He has the surgery today and will be released later tonight... I am waiting on news since everyone is at the hospital waiting no one is online.
It is a very treatable condition but he is extremely lucky to be alive. Must people do die from it when it is unknown that they have it... If they hadn't started CPR right away and the police officer having the AED brought him back.
Here's the news on the little girl who helped save him

Logan will be back to getting into trouble with his 2 bros soon... and picking on his 4 sisters ;)

More bad news... Logans surgery was canceled because his heart stopped again. After some more test they found another defect "Left Coronary Artery Ostial Atresia" from what I can tell from the research it is very rare and most of the kids that servive are under 5 years old.
The Dr's and family are trying to decide what to do... surgery=life and no surgery=:tissue: They should know by Wed so more prayers are needed!
-
That's awful!! Isn't there something they can do to repair both problems?? I have him in my thoughts.
-
They are talking to the Dr's today... waiting on news!
The family wants the surgery but the hospital staff is afraid of doing it and not being paid. The parents resently changed insurance because the old one was to costly for a family of 9... Stay at home mom and a dad who works 80hr weeks... The new insurance started a week before the incident and they are refusing to cover the bills... so far a 1wk stay, possible open heart surgery, meds, room, extended stay, and all the after care.
One good side is Logan has a big family and everyone is fund raising. Even his aunts and uncles are willing to take loans on their homes to pay for it.
There will be starting a donation link soon. I will post it if anyone wants to help by sending a little.

If anyone is on Facebook they have a "Logan The Warrior" fan page... with pictures and updates!

Logan's surgery has been set for today... He will be having open chest surgery which will include inserting a defibrillator at 9:30 today. The entire time from prep to surgery completion will be between 4 to 6 hours. I will try to update everyone after he surgery is completed.
Please pray for Logan today!

I will be thinking positive thoughts for Logan today!!! I hope everything goes well and he gets all fixed up.
-
Please someone tell me that 5hrs into surgery is good... they said 4-6 but I am getting a little worried!
