I took Logan into the doctor for his lab check on Thursday. His labs were just fine for him to pass and receive chemo on Friday, but they have dropped considerably since the last check. His ANC is still 1000 which is below normal, but still pretty good (and it must be 750 or greater to pass for chemo). His platelets however were 83,000, which is down from somewhere in the ballpark of 350,000 ten days before (and they must be greater than 75,000 to pass). What all this means is that he was fine for chemo on Friday, but may not pass for the next dose especially since they escalate the dose each time in this phase. Just to keep close tabs on him, they are having us come in on Thursday next week to do a lab check before the weekend. We actually were not scheduled for any visits next week, but this one is now added in.
Still, Logan is chugging along and you would never know that he has leukemia and is undergoing chemotherapy. He is happy, energetic, and our little ball of fire. The only indicator might be that he does not have much of an appetite, but that is all. He is certainly not letting this slow him down. Here is a picture of him playing a Cars racing game while getting his chemo yesterday:
