On The Way Down

This morning's CBC showed that Logan's blood count is on the way down.  Hemoglobin is 8.5 (anything below 8 is when they do a blood transfusion), Platelets are 21.  Absolute Neutrophils 420.   He is starting to feel the effects of low hemoglobin (no energy, headaches when he stands up, dizziness) and he is beginning to get mouth, stomach and esophagus sores as a side effect from the chemo.  Right now we are encouraging him to eat when he can and pushing fluids while managing his pain.

    Oh no! Praying his hemoglobin levels stay above 8, and that these side effects subside quickly!
