Numbers go up, numbers go down

I took Logan into the clinic yesterday for a blood check since his platelet count had drastically dropped last week. They just wanted to get another count before the weekend. Amazingly, his count had shot right back up from 83,000 to almost 250,000. That was good news. The not so great news was that his ANC (which is a calculation of various white blood cells) had gone down from 1000 to 700. This is not horrible, but he does have to be over 750 to get chemo. So we are hoping that is also on the upswing and will recover enough by the Monday blood check to get chemo on Tuesday.

Do these numbers really tell the story of how Logan is doing. No Way! He is doing so well and acting like he feels on top of the world. He is running around, and has a great amount of energy. He is definitely keeping us entertained. Nothing is slowing him down, and we are enjoying it right now.
