About Us

Our family of 6 (dad Adam, mom Sherry, big sister Abby and little brothers Isaac and Brady -- who was born on December 14, 2010) joined the ranks of pediatric cancer fighters when our 4-year old son Logan was diagnosed with a dangerous and highly malignant form of brain cancer in mid-August 2010. Logan's cancer journey began abruptly on Sunday, August 15, when his right eye suddenly turned inward during dinner. Twenty-four hours later, we were checking into Children's Hospital Oakland and finding out that life sometimes takes you places you'd never, ever imagine yourself going.

Round 4, Day 4

This cycle has seen Logan receiving his meds at 6:30 AM each day, so is it a coincidence that I woke up at 6:30 and felt compelled to post this morning? Today is Methotrexate day, the final drug of his series and as you know, the most brutal. Since I'm not there, I don't know if he's on schedule or behind (as his pH level has to reach a specific point before they'll administer the med), but please pray for easy handling and no side effects.

His response to this drug is really key when it comes to determining whether he comes home again next week or weeks from now; we need no mucusitis (and it's possible, since he never developed it last cycle), no serious pain and early clearance. The earlier it clears his system, the better. I'm on edge because CHO oncology changed their protocol for Methotrexate administration after cycle 3, so this is our first time with the new system in play. Please pray for amazing results so we can get him back home again asap and keep him here with us until cycle 5 begins.

Thank you for your prayers. I feel like there are many other things I'd like to type, but honestly, I'm exhausted. Isaac is sleeping in my bed for the second night in a row, and I don't want to wake him with my frenetic click clacking.

Blessings a'plenty.
