Logan's Heroes in his time of need

Donation protected
Logan joined our family on May 5th, 2015. Shortly after, we learned that his oxygen wasn't circulating properly and the pediatrician concluded that Logan had a narrowing in his aorta and sent Logan to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri as we anticipated heart surgery. We quickly picked up our daughter and made the three and a half hour drive to Kansas City where we stayed for 12 days. Since Ian didn't have vacation time by that point, he went two weeks without pay. Upon arrival, we were told that the problem wasn't his aorta but a partially collapsed lung. Doctors were able to correct the problem without issue. Though, we were later told that Logan had a biscupid aortic valve: two leaflets instead of three. This wouldn't give him a problem until he was older but we still have that to deal with. A few days in, Logan experienced a rapid spike in his heart rate multiple times. He was diagnosed with a condition called S.V.T. that would require medication four times a day for at least a year. With each update, I didn't think my heart could break any more yet things kept coming. 
We returned home from Kansas City on Monday night only to have Logan start throwing up profusely on Wednesday continuing into Thursday. By Thursday of that week we were admitted to the hospital in Lyons, Kansas. By Friday, we were transfers to our second NICU within a week down in Wichita, KS. When I called my mom to tell her we had arrived, she asked what hospital we were at. I honestly didn't know and had to ask.  Logan was diagnosed with Pyloric Stenosis: a narrowing of a tube going from your stomach into the intestines not allowing the food to pass through. Logan went into surgery on Memorial Day which corrected the problem. Logan and I we're there five days.
It's been a long road and a hard adjustment for our small family. We received prayers from all over and more support than we could have ever imagined. But, we know that because of multiple hospitals and two NICU stays, the bills will be more than we can manage.
We hate to ask for help but hope that someone can take a moment to help our family. Thanks.
