Keeping busy

We have been staying busy with work, school, and clinic visits. At the last chemo appointment, they increased all of Logan's medications since he has grown. Because of this, they wanted to check his blood levels at the half-way point instead of waiting the full month. We went in last week and his numbers look good. They are considerably down from two weeks ago, but that is good. His ANC was 1900 which is closer to the range that they like to see. Overall, Logan has been feeling pretty good and he has not had any major headaches since finishing the steroids for the month. That was a relief.

Logan is still enjoying school, but does complain that it makes him tired. I think it is good he gets two afternoons a week at Cathy's for some extra rest, even though it leads to not going to sleep as quickly those nights. He has also been enjoying soccer on Saturdays again. Last weekend we went to a party given by Peach's Neet Feet all about spreading kindness through art and doing for others. It was a great afternoon and we even got to meet Peach. This is the same organization that painted Logan's custom shoes right after he was diagnosed. It really is a great non-profit with an amazing message.

I had Friday off, so I took the kids to see a movie. As you can tell, Logan is really excited about the new Avengers moving coming out this week:

Smoother sailing

I know it has been a long time since I updated, so sorry if this is long. Logan did get over the croup from last month, though it took longer than usual. He had chemo which went pretty smooth, but then had another migraine. It seems to be happening about a week after the steroids, but also coincides with a change in barometric pressure. That time, I took him into the clinic, but they did not have many answers for us. We are just keeping an eye on it and hoping it does not happen too often. Once he was healthy enough to go, he had a dentist appointment to fill a tooth. It seems that the chemo may be weakening his teeth a bit, but he was such a trooper for the whole process with no crying or anything. We then had Spring Break, and got to spend some relaxing time with family. It was great to get back to Oklahoma and see family, and it was the first time we have gone back since Logan's diagnosis.

After break, it was back to normal, and back to school. We had a fun Easter, and spent lots of time outside hunting for eggs and just playing in the nice weather. The kids had a ball! Logan had chemo last week with a spinal tap. He struggled in the morning with hunger and was really grumpy. After his labs came back, they found out that his blood sugar was pretty low, so that explained why he was not acting like himself. After he was able to eat some breakfast and drink some milk, he was back to his normal self. Logan has been really enjoying school, and even went in the afternoon after chemo. All of that combined with the steroids made for a needy, hungry Logan for the past week, but hopefully that will subside soon. The increased the dosage of all of his medications because he has grown, so hopefully that will not make his numbers drop too low. He continues to be all over the place with his lab results each month, so we do not really know what will happen over the next month. We have to check in next week for a lab draw, so they can just check on him and we will know then.
