Day Three in the Hospital

Logan's temperature is still down, so we are still scheduled for release tomorrow. He is getting a blood transfusion today and a platelet transfusion tomorrow because his red blood cells are borderline and his platelets are so low they are worried that if he starts bleeding he won't stop. They will send us home with antibiotics for his infection, and we'll see our Doctor Monday for more blood tests. He is having some skin bruising because of the low platelets. The Benadryl plus antibiotics make him sick to his stomach so getting food down him has become a challenge. He's lost two pounds in the three days we've been here at the hospital. He's been living on cereal and popsicles... not the best nutritionally but we'll take what we can get.
