Transfusion

Today Logan will get another blood transfusion. His hemoglobin dropped significantly from yesterday to 6.3. Platelets are down to 1700, white blood cells are holding steady at 1.0 but still no neutrophils. The morphine is helping him eat more but today he will start on anti-fugal medicine that may make him feel even worse. His fever is still up so no end in sight for our hospital stay. Some good news is his EKG came back normal so no heart damage! The nutritionist came to visit us yesterday afternoon and because he hasn't been eating well he's deficient in protein so we're pushing the yogurt and cottage cheese. We're also going to try a protein drink and see if he likes the taste.

My mom surprised us with a visit yesterday and was kind enough to sit with Logan while Eric and I enjoyed a dinner out together. As you can imagine, we haven't seen each other much this week. Eric has been pulling the night shift here with Logan while I sleep at home and I come in around 6 every morning and stay with him while Eric goes to work. Thank you all for the words of encouragement that you have been posting on the blog. It really helps to know so many people are following our journey and leaning us support. Amanda has been having a grand time with her cousins and grandparents in KC this week. We're not sure when she'll come home since we don't know when Logan will be released, but it has made things infinitely easier with her out of town. Thank you all!
