Happy Stem Cell Rescue Day!

Happy Stem Cell Rescue Day!

Today Logan is spending the day getting back stem cells they took (harvested) from him weeks ago.  The doctors collected about 8 million stem cells and froze them in four separate bags.  Today he is getting one of those bags transfused back into him.  It is an all day process as they will hydrate him as well as give him nausea medicine.  After receiving the stem cells he will then need to be monitored for 5 hours afterward.  So VERY long day for him.  Some of the side affects that the nurses will be watching for are low blood pressure, hives, fever, and nausea.

It is anticipated that Logan’s white blood cell counts will also drop this week.  This means that no public places and if he spikes a fever he is automatically admitted to hospital.

Logan had a nice weekend…after he was at safe levels of radiation he spent the weekend with one of his best friends…Logan.  Yes no typo they are both named Logan James.
