Hopefully, only one more night...
10:49 PM
Well, one more night in the ICU...I hope. They still wanted to watch him one more night because of his glucose levels and to make sure the new medication for his arrhythmia is working. It is hard to see him doing so well and us not moving forward, but if there is anything I have learned through all of this is that it just takes time...
We had a really nice chat with Logan over webcam today. He is still in Boise with my parents and he is having a great time. I realized how much he has grown up over the past month...and how much I have misses of this stage. I feel so incredibly blessed to have a son that does so well with all this craziness, but It is hard to see how much he has grown up with out me around. I made a vow today that I will never take one moment with any of my kids for granted. Each moment is so precious.

Joshua Kent Ipson was born December 1, 2012 with a very complicated combination of congenital heart defects. After 2 1/2 months of fighting for his life, he passed away on February 13, 2013. We invite you to share our experiences as we grieve his loss, rejoice in God's plan, & keep Joshua's message of hope alive.

Reading your posts makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time. I"m so glad you have your families to help you out with Logan-it helps so much when you have to be with one child, to know that your other child is being loved and cared for by someone you trust so much. I wish there was more I could do for you than just pray, but maybe that's the important thing right now! I hope you are all right, and that you are getting enough sleep. I can't imagine how frustrated you must feel with all this, but you seem to be handling it all with such patience and grace-you are so amazing, Stephanie! Take care of yourself and say hi to Tim, and know you are so loved by so many.
