Chemo day

Logan had his third consecutive lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to put chemo in his spinal fluid today. This is three weeks in a row, but now he does not have another of these for about 6 weeks. Since he did not have any headaches last week, they gave him IV fluids and had him stay flat for an hour again today. They did blood work too today, and things are still looking good. His ANC is lower, but still in a good range at 1600. That number has been all over the place zigzagging way up and down over the past month, but apparently that is normal. We then went to get his hair cut since it was getting a little shaggy around the back and sides. I did notice that it made some of the thinner spots a little more prominent, but not bad.

We also officially met a new friend at the clinic today: Delaney. Stacey, your comment did not show up on any of the blog posts (it can be temperamental if you do not have a gmail account, and even if you do), so I do not have your email.  I truly hope you don't feel like I was trying to get away from you today, I just felt guilty keeping you from Delaney and the doctor this morning. I would love to talk to another mom who is going through the same thing.

Here is a video of Logan last night attacking the bubbles with his wand, and a picture of Logan and his new haircut:
