Today Uncle Pat & Family participated in a run/walk to benefit Children's Hospital in Seattle. Pat did the run and the family did the cheering in the pouring rain. They all made Team Logan shirts. They are awesome. The requests are coming in Pat for people that want a shirt.

Logan had a great day today. We just laid around and relaxed all day. Grandma & Grandpa stopped by to watch the Seahawks win. Chloe and her family stopped by to drop off the money raised yesterday at her party. Thank you to all who donated....$800.00 was raised!

Today is a day that will make a grown man cry....Blood transfusion went great this morning. After that we went to Logan's friends Chloe's 5th birthday party. She is our neighbor and one of Logan's best friends. She asked her parents if she could give all of her presents to Logan. Her parents asked her how about instead we ask family's to donate to Logan. She thought that was perfect. At age 5, especially at your birthday it is all about you. Chloe made her special day about Logan. She is one amazing little girl. THANK YOU CHLOE, MARIO (DAD), WENDY (MOM), & BABY KENNEDY (LITTLE SISTER). Thank you all who attended and wished Logan well. Logan played very hard at the party and had a blast! HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY CHLOE!

Logan (and Mom) had a great day at school. All the kids are partnered up w/ a fourth grader (buddy system). Today Logan met his 4th grade buddy and it went great. Another fourth grader asked Logan what the tube was for in his nose. Logan told him it was so he can eat. The response of that fourth grader "That is cool!" Logan thought that was neat. Logan, Peyton, Kelly, & Grandma are up at Seattle Children's getting a platelet transfusion right now and then Logan and I will go back up in the morning for a red blood cell transfusion. They anticipate that will be it for the week. They might admit Logan next Saturday to start round four of chemo. If this is the case Logan will get to go to school all week.
More great news.....Logan's bone marrow results came back today. Initially the cancer was in approximately 85% of the marrow. The new test showed it is in less than 5%!

Logan had a great day today! He just finished doing his kindergarten homework because he is going to school in the morning. He is also very excited because his mom is volunteering in his class tomorrow. His teacher is also going to talk w/ the kids about his NG Tube (feeding tube) and explain what it is for. The really cool thing is she is a diabetic and also has a tube that she needs to give herself medicine through. She is going to explain to the kids that Logan and her are just a like. She is an amazing teacher! Kelly is also feeling a little better today she got a nice (way over due) break to get a haircut as well as a massage. She looks amazing as usual. Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers.

I just got home from work and was greeted by the picture you see here. Logan is feeling much better. He also ate a little dinner tonight which is great. Energy level is coming back. Still has sickness about twice a day but definitely better! Logan is sitting by me and wants to say "My big brother Josh is really cool and likes doing his alphabet".

This will be short because we are all very tired. Logan had a great day today! He was walking around and playing games. Cousin Sydney stopped by and played w/ him as well. He is keeping down the food that we are giving him through NG tube as well. We should hopefully start to see weight gain soon. Well I am off to bed w/ the rest of the family. Thank you for your continued support and prayers!

Also we have had people ask for our address to send Logan cards/gifts. I am sure everyone understands we do not feel comfortable putting it on the internet. We are going to get a P.O. Box hopefully this week and I will post that. Thank You.

Logan had a good morning today. Mom & him went to hospital to get blood work done (uncle Pat watched Peyton). Logan's counts are all up. While at the hospital though he did get sick. They gave him some medicine that made him very tired. He fell asleep at 12:30pm and woke up at 6pm. While driving home w/ Logan Kelly did have a scare. She looked back and just saw the whites of Logan's eyes. She screamed his name and shook his leg but he would not wake up. She pulled off the freeway and shook him. He then woke up. He was in a very deep sleep. He then was very angry she woke him up. Tonight he is watching cartoons. He has been drinking apple juice and ate some chips. He is very, very weak. As I finishing typing this though he is playing in the bathtub w/ some toys! God we love him so much!

We are home! Logan is feeling a little better. Still a little tired and worn down. He is really getting used to and doing very well w/ the NG Tube. When we got home he wanted oatmeal and Tatar tots and of course he got them. So far he has kept it all down. He has been playing pinball on the computer since he got home. Tomorrow Logan goes back up for a check-up to check blood counts and make sure he is gaining weight.
Today we also met a family going through exactly what we are dealing with. Their son Benjamin is two years old and was diagnosed w/ neuroblastoma just three weeks after Logan. They live in Seattle. It is really nice to talk w/ someone that is experiencing the roller coaster of emotions that we are. The dad's name is Jeff and mom's Carin. Please visit their website above and add them to your prayers & thoughts.

Logan did amazing having the NG Tube put in. He is feeling a little better but still far from himself. Once we get him some nutrition he should start perking up. His mood most the day has been quiet. He played his game for awhile which is a good sign he is feeling better. The only time he really pepped up was when Peyton came to see him. Logan actually sang him a song. He has not had any nausea medicine all day and the only issue we have had w/ getting sick was he gagged on the tube. It sounds like if we have a good night we will get to go home in the morning. The chemo medicine that has made him so sick is called Cisplatin. It is nasty! He will have to unfortunately have it again in his fifth treatment of phase one as well as a chemo treatment in phase two.

Sorry I was unable to update everyone last night, the hospital is having issues w/ online connection. By the way we are back in the hospital. Logan was very dehydrated from being sick so much. Within about three hours they pumped two bags of fluid through him and he only went potty once. We had a good night last night. He fell asleep about 7:30 and woke up this morning at 6:30am. He was up a couple times to go potty. He also woke up a little disorientated. This morning he is still feeling a little yucky but getting better. He has not eaten anything as of yet but did ask for grapes. The nurses are trying to get some. He also saw a pancake commercial and said they looked good. We do not know how long we will be here as of yet. They were unable to put the feeding tube in yesterday because he was so dehydrated. Hopefully today so he gets some nutrition. Yesterday I bought him a big Lego airplane (401 pieces) so we have been working on that all morning. He will help for a little while then take a rest. Well I will update everyone as soon as I can pending Internet connection. Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers.
