The Logan Update: 12/3/10

Nothing quite says 'the holidays' to me like a cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie on TV, so that's precisely how I'm ending my Friday.

Today marked day 2 of cycle 4. Logan was active once again this morning, riding in the little red and black car, beeping at the nurses' station, and seeking out Molly for a good slathering of his own special brand of charm. Some folks from the Exploratorium, a local kids' museum, came by the playroom and we made a kaleidoscope and a little bottled atmosphere. (At least, I think that's what it is! I can't remember exactly.) He wasn't at all interested in food, though, and threw up shortly after Adam left at about 11:45. He tried to resist going to sleep, but finally wound up conking out at roughly 2... and he was still sleeping when Adam got back to CHO at 8 this evening. Apparently Haleema, his nurse, told Adam to let Logan know that she's his nurse for the afternoon / night because she'd yet to see him awake! It's good for him to sleep; he needs the rest since the drugs are so tough. And it gives me a little jolt of hope, too: I remember Dr. T telling us several months ago that lots of sleep can point to rapid tumor death. And that's my big bold prayer for cycle 4.

I still feel on edge about this month. But I'm also praying with just about every breath, and am so thankful for each and every member of what I've come to refer to as Logan's Army. Many blessings to you all.
