15 years ago today I was blessed to marry my best friend Kelly. We have been through more than most couples and have grown stronger and will continue to do so. When Logan beats this cancer for the second time we will take some time to celebrate our love. Love you Kelly!
Treatment Day 1

Treatment Day 1

Day 1
Mom and Logan headed up to Seattle Children’s at 6:15 this morning to start the first round of experimental treatment.  Unfortunately there was a miscommunication on the start time.  They will not have the chemo ready until 11 this morning.  Kelly had some choice words that I cannot repeat since this is a family friendly blog.
It’s surreal that we are back up in the hospital starting treatment.  As I type this they are preparing a poison to put in my son’s body.  Logan continues to amaze me with his mental strength.  I was talking to him yesterday about starting chemo again.  He asked why don’t they just do the same treatment when I was 5?  I explained to him that his body has built up a wall against that treatment and most likely would not respond.  He shrugged his shoulder and went back to doing something on his phone.

Thank you Jeff for taking Logan to the car show this morning!
Logan is doing great…Family BBQ tonight.  Chemo got bumped back until Tuesday because the hospital did not have the medicine in stock.  So that means an extra day to relax and enjoy time with his Nana & Papa.
Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers…

Happy Friday Everyone….
Logan, Mom, & Nana are already on their way home from Seattle.  Logan needed a quick x-ray to check the air around the lungs and no news is good news.
Logan is doing fairly well.  The doctors said he would/should be on crutches for 2 weeks.  Of course we are just over 1 week out and he refuses to use them….amazingly tough!
His lower back is really hurting him   Not sure if it because of the way he is walking (limping) or if the cancer is causing this.
Monday Logan starts his experimental chemo treatment.  Mom & Logan will be going to Seattle Children’s Hospital almost daily for 9 weeks for about 7 hours a day.  He will be getting a chemo that requires they flush his kidneys 2 hours before & 2 hours after.  He will be getting the chemo 2 hours in between.  He will be losing his hair again in approximately week 2…Logan’s response to this is hopefully when my hair grows back I won’t have this callac.
Thank you everyone for your continued thoughts and prayers.

Update…..
So the issue with the air around the lungs is possibly caused by the port they placed last Thursday in surgery.  They are hoping his body takes care of it…..so surgery avoided for now….  He is getting a baseline x-ray now and then will go back Friday for another one to see if the air is gone.
Video above was taken last night.  A co-worker and great friend of the family, Jeff , brought over his car because Logan loves sports cars.  Watch at very end of video the amazing smile….and yes that is his little brother in the passenger seat.

Nothing is going as planned…..
Kelly, Logan’s Papa, & Logan headed up to Seattle Children’s at 5:30 this morning for CT scan and meeting.  We thought it would be an easy/quick day up there but that is never the case.  Person that called to set-up meetings never told us he was not supposed to eat/drink so they delayed CT until 10.  They met with Dr. Julie Park and went over experimental treatment schedule.  Going to be spending a lot of time up there.  Basically starting this Monday 9 weeks of outpatient chemo treatment everyday for approximately 5 hours in clinic per day.  They expect Logan to lose his hair again week number 2.
CT took place at 10 and they are concerned about air around Logan’s lungs.  Kelly is awaiting more information from doctors but he may need to go into surgery today or tomorrow to relieve this and find out what is causing it.  Insert bad word here.
Logan is currently in getting an EKG as I type this (electrocardiogram to test heart).
I will update everyone once we find out more….

I told Logan to send me a selfie at work and this is what I got:).
Logan & Kelly head up to Seattle Children’s Hospital tomorrow morning.  He will have a CT scan at 7:15 am then they meet with Dr. Julie Park to discuss that scan as well as next steps in treatment.  For those that don’t know we live about one hour south of the hospital and traffic never is that good.  Kelly and Logan will be leaving the house around 5 am.  Kelly is usually up anyway so she is good with that.
