'll be 7 kg by then. Grow Logey grow! We have about a year left (hopefully) on dialysis until he's about 18 months and 10 kg. We still have a long road ahead of us but this seems like such a great milestone.

This is his "corner" the blood pressure machine and dialysis machine are in the back.
