Withdrawals

So, Logan's last dose of steroids was on Thursday evening. Over the weekend he had a few withdrawal symptoms including being shaky, having a headache, and a lessening of his appetite. He can still be grumpy, but is overall in a much better mood. His puffiness is going down, and his belly is getting smaller. It is hard to tell in the picture below, but it is much better and he is not so uncomfortable. Everyone kept saying that he looked adorable with the extra weight, and I guess that is true. But he was just so uncomfortable, and just didn't look like our kid so it was hard for us.  Logan's next doctor appointment is tomorrow afternoon, and we will find out the results of his bone marrow test and what his next phase of treatment will entail. His new favorite thing is Iron Man, thanks in part to Spiderman cartoons and a new Marvel series on one of the Disney channels and also a new shirt. This picture is from Saturday:

And this is from today:

Also thanks to Eric's aunt Wylene for sending a package with activities. We also appreciate all the support and love for our parents and extended family and friends.
