Good Friday evening to everyone. Sorry we have not written today but the hospital has been having issues w/ their wireless network. Logan had a great day today. Woke up w/ a little tummy ache but once we got up and moving he was fine. Yes all the nurses on the floor today got more tickets. This time to the moon and Pluto. Logan drew a rocket on each ticket for them. When asked how long to get to Pluto Logan told them 2 minutes. We did get a pass this afternoon and Logan, Dad, Mom, Peyton, Grandma Kathy, & Grandpa David all went down to University Village and got some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. Logan also picked up a new Scooby Doo book at the book store. This highlight of the day was when we walked Mom, Peyton, & the Grandparents down stairs to say goodbye one of his pre-school teachers was out front coming to see a relative. Logan’s lit up so big when he saw Miss Kari. He smiled from ear to ear for about five minutes. He gave her the biggest hug. It was an amazing moment. It goes to show what a great school Puyallup Playcare is. Currently as I type this Logan is drawing a picture for her. Everyone Smile and thank you for your thoughts and prayers. We get to go home tomorrow!
Another great day! I left for work for awhile and Logan ate like a pig! That is great news because he has not had much of an appetite of late. Mom has the right touch. Logan’s baby brother was a little cranky which concerned Logan. He rubs Peyton’s eyebrow’s to calm him. In yesterday’s blog I told everyone about going to park and skipping rocks. Logan brought back two rocks w/ him. He named the big one Big Richie (Richie Sexson of the Mariners) and the little one Ichiro. Today we drew faces on them and put there names and numbers on the back. He has been carrying them around and showing everyone. Only two days until we get to go home. Logan wants to golf in the back yard (where he always beat his Papa on Logan Links). Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
Happy Thursday to everyone. Logan had a great night last night. No tummy aches. This morning he went around and handed out more train tickets to Seattle to see Mariners, Puyallup to go to fair or NY to see Mariners play Yankees. Hopefully everyone went to the www.teambrent.com and read Brent’s story. I e-mailed his Mom last night and she has already responded back w/ numerous positive helpful e-mails. It’s great to hear similar stories of what we are going through. The more awarness we can create the better. I would love to at some point help raise money to find a cure for this nasty disiese. any ideas out there how we can raise money here in the Northwest let me know. Thank you everyone for the positive comments.
Today was a good day. Logan spent an hour walking around the floor giving the nurses train tickets he made. He said they were tickets to Seattle. He then went around and gave them train tickets to New York so they could go see the Mariner’s beat the Yankees (his idea not mine). His nurse Mandy was so thrilled that when we got back from our outside trip there was a brand new Lego train set on his bed. It made Logan’s day. We did get to leave again for about an hour. Kelly, Grandma (my Mom), Peyton, Logan & I went down to a park on Lake Washington. I taught Logan how to skip rocks. As he told the nurse tonight he is in training on how to skip rocks. We walked a lot so Logan came back very tired. I look over at him now at 8:55pm and he is sleeping peacefully.
As everyone can see Dylan has put some links on the blog as well. Everyone can visit those and learn about Logan’s cancer Neuroblastoma. I would like everyone to also visit this website and read the amazing story about Brent. My brother shared this story w/ me. As you will see it sounds very familiar. Visit www.teambrent.com.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
Good Wednesday morning! Last night was a little bit of a rough night. Logan had a tummy ache about 4am and tried to throw-up. He also has a little accident in bed. They have him hooked up to fluids all the time to flush the chemo through his system so he always has to go potty. He is feeling better this morning.
Today he is helping me w/ my Dex work putting together my “show” books to show customer’s. It requires gluing and pasting which he loves. Next I will teach him how to call my customers and set appts;).
He gets his chemo from 10am to 11am then nothing much the rest of the day. His little brother, mom, & Grandma (my mom) will be coming up later. Logan can’t wait.
Last night Logan & I watched the Mariner’s game and his nurse is a huge fan as well. She had Logan keep he updated on the score. So when the beat the Twins Logan made it his mission to find her to let her know.
Have a great day everyone!
Great first day today. Logan is doing amazing! They let us leave the hospital for about an hour to go get dinner down the road. Logan also bought some art supplies to decorate his room. Peyton has been doing very well up here. It brings a smile to Logan’s face every chance he gets to hold him. Last night he said the Peyton was his best friend. Well that is it for now Logan and I have to hopefully watch the Mariner’s get a win vs. the Twins. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!
Happy Tuesday morning! We are here at the hospital. Logan will be getting first of five doses here shortly. He is in a great mood! He is playing doctor this morning. We will be sharing a room this time w/ a girl about Logan’s age. The nurse said they are a real nice family. We have the good half of the room w/ the window:).
Today Kelly & Logan went up to Seattle Children’s for blood work. Logan’s counts looked great so he will be admitted tomorrow (Tuesday 8/21) to start his second round of chemo. If everything goes o.k. we should get to go home on Saturday 8/25. Logan’s spirits are up and he has a great attitude. Yesterday I spoke w/ him about needing a feeding tube later in treatment because his tummy would hurt a little and he would not feel like eating. I told him he would have a backpack w/ food and the tube would go into his belly. His response was “Do I get to pick the food that is in my backpack?”
I will try to update blog daily.
Thank you all for your continued support and prayers!
