We are holding strong with no fever, so that is definitely good news. Logan is such a trooper. Begging for food aside, he is really hanging in there. He definitely gets tired and grumpy, and his lifestyle has changed significantly. Instead of endlessly running around in the yard, he prefers to swing (as long as we will push him) or stand still and squirt everyone else with his new water gun. He gets tired going up the stairs, and will huff and puff a little. I think this is due to his low blood levels and the extra weight. It is a good thing he has some shirts that were baggy on him and many pairs of elastic waist shorts. I am doing laundry more often because he only wants to wear his Cars, Buzz Lightyear, and Superman shirts (he was picky before about choosing his clothes, but now is even worse).
We have doctor's appointments for labs on Monday and Thursday of this week, and then Chemo on Friday. This week is the same routine as last week, hopefully without the blood transfusion. Then the next week is the last week of this first treatment month (Induction). On July 5th we go in for a bone marrow test and hope that MRD (Minimal Residual Disease) test is good. They tell us that they hope that all Leukemia cells will be gone from the marrow at that point. Though we will still be looking at a 3+ year course of treatment that has been shown to prevent relapse.
Here is a picture of Logan from yesterday. He did not want to take a nap, and decided to watch a movie for "quiet time."
