Friday doctor appointment

Well, I think I am recovered enough to write something for this blog. Working really threw me for a loop. Granted, I am not used to sitting in front of a computer all day, and that was part of it. Give me a room full of preschoolers any day! Thankfully, I was working with an amazing group of women on a worthwhile project. But it really drove home the fact that I have been very fortunate to be home on summer break with Logan during these first couple of months. Timing was definitely on our side.

Logan had a doctor's appointment this morning just for a check of his blood (the dreaded finger poke) and exam. He has really been doing well this week. He has not been getting sick, and his appetite has improved. Energy is also on the rise, and he is playing more and more. Logan loves to ride his bike and run around in the yard with his friends, and it has been great to see him get back to these. Blood work during his appointment showed that his numbers look good. His ANC was 2500 (up from 1600 last week), and unless it tanks (knock on wood, cross your fingers, etc.) then he should be good to go for starting the next phase next week. This was considered his "week off" because he did not have any chemo in his port, spinal fluid, etc.

Thanks very much to Cathy, Brenda and Carol for taking Alexis this week when I was working. She had a fun time each day, and I knew she was in great hands. Also thanks to Emily and Wade for bringing dinner on Tuesday, and to Peg M for bringing food for dinner tonight. Thank you to Elena and Maggie Moos ice cream shop for inviting us in and letting the kids have a fun ice cream day. You are all amazing, and much appreciated!
