Let's try this

Logan had another lumbar puncture (spinal tap) today to put chemo into his spinal fluid. Since he had trouble with a headache and ensuing vomiting last week, they had us take a few more precautions. They gave him some fluids through his port after the procedure and also had him lay flat for about an hour instead of just 30 minutes. He tolerated this pretty well, and just stayed flat eating some cereal and drinking milk. I think it also helped that they gave him some extra sedatives before the procedure because he was a little squirmy last week. This week, he still did not like being held on his side in the fetal position (we heard him tell them "NO" loudly), but he tolerated it better and it helped him stay flat longer. The cereal that he ate this morning after the chemo was the most he has eaten in 2 days. He really has not been eating, and I think his stomach has been upset (he threw up again this morning). But, the doctors are having us give him some Zantac for a few days again to see if that helps. Hopefully all of these extra steps will help him feel better. One thing he loves right now is driving his battery-operated Francesco around the neighborhood.
