Dear Blog,
Please forgive me, I have neglected you so much this past month :-( The week before the last treatment (3 weeks ago) Logan was really sick. He had fever for 3-4 days (101-103), and ended up in the ER for IV fluids and antibiotics. He ended up missing a whole week of school! And u know Logan is sick when he doesnt talk for 3 days, it was a miracle :-) It was fun trying to keep him away from Dustin...NOT! I was so nervous Dustin was going to get sick. Dust wasn't the lucky one, I was... His last treatment (2 weeks ago, as Logan was getting better) I woke up in Tulsa and thought I was dying! My body hurt so bad I was just about in tears, I had chills, and was nauseous. We still had to get his injection then we could go home... It was one of the longest days of my life...I felt so bad and just wanted to be home. When I finally got home I found out my temp was 102.4...I went straight to bed. I was sick for 4 days... My mom helped with dinners for us, but I didn't eat for 4 days. Tyler was our nurse, he made sure Dust and I had water, Gatorade and anything else we wanted. He was really awesome!! Dustin did OK with his treatment, his 3rd day was pretty rough but he is not going to let cooties get the best of him!
The timing of me getting sick couldn't have come at a worse time...Dustin felt like crap and his blood counts were low due to the chemo so he couldn't be around me, so I was banned to our bedroom and he stayed in the living room. I felt awful because I couldn't take care of him, but hopefully I will stay well now.
We are in Tulsa now, he just had his treatment this morning. It went well, he is tired today. After chemo today we went to eat and for those that know "picky eater" Dustin u are not going to believe this but we ate at PF Changs! And he liked it!!! I really think the Spidey juices have not only changed his taste buds but also since when would he even have WALKED IN PF Changs, he is actually trying different foods!
After today he has 2 treatments left then a PET scan to re-evaluate. Believe me he is counting the days...if u ask him Chemo SUCKS and that is putting it mildly.
That's all I have for now...I promise to do better on posting.
Delana :-)
