Feeling better

Logan has been doing better, though he still has a residual cough. He has been sleeping much better and is not nearly as cranky. He is back to his normal routine, and this is good. His appetite fluctuates, and he has actually skipped dinner a couple of nights. Thankfully this has not led to him waking very early in the morning starving for breakfast. Logan has been on a cycle of big appetite and put on a pound or so when he is on steroids, then appetite tapers and he loses that weight by the start of the next cycle. That didn't really happen this month, but he is still holding his own. He is doing ok on taking his medicine, and is usually a trooper. Tuesday nights, however, are more of a challenge. This is the night that he takes a second chemo, methotrexate. And if it was just one pill, that would be fine, but he takes 10.5 of them. They are yellow, and apparently traumatizing. There is so much of the medicine that whatever I put it in becomes yellow. He does not like it, and it becomes this crazy struggle. I have tried applesauce and pudding, and those are vomit-inducing. I have tried crushing it fine enough and dissolving it, so that I can suck it up into the syringe and flavor it with grape or cherry syrup. Still yellow, still a struggle. I think it is mostly mental, but not sure how to get past that. Any suggestions are welcome. I will leave you with pictures of my handsome little man with all of his hair. We have had to trim the back and sides, but not the top yet.
