Looking good heading into Friday

Logan had a doctor's appointment today just for a quick check and blood work. His numbers continue to improve, and his ANC is now in the middle of the normal range. It is at 3600 ("normal" range is 1400-6600), which is a far cry from 100 at our lowest. This all means that his immune system is improving and he is at a lower risk of ending up back in the hospital in the immediate future. We still have to keep him from being exposed to unnecessary germs because if he has a fever then he must go into the hospital. But his numbers right now make him less susceptible.

He is still eating like crazy, and gaining weight rapidly. As of his appointment today, he has gained 8.5 pounds. He looks like a different kid, but is still very sweet (Unless I am trying to put him off from having more food).  Logan is encountering problems that he never had before. His feet fall asleep when he sits on his knees at the dinner table. We have started using a step stool for a booster, but the hard surface makes his backside hurt. Actually, sitting in general makes it hurt if he doesn't move around much to relieve the pressure. Poor kid.

As for me, I am just feeling "blah." Not that anything is going wrong with Logan and his treatment. I think it is just one of those "my kid has cancer, and that sucks" kind of days. This will pass, and get better.

Also, I forgot last week to thank Sarah for taking Alexis for a day of fun with Natalie and the whole family. Thanks to Carol and Hannah for watching Alexis today so she could play with the girls. Thank you Bryn for watching the kids yesterday when I had an appointment. Thanks to Emily for bringing me some soda yesterday, and a thank you in advance for bringing dinner this Friday. Thanks to Leigh L and her family for sending a box of gifts for the kids and a gift card for Eric and I. We appreciate everyone so much.
