Logan now has a PICC line; the procedure went fairly well. It seems that he has his mom's vein structure, as it took several tries to get the line started again today. Logan's last CBC was Sunday at the ER, so the hospital ran one and found he needed platelets and red blood cells. Transfusions are not a quick process, so we spent from 8:00AM to 7:40 PM in the PICU (the only place they do sedation on the weekend).
We also discovered that the infection found in Logan's Hickman is pretty easy to treat with antibiotics, and has had no symptoms of infection since it was removed. It looks like we avoided any serious complications resulting from his line infection.
Logan still has a few neutrophils, so we remain optimistic that the Neupogen kicks in soon and keeps us away from the dreaded Neutropenic Fever.
We are relaxing at home tonight, and we are thankful. We are also very glad that Fran made the trip down to take care of Amanda while we were at the hospital today. Thanks, Fran!!!

Diane, I've been keeping up with your blog. I know you don't want to hear from me a bunch, but I just needed to tell you that I understand how exhausting and stressful this is... not just Logan's Battle, but all of his family's too. We have been fighting the same battle for almost 2 years with my grandaughter Lily's brain cancer. She was given 6-9 months to live, but that was before St. Judes in Memphis. Now her prognosis is very good. I'm going to continue to pray that Logan and all of you will get just what you need when you need it and that Logan will be completely cancer free. Gina
