We are back from the doctor from Logan's first chemo therapy treatment. We were there from 9:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m... a LONG time for a little boy! He didn't have any allergic reactions to the medicines in the office (good news). Right before we left, the doctor did the spinal tap and let me say, Logan was NOT impressed! We'll get the results from that test tomorrow morning when we go back for more treatment. If no cancer cells are in the spinal fluid sample they drew then no more are needed until next month, otherwise it's one spinal tap a day for 9 more days : (
We've spent the afternoon getting the sick guy all set up in this bedroom. Entertainment at his fingertips, vomit bucket at the ready, and a special drink cup full to the brim. He's not feeling well, as expected. Vomiting, fatigue, and joint pain are his complaints at the moment. Eric or I will be administering his next set of meds at 10:00 tonight so we may be sleeping in shifts depending on how bad he's feeling.
Tomorrow's doctors appointment is at 9:30 a.m. but shouldn't take as long as today... only 3 different meds and HOPEFULLY no spinal tap.

Hoping that all test come back great tomorrow so Logan does not have to have any more spinal taps. That had to be really hard. My mom said that her taste buds were a little off when she went through chemo and that a little lemon sorbet helped cleanse her palet before eating. Plus, Lemon sorbet is always yummy to eat anyway. Sam is thinking about Logan too and wants to come and see him...he doesn't believe me that you guys moved. Call me any time, I don't want to bother you as I know that down time will be limited right now but I'm free to talk most of the time. Hope your night goes well. Talk to you soon!
ReplyDeleteHoping for the best possible result tomorrow! What a brave little guy!
ReplyDeleteLogan I am so impressed how brave you are!
ReplyDeleteI sent you a package that should be there in a couple of days. Just remember that you are STRONGER and BRAVER than any sickness.
Diane, we are certainly hoping for good news from your doctor tomorrow. I have some time off in July and would be more than happy to come help you in any way. Just e-mail me or give me a call. Hang in there! Logan is so fortunate to have two loving parents to help him through these challenging times!
