Another good day! Logan went to school this morning. He was a little skeptical though when he entered his classroom because he had a substitute teacher. After some convincing from mom though he was alright. Right now his older brother Josh is over and they are having a blast. Logan really looks up to him. Tomorrow is the big day w/ the firetruck. Hopefully we will get lots of good pictures to put on the blog. Logan also has an appointment in the afternoon to check his weight and counts to make sure he is o.k. to start chemo #4 on Saturday.
Logan had another great day! He did not have school today so Logan, Mom, & Peyton went to the pumpkin patch. As you can see from the pictures Logan had his boots on in the mud. He picked out lots of great pumpkins. He also got his Halloween costume today. He is going to be a teenage mutant ninja turtle.
My Dr. in Puyallup Dr. Cecil Snodgrass works closely w/ the Puyallup Fire Department. He has set up a surprise visit at Logan’s school this Friday. The ladder truck is going to come there and surprise him and his class and Logan is going to be the guest firemen. Kelly will be there to get lots of pictures. Thank You Doc!
Logan got to ride the school bus today! He went home w/ cousin Sydney after school. Aunt Traci was there to greet the two of them when they got off and she said Logan had a grin ear to ear. This was is first school bus ride ever! He spent the afternoon playing w/ Sydney. When Traci asked him if he wanted lunch Logan pointed to his backpack of food/formula and said “No thank you, I have been eating all morning.” I thought that was hilarious!
Thank you everyone for your continuous thoughts, cards, & donations. If I were to list all correspondence I would crash your computer. It is amazing. When Logan beats cancer I hope that everyone comes to his Graduation from High School! THANK YOU!
Good day today (even for a Monday). Logan had a great day at school. He also has his appetite back. After school he asked for McDonald’s. He ate a whole hamburger happy meal. He is still also getting the food via the NG tube as well. Our next appointment is not until Friday. They want to check his blood counts before admitting us for Chemo #4 on Saturday. Smile everyone because Logan is!
Today Uncle Pat & Family participated in a run/walk to benefit Children’s Hospital in Seattle. Pat did the run and the family did the cheering in the pouring rain. They all made Team Logan shirts. They are awesome. The requests are coming in Pat for people that want a shirt.
Logan had a great day today. We just laid around and relaxed all day. Grandma & Grandpa stopped by to watch the Seahawks win. Chloe and her family stopped by to drop off the money raised yesterday at her party. Thank you to all who donated….$800.00 was raised!
Today is a day that will make a grown man cry….Blood transfusion went great this morning. After that we went to Logan’s friends Chloe’s 5th birthday party. She is our neighbor and one of Logan’s best friends. She asked her parents if she could give all of her presents to Logan. Her parents asked her how about instead we ask family’s to donate to Logan. She thought that was perfect. At age 5, especially at your birthday it is all about you. Chloe made her special day about Logan. She is one amazing little girl. THANK YOU CHLOE, MARIO (DAD), WENDY (MOM), & BABY KENNEDY (LITTLE SISTER). Thank you all who attended and wished Logan well. Logan played very hard at the party and had a blast! HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY CHLOE!
Logan (and Mom) had a great day at school. All the kids are partnered up w/ a fourth grader (buddy system). Today Logan met his 4th grade buddy and it went great. Another fourth grader asked Logan what the tube was for in his nose. Logan told him it was so he can eat. The response of that fourth grader “That is cool!” Logan thought that was neat. Logan, Peyton, Kelly, & Grandma are up at Seattle Children’s getting a platelet transfusion right now and then Logan and I will go back up in the morning for a red blood cell transfusion. They anticipate that will be it for the week. They might admit Logan next Saturday to start round four of chemo. If this is the case Logan will get to go to school all week.
More great news…..Logan’s bone marrow results came back today. Initially the cancer was in approximately 85% of the marrow. The new test showed it is in less than 5%!
Logan had a great day today! He just finished doing his kindergarten homework because he is going to school in the morning. He is also very excited because his mom is volunteering in his class tomorrow. His teacher is also going to talk w/ the kids about his NG Tube (feeding tube) and explain what it is for. The really cool thing is she is a diabetic and also has a tube that she needs to give herself medicine through. She is going to explain to the kids that Logan and her are just a like. She is an amazing teacher! Kelly is also feeling a little better today she got a nice (way over due) break to get a haircut as well as a massage. She looks amazing as usual. Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers.
I just got home from work and was greeted by the picture you see here. Logan is feeling much better. He also ate a little dinner tonight which is great. Energy level is coming back. Still has sickness about twice a day but definitely better! Logan is sitting by me and wants to say “My big brother Josh is really cool and likes doing his alphabet”.
This will be short because we are all very tired. Logan had a great day today! He was walking around and playing games. Cousin Sydney stopped by and played w/ him as well. He is keeping down the food that we are giving him through NG tube as well. We should hopefully start to see weight gain soon. Well I am off to bed w/ the rest of the family. Thank you for your continued support and prayers!
Also we have had people ask for our address to send Logan cards/gifts. I am sure everyone understands we do not feel comfortable putting it on the internet. We are going to get a P.O. Box hopefully this week and I will post that. Thank You.
