Last day home

Well, the day has finally come: it is the last day of summer break. Bummer. Don't get me wrong, I love my job. It is fun and never boring. But it is a little harder this year because of Logan being sick. Not that you would know it. He has been running around like a madman, and it is wonderful to see. His energy is up, and he is just being a kid. He loves playing with his Avengers umbrella (thankfully it has been raining lately), riding his bike, and digging in the dirt.

He does ask about "medicine for my mouth?" during the day since he is still taking the oral chemo at night. He also asks about "medicine for Bob" which is when the doctors put chemo into his port. He dreads the finger pokes, but is a trooper when we go. He cries when they poke him, but then recovers quickly and is ready for his toy. These things do intrude into our fantasy of a normal healthy kid, and bring the reality of his cancer into the forefront of our minds. But, you know what? He is a normal kid. And he is getting healthy. We are going to cherish this time when he feels great and can run around. The next couple of months shouldn't be too hard on him, so we are going to take advantage. We still have to be careful with germs, and do not want him to get sick so we are taking precautions. So far, he really has breezed through the chemo. We cannot complain. He has not had to go back into the hospital, and has taken it all in stride.  But, we know what is coming in the fall, and it will not be quite so easy on him. So, we are going to spend our last day home running errands and having fun, because tomorrow will be here quickly.

Thanks so much to Christie for giving me a great massage, and thanks to Peggy for taking Alexis to the pool, she had a great time.
