First month of Maintenance down and other great news

I guess technically the first month is not over until tomorrow night, but we take all the little victories that we can get. Logan's runny nose is back and it brought a little cough with it, but he is going along as if nothing is wrong. Can't keep the big man down. As a matter of fact, he has made some huge strides in potty training this week. This is a big deal for Logan. We were getting close right before his diagnosis, and were planning on really working hard over the summer. Obviously, that took a back burner to our "new normal" once we learned of Logan's leukemia. Not only did many other things take priority, but all the medicines and treatments really impacted his ability, willingness, etc. Through the past eight months, he would get closer and then go through a rougher patch of treatment. It has been a constant two steps forward, one step back. But not lately. He has done well this past month with treatment, and with using the bathroom this past couple of weeks with fewer and fewer accidents. One of our strategies is to just have him run around wearing is underwear and a shirt while we are at home. It seems to be working and he loves it. We even caught him playing a familiar scene from Risky Business:

So, we go in tomorrow for labs and then Tuesday for chemo. It should be a busy week. Thankfully I spent some time this weekend cooking and preparing several freezer meals that can just be thrown into the crockpot in the mornings.
