Ready for round two
We went to the doctor today for lab tests to see if he can start the second month of chemo. Logan's blood counts were much lower, but he still "passed." That means that we can start the "Consolidation" phase of chemo tomorrow as scheduled. I guess this is a cycle we will go through each month: finish chemo, have blood tests, and those tests determine whether or not we keep going or he has to take a short break before the next phase starts. It is pretty common that the chemo drugs will cause his blood counts to drop, so this is something they keep track of pretty close. It also tells us how susceptible to infection or getting sick he is at any given time, and how many precautions we need to take. So for now we are chugging along, and he is even able to go to Alexis' birthday party tomorrow. Thanks to Leigh P, Pam C, and Peggy for bringing food and gifts this week. Here is a short video of him the other day dancing. It is hard to hear, but there is music in the background while he was eating.

All of you take care and stay strong with this second round. I hope Logan's contagious smile and energy are sustained as much as possible through this time...yours, too. ♥ He has got some happening moves there! :) Sharon Littenberg
