Love to Logan. He should be
Love to Logan. He should be in recovery by now. Love , Love , Love to him and family. Been through this with my wife. From whats posted all sounds good. Got the word and made the decision this morning and in surgery by 5 p.m. That sounds good. Give Logan a few days and he should be feeling very much better. Donated kidneys work miracles.
Sad to hear he had a rejection episode with a previous transplant. Those can be horrific. I had a friend who went through that and never considered trying another transplant because that episode scarred him so. He did well on dialysis for many years , but that finally wore him down. Nothing easy about dialysis, some do better than others, but it is a steady albeit slow decline in all cases.
A transplant is not a declining processes, truly a miracle if all goes well. So thinking of Logan tonight. Hopefully news will all be good over the next couple days. Not sure why family is thinking a couple months recovery period, but obviously more going on medically. Love, Love , Love

Thanks for the update Andy.
Thanks for the update Andy. Great news! Logan is much on my mind. Having gone through this same thing with my wife, I'm just rooting for him. My wife had been extremely diet restricted for 8 years while on dialysis and I can remember the look of joy on her face when she got to eat her first banana about 3 days after surgery. Precious snapshot in my brain. Anything with Potassium is a no no for kidney dialysis patients. 6y7;'/ I'm so hoping no setbacks for Logan with this transplant. Each day will just get better and better.

Such good news. I'm very happy to hear his new room has a spare bed for Mom. Staff tends to be a little more diligent when a family member is in the room. Also family can ask the questions or pass on information if a patient happens to be sleeping or some such thing.
Always better to have a family advocate in the room. Medical staff has taken a big hit with this 3 plus years of Covid. They are short staffed and been living very stressed lives. Thank God things have calmed down, but the cumulative effect of Covid has been pretty big. Give staff lots of love, but don't be intimidated to ask questions of things not clearly understood. You go Logan.

Great news and great pic.
Great news and great pic. Thanks so much for posting the pic. I didn't realize Logan was so young. Obviously this lad has been through a lot of tough times in his life. I really hope this transplant is a major change on the medical front and he can get back to a life not revolving around medical issues. He looks great. I see he still has a central line. Hopefully that will be coming out soon. I'm rooting for you Logan and will continue to think great things for you.

Great news and great updates. I had no idea he was this young too. Painful to see kids dealing with medical challenges. Hoping he's fully back to being a kid soon.

Logan was out in yard playing and the other kids are like "why you here. You don't look sick. Where are your wires, etc???" So funny.
