Day Two Complete!

Whoa!  That was a long and boring day!  Logan and I just returned home from our 2nd day of doctor's appointments.  Today he had his radioactive kidney test with nuclear medicine. This was a 4 hour test with multiple blood draws to determine how quickly Logan's kidneys clear the medicine.  Don't worry though, he didn't have to stay strapped to the table the whole 4 hours.  We got to sit around on our thumbs a lot too, waiting for the next blood draw.  I think that's what made the day so difficult for us.  BORING!


Logan also had a chest x-ray today and a pulmonary appointment to check his lung function.  We will get the results of all these fun tests tomorrow when we meet with the bone marrow team, however today I got a call from his experimental medicine doctor with the results of yesterday's bone marrow aspirate.  0% leukemic cells were found in Logan's bone marrow!!!!  My boy is now in clinical remission!  : )  I would say that this new drug Logan was testing out is a raging success!
