Back from the Doctors

Lots of our questions were answered today and I know some of you have been asking the same questions so here is the cliff notes.

Logan will be on a high dose of Cytarabine (Ara-c) 2 times a day for the next 5 days and Etoposide once a day for 5 days. Each doctors visit this week will be 3 to 4 hours long and are being sent home with an IV pump for his nightly dose (which I'm sure Eric will administer as before). We can't predict how he will react to the medication this time because the dose and duration are different. Logan is also fighting a head cold right now which may interfere with his recovery time. We're keeping our fingers crossed that this doesn't turn into pneumonia.

Tomorrow Amanda, Eric, Logan and I will all be donating blood samples that the doctor will be sending to the transplant lab in Kansas City for tissue typing. If Amanda is not a tissue match they'll keep our info on file for future cross matches. I'm not sure when we'll get the results back.

Wednesday we are still on schedule for the bone marrow aspiration at 8 a.m. with a doctors office visit at 1:00 - long day for all of us! Hopefully we'll know before the end of the day if he is in remission.

I think that covers everything. So far Logan is feeling good and eating everything in sight.
