No School For Now

I've been in contact with Logan's school nurse and it looks like there are some flu type bugs going around the school. Eric and I discussed the pros and cons of keeping him home verses sending him to school and we've decided that it's in his best interest to stay home for a while. For those of you not in the know, each round of chemo reduces his infection fighting abilities to zero, setting up an ideal breeding ground for any germ floating by. In his weakened state, the flu would become life threatening. Eric, Amanda and I have all gotten flu shots to help protect him from us bringing it home, but in a school setting it's uncontrollable. Logan's very sad to be missing his friends and activities, but hopefully he'll be back at it soon. On a positive note, tonight is the last dose of chemo for this round and he has done wonderfully with the new drug.

    I'm sorry to hear that he will be missing school. Give the kids, and yourselves, a hug from me.

    I know he's sad to be missing out on stuff, but maybe using a little Skype will make him feel not so isolated. Be careful, too, about taking him out in public. There's a lot of stuff going around here right now...and people love to go to stores even when they're sick. Take care. Karen

    I am sure that his friends at school will be missing him too. Dillon, Delaney, and Donovan have been missing Logan and Amanda too. Lots of hugs and kisses from us.

    I agree that you made the best choice. We are having a heck of a time keeping our staff well there is a wicked virus or two going around.
