Topped off

Everything went as hoped this evening and we were not detained at the hospital, so we are going to continue with our plans for a relaxing weekend at home. We will probably be homebound since Logan's counts are getting pretty low (now mildly neutropenic, thrombocytopenic, and anemic). None of his counts are of great concern, and he is doing better than either of his first two rounds of chemo. Both round 1 and round 2 had us at the hospital by now. We are hopeful that we can stay home this time.

Diane and I also gave blood at the hospital; we were planning on going to the blood drive before we found out that Logan needed a refill. We ended up saving ourselves a trip, which was a bonus. Logan and Amanda both got a kick out of taking care of us while we were donating. The staff all thought that they were both very cute and of course perfect angels. Amazing what happens when there is an unlimited supply of cookies...

  2. With all of this practice, both of the kids may end up in the medical profession.
    Did you have to go to the pediatric unit for the blood transfusion?

    And to mom... yes, we went to the pediatric unit. It's nice because everyone knows us there now so when you walk in it's "Hey Logan! Are you being admited?" Everytime we turn around! : )
