Dave, Thanks
Copied this from the trader family page we can move this back to that thread if it makes more sense too:
Dorsey Alexander Logan is doing fine in recovery after his heart surgery yesterday at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus Ohio. Just talked to Stacy she and Dave are very relieved! They had to sedate him a little more to keep him still today. His blood pressure is good and all indicators are that the surgery was a success. Now to wean him off the oxygen and get that darn tube out of his throat. Plus about four other things: like reconnect his lower intestine, take care of the hernias and remove his gall bladder. Did I mention that his ribs were broken on his back and his left femur leg bone was broke too. Dorsey was born Sept 18 2008 and weighed 2 lb 12 oz. he is now at about 6.5 lb. Might have to just go bust him out of there! We talk about crosses to bear this kid got enough for a whole darn family!

Sugarmaker,
Poor little tyke!!
He must be a trooper!!!
He'll be out there helping you (or trying) before you know it!!
When my grandson was 4 years old, we almost lost him to meninjitis, so I know what your going through.
He's my right hand man now when he comes to visit.
Naw, I'd say leave it right here, where it belongs.
Really glad things are coming along for you and your family!!!
We'll keep praying!!!
Keep us posted.

Chris,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I am sure Dorsey will come thru this with flying colors.It is amazing how resealant kids are. My son, who you met when i bought the pick-up tank from you. Had to have 4 pieces of his skull removed when he was four months old. He is now 24 and is receiving he's Masters deg. in Conservation Biology the of this month.And they thought he would be mentally retarded. Now if that wont give you hope nothing will. God Bless your family

Dave,
Dorsey Is doing much better today and is now off the vent. They still have a little oxygen in his nose but trying to wean him off that too. Also the meds are being backed off at the same time so he is much more awake and starting to get a little voice back too. Stacy sent us a really nice cute picture of him smiling today. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Its working!

Regards,
Chris

Dave,
Dorsey has had a good week. He is off most of the meds and is letting everyone know he is around since he got the vent tube out. Stacy said he may have the colon reattachment operation within the next week or two. That is very good news too. She also said he is awake a lot and laughing and smiling some too. He is back in the ICU but in a big boys crib. They are a little concerned that he has not gained much weight. He is still about 6.5 lb. I think he need some maple syrup!
Regards,
Chris
