This has been a pretty smooth week since chemo. Logan is taking his medicines like a champ as usual, though he keeps telling us that he really does not like "that one," referring to the steroid. It is pretty bitter, but thankfully it is a small amount. The steroids have definitely kicked in though. He is pretty hungry all the time, and he has to go to the bathroom more often. He loves to snack and will put away a pretty good amount. Except when it comes to dinner. We are still having trouble getting him to eat dinner, and it does not phase him when we tell him that he cannot eat any more after we are done with dinner even if he has not eaten much. That is, until he asks for a snack or something about 1/2 hour later. Then he is all sad, and it breaks my heart. We tell him that he cannot eat after dinner time so that his medicine works. He accepts this explanation and seems to understand, but that does not stop him from trying. Thankfully, he is not one to try and sneak food. Though we try not to leave any snacks out so that he doesn't just grab it without asking or thinking. But, as he gets older I could see a bigger problem. But, by then he will probably understand it all more and eat a better dinner. Anyway, due to the steroids, he is craving junk food. Cheetos anyone? We have those. Nachos? Check. At least he is also wanting better things like yogurt, raisins and oranges. He has also not been super open to getting his picture taken, so I have become sneaky. In this picture, I told him I had just taken it, and then he looked at me and I snapped it quick.
