Logan's Avengers: The big catch up (Part 1)

OK, so it has been over a month since I updated the blog, sorry to all of Logan's followers. I have not been on my computer much at home, so have not updated. Here goes...

At the last update, Logan had just had IV chemo and spinal chemo, and his numbers were pretty low. They were low enough that they stopped all of his oral chemo pills. After that, we had a little scare the next week because he developed a fever and ear/jaw pain. Usually with an ANC below 500 and a fever, it is an automatic trip to the hospital for an admission. Thankfully, our doctor and nurse had us just come into the clinic to check Logan out. Turns out that he had an ear infection, but they took blood cultures just in case. After that, we went in the next week for a blood test to see if he was ready to restart his medications. The ANC was even lower at 200! This was pretty alarming to us all, especially with a camping trip pending. Because we had planned on going camping in Utah for Fall Break, they had us come in the Friday before for a recheck. Thankfully, the numbers were up high enough for us to travel. Yay!

Light the Night: We had a blast at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society event. First, that day was "Logan day" at the kids' school. Third grade sold Logan's Avengers stickers to the whole school for 25 cents each, and actually raised $550 just from the sticker sales. Unbelievable. This paired with Kindergarten and 3rd grade wearing their shirts, and other supporters wearing superhero shirts was great. When the kids got home from school, we finished packing up and left for the event. Since we got there early, we were able to set up our space with a shade tent, cooler of popsicles, and our sign. Then we could get checked without waiting too long in line. By then, kids and families from the school had started arriving. We were so impressed by the turnout from the school. There were several kids from 3rd grade and also many kids from Logan's kindergarten class. We were just blown away by the turn out from the school including families, several teachers, staff, and the principal. All of this combined with family including NeNe, Grandma and Grandpa made the night so special to Logan and our family.
