Long overdue

Logan has been staying busy and doing well. He had a great Christmas with family. He really enjoyed seeing Santa, going to the Make A Wish store to shop for his friends and family, and being on break from school.
He also enjoyed decorating and eating cookies:



Shortly after going back to school in January, he LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH! He was so excited that he couldn't wait to tell everyone at school the next day. 

It is really nice to be thinking and talking about normal things like Logan losing his first tooth. It is times like these we can almost forget the daily reality of leukemia that brings medication, headaches, fatigue, and worry over infection/illness. Overall, Logan has been healthy. He has just had a mild cold/cough, which passed quickly. He has started a new medication that is supposed to reduce his headaches by half. We have not noticed that the number of headaches are fewer in number, but he has  not had a really bad headache (nausea, vomiting, screaming in pain) since he started the medicine. He has gotten past most of the bothersome side effects, so hopefully it will continue to work and reduce the headaches. His immune system has been hanging in there, with numbers a little low but not low enough to hold any medications. That is all of the major updates for now.
