#Loganstrong

Logan had a great day today! No upset tummy all day.
He is standing right here as I type this holding his light saber. He is pretending it is a bat and he is Ichiro and Big Richie. I asked him if he wanted to say anything and he responded “I like Mariner’s and I like this bat right here (pointing at a small S.F. Giants bat his Grandma bought him).” He also just said to say “That he went to a S.F. Giants game”

Now he has a joke “Who let the cows out?”…………….”Nobody!”

Hope Logan’s Joke makes everyone smile!

This is a video I thought everyone would enjoy. It was filmed just before Logan turned 4 in December 2005. His love for baseball!

Just tucked Logan into bed. He is watching a movie about a kid liking the Yankees (poor kid). He had a little bit of a rough afternoon. He got sick three times. Tomorrow he has no appointments so Mom, Logan, & Peyton can just lay around all day! Remember to send me pictures for Logan to jasonyewis@gmail.com!

Hello everyone! Logan is doing very well today. He slept through the night last night. I called home to check how his day was going today and he was doing a puppet show for his little brother Peyton. Today he has to go up to the hospital this afternoon for a quick shot (helps get his white blood cells back quicker).
Another cool example of someone reaching out….a local tavern in Bonney Lake (Bonney Lake Tavern) who has never met Logan is having a Spaghetti Feed to benefit him. For all you locals that read this it is October 24th from 6pm-8pm (no kids because it is a tavern). Address is 18212 State Route 410. Anyone who wants to call the owner and say THANK YOU the number is 253-863-9904. Cost is $10.00 per person.

Send Logan your pictures! Send them to me at jasonyewis@gmail.com and I will post them for everyone to see. All photos can be viewed by clicking Photos below Logan’s picture on front page of blog. With photos please send description of who, where, when etc. Thank You!

Good Tuesday morning. Logan had a pretty good night last night. No throwing-up which is great. His tummy was upset a couple times but we battled it w/ medicine. As with the night before we were up approximately every 45 minutes going potty. The reason is because they are hydrating w/ normal fluids, he is still getting his liquid food, and one of the chemo medicines he is getting is a 24/7 liquid medicine. It looks like we should be discharged about noon once the doctors make their rounds and he finishes w/ the liquid chemo. Have a great day!

Logan had a good day today. Last night was the same as the night before. He was sick twice. Grandma stayed up here w/ him and she did not get much sleep because Logan was going potty about every 45 minutes. Thank you mom (and David) for adjusting your life’s to help us. You mean the world to Kelly & I. Also the impact you have made on Logan is incredible. THANK YOU!
Logan played most the day and did some art work in the playroom. The plan is for us to go home tomorrow at around 11am if Logan is feeling o.k. Currently he is sleeping.

As for those awaiting for me to post Logan’s P.O. Box we are on a waiting list and should have one in the next week or so. Thank you for your patience.

Good Sunday to all. Logan had an upset tummy last night twice. The good thing he is feeling great this morning and joking around. He wants to go down to the playroom and play air hockey.
Everyday I get asked how am I doing…I am fine but there is not an hour that goes by that I don’t go through a lot of emotions. I look at Logan all the time and still cannot believe he has cancer. I won’t lie either…I also think the worst. He is such a strong kid though and I know the right thing to tell people is he will beat this. I really truly do believe Logan will beat this. He is so strong and at age 5 seems to have the right attitude about everything. When I talk w/ Logan about teaching Peyton to play baseball, ride a bike, play football etc. he always smiles and cannot wait. I know I can speak for my amazing wife as well. I fortunately have work as a little of a distraction where as Kelly she is home & hospital most the time. Thank god for our amazing support group. My family has been awesome. I try to take positives out of the negatives and I have never been closer to my family. Kelly’s family has also been amazing. They live in upstate New York and really struggle every minute not being here. They used all of there vacation this year to be here when we first started treatment. They also plan on coming out in early January (when they get two more weeks vacation) and being here to celebrate Logan’s 6th birthday. I am so lucky to have in-laws like them. Thank you to everyone we know & do not know for your amazing thoughts and prayers!

We finally just got into a room. They are over booked and over crowded. We sat in a play room since 7:30 this morning. They did however start Logan’s chemo in there. They do not anticipate Logan getting sick from this chemo but also did state that every kid is different. He is in good spirits watching scooby doo right now. As you probably guessed we do have a roommate. It is an older teenage boy. The other bad thing is we do not have a window either so it feels like we are in a dungeon. Logan and I will be out taking a lot of walks!

Thank you Grandma for the great pictures! Thank you Dr. Cecil Snodgrass for arranging the surprise for Logan.

Logan had a great appointment today. He gained 3lbs and the nutritionist was very pleased. He/we will be admitted tomorrow and is scheduled to released Tuesday.
