A Better Day

Logan woke today feeling better.  His body is continuing to heal and he is pushing the pain med button less and less.  He even felt like visiting with the therapy dog, Hunter.  They were so comfortable that they put each other to sleep!

Logan also felt like working with the occupational therapist today.  They wheeled around the halls and talked video games for quite awhile.  The therapist was very happy with Logan's effort today.  Logan has been feeling so bad lately that the therapist kept being turned away when he would show up to work with Logan.  

The test results from yesterday's platelets were inconclusive.  They don't know if Logan really had a delayed reaction to the platelet transfusion.  I don't believe he did because his oxygen saturation continues to be lower than usual.  I think the change is because of this engraftment. 

We have very modest goals right now.  Today his goal was to drink fluids like water, Gatorade and a yummy Sonic slushy.  Tomorrow he will try to eat a little food.  His stomach is still rather unsettled and he could not keep down the one pill he managed to swallow but tomorrow is another day towards healing and we will try try again.

Since he did some wheel chair exercise today, we will also try some walking exercise tomorrow.  He has had a bad case of vertigo for the past two weeks and walking has become a challenge so a stroll down the halls takes some persuading and a little bribery .
