Yesterday was a day filled with the kidney and liver doctors. According to the doctors Logan continues to improve and his organs continue to heal. The kidney doc told us that he can for a fact tell us that for the next 10 years his kidneys will function well and he's pretty sure for the next 20 years they will be fine. He wasn't able at this point to tell us past 20 years. I'll take that, let's be honest none of us know what is going to happen to our bodies in the next 20 years.
The liver doc told us that he is only watching one little lab number called the AFP. Basically the AFP shows if there are cancerous cells in the liver when Logan was born his numbers his numbers climbed into the 10,000. The normal number is 0-6. At this time they are at an 11. He is very pleased with this. The only reason he continues to watch it is because of all of the damage done to the liver it forms scar tissue and this tissue can have cancerous cells in it. He of course told us because of worst case scenario.
All in all I couldn't of asked for better visits. The doctors don't want to see us for a year.
Logan continues to be a reminder to me of God's grace. The Lord has spared us so much. Thank you Lord for this wonderful blessing in just a little 20 pound body. I never want to forget the Lord's goodness to our family.
Once I get our computer fixed I will post pictures of Logan on his one year birthday.
