The Liver #2

Yesterday was the day, we had to be at the hospital at 7:00 to check in and have Logan drink something that smelled like grape juice. His actual test wasn't until 10:30, so the poor little guy had to go a long time without eating. His actual last real feed was at 4:30. The test occurred at 10:30 and I handed my precious little boy over to a nurse who said we will come and get you in an hour. An hour later they came out and said he is waking up and we can come and see him. We had to stay at the hospital till 4:30 so he could be observed to make sure he didn't have a reaction to the anastisouse. During this time I was able to visit for a few minutes with my wonderful friend Abby. It was nice to see her in the cafeteria and catch up for a few minutes.
We left the hospital and went to get our kids at my friends house in Beaverton. While Ryan and I ran into the house to grab the kids I left my cell phone in the car. The doctor told me it would take a few days to get the results back, so I didn't even think of grabbing my phone for the five minutes we would be in the house. Well, of course while I was in there the doctor called and left a wonderful message. The liver did not show any signs of cancer spots. It looks like it is doing a wonderful job of regenerating itself. He doesn't need to see us for two weeks. He wants to repeat an ultrasound in a few months, but he was very happy with what he saw. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last night I went back again to feeling like my little guy was just a normal little newborn with a few issues that includes adorable baby acne.
