Deferred

So, we went in on Friday for labs and Logan's numbers are low, but not too low. His ANC is 640 which just means that his immune system is moderately compromised. He can still do daily activities, but we are trying to up the handwashing. One problem with this is that he now throws up if he even smells hand sanitizer. And, a sink is not always as accessible/convenient as often as I would like for him to wash his hands. But we are figuring it out.

We did iron out all the details of scheduling on Friday. We have now changed our clinic days to Mondays for labs and Tuesdays for chemo. This ensures that we have our normal medical assistant doing the finger pokes, regular physician assistant doing Logan's exams and lumbar punctures (spinal chemo), and a familiar nurse to access his port. Hopefully this will work.

I say it like that because Logan has had a cough, and is sounding a bit croupy. (Is that a word?) But, I think the worst of that has passed without really getting him down. Just one night of restless sleep for us all. He seems to be on the mend. Here he is with his new hat from the clinic:
