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.

Things

Just a very quick update to say that Logan is not doing well, medically. It crushes me to write that, so I'll be very brief and just say that he's still in the ICU, not particularly with it, and having trouble breathing. His lungs periodically collapse and he de-sats (oxygen level drops suddenly). He was placed on a BIPAP machine this evening, which gives him consistent pressure in the lungs to help keep them inflated. The medical goal at this point is to just get him home again, which looks like it may or may not happen

But of course, we hope for so, so much more. As much as your heart is breaking reading this, mine is breaking thousands of times more. Thank you for continuing to pray for Logan and for our family as we walk through this incredibly dry, painful valley.

On the bright side, today he is 5 and a half. Happy half birthday, Logan. We love you.
