Feeling hopeful...

Logan is feeling much better. His ear infection seems to have healed and though he still has explosive poops, he's not throwing up as much. His weight is heading up and I love it when that happens. He was 9.12 kg (about 20 lbs 1 1/2 oz) this morning. So we're getting really close to the 10 kg mark and his nephrologist said we would talk about his transplant after he hit 9 kg. Well, we're there. I think we would probably like Logan to be closer to 9.5 kg or even closer to 10 kg but it's awesome to see that we're making progress. For so long we seemed to be at a stand still and I really felt like this time would never come. Logan was so frail for a while there and now he is running around and loving life. I can really see the will to live in him now and that makes me happier than anyone could ever know. When your child loses the will to live, it's a scary thing for a parent. I can honestly say it's happened a few times in Logan's life. Everyone says that I'm wrong. But, I'm his mother and I know that it's the truth. There were times when he would have been perfectly content to go on to heaven. Thankfully he is well past that point and is enjoying life. He is full of life. It is such a joy to see him running around and playing with his big brothers. They all have such an awesome time.

We have a nephrology appt on Tuesday. I'm really excited to go and show them how well Logan is walking and to hear more about us getting closer to transplant. Prayers for a donor would be awesome. We're getting very close to a deadline on finding a donor. I know that God has a plan though and I'm doing my best to go with the flow.
