Early this morning they came in and gave him another blood transfusion. (Leukemia patients need lots of blood and platelets, so if you are ever wondering what you can do to help, GIVE BLOOD! It is so important to these kids to have it)
Dana came in to explain to him what is going to happen today with the surgery and what the port is that he is going to have in his chest. She also brought him all of the beads of courage that he has earned up until today. It is crazy when you see how many beads there are, and you realize that each one represents something that he had to endure. It is heart wrenching as a parent to have to watch your child go through this…
He fought the anesthetic when they were trying to put him to sleep. They say that is a good sign that he is such a fighter
The Doctors came out after the surgery and said everything went well. They came and got us when he was in recovery… we got in there and he was screaming! So scared since he didn’t know anyone and everything looked so different than his room.
Aunt Kimi came to visit this afternoon and he had a lot of fun playing with her on the mat.
This afternoon was when he got his first push of the chemo. They put it right through his port and he never even knew. The kind that he got today is said to not make the kids as sick, but they still give them a drug to help with the nausea.
That night, as I was getting ready to leave he says “Always remember to take care of baby Logan”… what a loving boy.
