2 more weeks to go

Logan had chemo today. We took him in, and they talked a little more about the blood work from yesterday. They said that his "counts" are now coming up as we knew, but they are actually coming up sooner than they would have expected. This is a good sign that they are recovering quicker, and he is responding well to treatment. Our main concern right now is that yesterday and today he had a little of a fever. Nothing too high, but between 99 and 100, and once it was a little over 100. We have to monitor this, and hopefully it will stay down. If he goes over 101 even once then it means going straight to the hospital. So, please think, pray, wish, hope, whatever you prefer, but please send some positive energy our way to keep him well and at home. We appreciate it.

We still have two more weeks of these steroids. The end of this month cannot come soon enough. This poor child just wants to eat, and I am not letting him have whatever he wants. Distraction and putting him off only works for a short time. I feel mean, because he is just hungry. I know in my brain that I cannot give him anything and everything. But my heart hurts when I have to tell him no, and he says "I'm still hungry." And then he cries.  Worst. Mother. Ever. He doesn't say that, it is just how I feel.

While still grumpy, he is loosening up a little at the doctors office. He even smiled at a couple of the ladies today. And he didn't completely melt down when we took his shirt off so they could access his port (aka "Bob" they don't call it that, we just gave it a name) This is major progress.
