Rough couple of days...

Sorry for the late update on how Logan is doing, but it has been a pretty busy/crazy couple of days. Logan was a trooper for his all day clinic visit on Friday for chemo. We arrived at 8 am, and he promptly had his port accessed and they started his fluids for "pre-hydration." Apparently the chemo he received on Friday can be pretty toxic to the kidneys, so they do lots of IV fluids before and after giving it. Logan did pretty well for his spinal chemo and sedation for that. Unfortunately, Logan is starting to have fluctuating emotions during his sedation. He used to just become really giggly, but now he fluctuates between crying and giggling. It is a little pitiful, but we just snuggle him and get through it. They then gave him his Cytoxin, and then four more hours of fluids. Daddy went and brought back some lunch, and we just continued to watch movies and try and occupy Logan. The nurse then came in to teach us how to give Logan his chemo shots at home for the next few days (and another few days in a week). Yes, I now have chemotherapy in my fridge. It is a little unsettling to see the bright yellow hazard bag with warnings all over it sitting next to the yogurt. But, Logan has done great with getting his shots the last two days. He does not like it any more than I like giving them to him, but he is doing better than expected.

So, after we got home Friday at a little before 4 pm, we got settled and Logan did start to slow down a little from his bouncing ways. Then just as we were about to eat dinner, he really got sick. Poor thing was so nauseous that he really hasn't eaten much or kept it down since then. He did eat a couple of crackers at one point yesterday, and he is keeping his medicine down so that is good. We are back on a medicine that he has to take at night on an empty stomach. That is a little tricky considering it is hard to keep him awake until his 7:30 bedtime, but on the other hand he is not eating much so that makes it easier.

He does seem to be feeling a little better today, so here is hoping it stays that way! Here are a couple of pictures from Logan at the clinic on Friday:
