Brief Update and Request

This is going to be a fast one, both because I'm gearing up for the season premiere of 'Dancing with the Stars' and I feel a step away from awful.

That's right. After being blessed with and enjoying a relatively illness-free half-year plus, it seems as if some sort of bug is settling in at our house. This, obviously, is not good. Abby has a fever and is worn out, tired and cranky. Adam and I both feel a little something coming on. For me, it's akin to a headache/bodyache combo tinged with a little sinus discomfort.

Please, please pray that Logan will stay well, even if everyone else is hit. It's essential that we avoid delays during this treatment process and him getting sick would be a problem. He's doing fine so far with his radiation; he has two more days of full craniospinal treatment before we'll move to focal on the areas of known disease. He spent most of the day today at CHO receiving what we affectionately call a 'tank up', known to normal people as a blood transfusion. His hemoglobin this morning was right at the 9.0 cut-off, so it was decided that today would be a good day to bite the bullet and get it done. His platelets were at 39, which is low but acceptable, and his white cells were 3.4.

Thank you for your prayers, and apologies for the messy, scattered and not-terribly-informative update.
