One Bag, Please

We already knew Logan's platelets were very low by all the bruising he has, but it was confirmed this morning with a phone call from his doctor. White blood cells were .4, Hemoglobin 8.4, and platelets 8 so off to the hospital he went today (with Eric) for a bag of platelets.

I know a lot of you don't realize what I mean when I say he bruises easily so here are some photos of his colorful skin. He looks more like a leopard than a boy with all his spots. He is bruising so easily that just touching him is practically causing a bruise! It's a good thing that these don't hurt. He looks terrible but feels great so I'm okay with that.

    I would have voted for the Charlie Brown Halloween costume! Classic! You're blog is amazing...those are such scary bruises. My grandaughter Lily is doing well. She was just taken off of a chemo that made her sick! She's being treated by St. Judes in Memphis so they're watching her like a hawk(a missouri native hawk!)I know that people are probably bugging you with things to do BUT..has anybody told you that your precious Logan needs to be on a bacteria free diet? Diane, you are such a great Mom and you have 2 beautiful children who will grow up to love the earth and to love others. I think of you alot! Gina
