homeward bound

hi everyone!
first i want to say thank you so much for all of the warm wishes and presents that have been sent my family's way in the past few weeks. logan loves the messages, cards, and visits, and i think they've really helped keep his spirits up. he is recovering pretty strongly from his first treatment, and after moving from ICU to the oncology floor, most of his IVs were taken out, so things got a little simpler. i visited him a few times this past week, and though he's sleepy a lot because of his medications, he perks right up when he has visitors. this past sunday, ty, logan, and i all played a game of madden 04 (a football video game) as the patriots, of course! we destroyed the jaguars in the match up so hopefully that bodes well for tonight's game; logan is obviously pumped to watch it.

so, for an update: logan is expected to come home from the hospital tomorrow. it was originally thought that he'd be coming home thursday, but the trip keeps getting pushed back because the doctors want to make sure they get the medications just right so he'll be comfortable while at home. he does need to go back into boston on wednesday for some sort of appointment, but then he'll be at home to recover for a few weeks before the next treatment starts. it seems (for now, you never know) that logan will come back from boston tomorrow.

we're really excited for him to be home, since he's been in boston for 2 and a half weeks. i'm sure he'll want to see as many visitors as he can, but we have to keep in mind that his recovery is what's most important. my parents are probably going to figure out a way to manage everything once logan's settled in. my mom has been unable to update the blog while in boston because the wireless internet at the hospital blocks social networks, but she will be updating more thoroughly in a day or two. for that reason logan has been unable to read all of the comments on this site personally, but we have all been telling him who's writing what, and i'm sure as soon as he feels up to it he'll be reading and writing on this blog all the time.

once again thank you for all your support! we are blessed to have family and friends like all of you.

Thanks for the update Izzy. I just spoke to your papa & I guess his return home today is still "iffy" He needs to be as confortable as possible when he gets home so I guess we should'nt try to rush it. Thanks for being such a good help to your mom &dad I'm sure they appreciate it!! Our best to Logan.

Hi Logan,

I also thought that if you wanted any of the text book material from your classes recorded I would be more than glad to do this for you!
I wish you and your family all the best!

Hi Logan,
I have ben thinking of you every day since i heard about your illness while I was in England with my son and grandkids for the holidays.
I was diagnosed with a bad cancer (that is what my oncoligist called it) 3 years ago and had surgery and 6 months of Chemotherapy. Today I'm doing fine and I know that all the support and love from my family and good friends had a lot to do with my recovery.
You are such a special guy and I've loved you ever since you were the little "mushroom man" at Rudelle's. You have a great family and so many people who love you so keep your spirits up even though it's sometimes hard to do. Give my very best to your Mom and Dad, Clemie and Izzy.
I live in Maine now but when I come down to the Cape I hope to see you.
Lots of love from one of your old Rudelle pals,
Carol
