Logan has had a pretty uneventful week, and we made it through without any visits to the clinic which was nice. On the other hand, Logan has been sick all week. Nothing major, but it is hanging on. He had the croupy cough earlier in the week, and it turned into a regular cold with runny nose. The cough is gone, thankfully, but the runny nose shows no sign of slowing down. What is strange, is that when he wakes up in the morning, he is perfectly fine. He is happy, feisty, and ready to go to daycare and see his friends. He even wanted to go out this morning and play in the snow before we left. But, when we get home/as it is getting dark he is a bit whiny and needy. He is not sleeping great (translation: neither am I), and has decided he does not want to sleep alone. We even tried bringing him into our bed one night, but that was disastrous as no one got any sleep. But, of course, now he wants to do that again. It is funny, he keeps making up excuses as to why he should come to our bed. The reason keeps changing. What has me the most worried about this though is that he has labs on Monday to see if he passes his counts to start Maintenance on Tuesday. Hopefully he will get some good rest over the weekend and bounce back. Positive thoughts are needed.
Dear Parent of a Sick Child This is a link to another blog that I saw on Facebook. It was tough to read and took me back to those first few days in the hospital when Logan was diagnosed. We have been so fortunate in that he is responding very well to treatment, has not been readmitted to the hospital, and that his cancer has a very good survival rate. But it also spoke to how I am feeling this week. It has not been a bad week, just a hard week. I am tired. I am tired of him getting sick so easily, I am tired of trying to be/act normal, and I am just physically tired (I think I am coming down with his cold too). Thank goodness for coffee and tea. Maybe I will get some sleep this weekend too.
