I know, it has been a long time sine the last update, but things have been crazy. Logan got a cold soon after his birthday, but is mostly better. He just had the stuffy nose and cough which turned into croup for him as usual. But, thankfully that has passed and he is himself again. I do think he lost a little weight though, because he pretty much did not eat for 4 days and then only ate a little for a few days after that. He finally seemed to get his appetite back in the last couple of days.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. It is a time to reflect and raise awareness of all the little fighters out there including the ones who have lost the battle. St. Baldrick's has a lot of information about childhood cancer. It is certainly not comfortable information to know, but it needs to be out. Kids only get a small fraction of the funding for cancer research (4%) even though it is the number 1 disease killer of children (even more than most others combined). Today and every day, 46 kids are diagnosed with cancer, and 7 children die from cancer. That is something that none of us want to think about, but too many parents are forced to not only think about it but actually go through it. So, spread the word. Share information. I think Logan is worth more than 4%. Don't you?
