We are at the Hospital…yeah how fun. Logan is doing great. He already has found a video game and is currently playing it. Pac-man car racing. It was really hard for us to come back this time since we had our two week break. Logan was loving life, going to school, playing w/ friends etc. Now back to getting sick, staying in isolation, and trips back and fourth to Seattle. I guess we can look at the bright side and know we are that much closer to finishing everything. Also another bright spot is all the amazing support we have received! Last night we went to a awesome performance at Rogers High School (dad’s old school, go class of 91)! All proceeds were donated to Logan. It all came about through cousin Sydney talking about Logan to a gentlemen at the YMCA that was watching her in the daycare. That gentlemen, Jeremy, who is in a amazing band thought it would be great to do their annual fund raising concert for Logan. It turned out great. Logan went up on stage (and loved it) and thanked everyone on the microphone. He also told them about his brother Peyton. Thank You Jeremy & friends for everything. You touched the lives of many but most of all an amazing 5 year old boy!

Wow what a great get a way! Logan was treated like a prince by the Westin & PF Chang’s. The Westin put us in a suite on the 17th floor w/ a panoramic view of the Seattle skyline, Olympic mountains, city of Bellevue….wow! We got up to our room and started to get situated when the first knock on the door and a platter w/ cookies and milk for Logan (and a bottle of wine & cheese for the parents) arrived. We then went shopping and stopped at PF Chang’s for dinner (Logan loves white rice). The manager Jenny greeted Logan and bought us dinner as well as made Logan a personal sundae and gave him a tour of the kitchen. Logan loved it! We then watched the snowflake festivities outside our hotel. We were pretty tired after that so we headed up to our room. When we got there room service again knocked on the door and surprised Logan w/ Spiderman sheets for his bed. Just has Logan started to calm down two more members of the amazing Westin staff knocked on the door about 8:30pm and they brought Logan a tray full of Jello as well as Starwars figures and Starwars comic books. He thought it was awesome. In the morning Logan ate a big breakfast of fresh blueberries and eggs and then as we checked out he received one more gift…a Starwars Light Saber! THANK YOU TO WESTIN IN BELLEVUE AS WELL AS PF CHANG’S, YOU MADE A LITTLE BOYS WEEKEND (AND HIS PARENTS)! View Pictures here!
Many of you follow Ben Townes blog as well via Logan’s website. Ben had a scan yesterday to get ready for his surgery. The doctors found pockets of air between the lining and the wall of his intestines. There is not supposed to be air there. They admitted him for seven days to monitor it as well as fight it w/ antibiotics. During this time he cannot eat anything. Please send your thoughts and prayers to Ben & his family.
Happy Friday to all! Logan is doing amazing. Today is his last day of school for awhile since we start chemo next week, then his school goes on winter break, then stem cell transplant. This afternoon we are going to escape for a fun night in Bellevue. The great staff at the Westin in Bellevue has surprises for Logan lined up. There is also festivities up there where soldiers come out, a light show and then a bunch of bubbles that represent snow. Logan is so excited. If we are lucky maybe he will get his picture w/ Santa. We of course will get pictures to place on the blog. It has been so nice to have this little break from all the hospital stuff. We just got our schedule for the next month or so and we will be very busy w/ chemo, tests, & then stem cell. Thank you all for your continued support!
Thank you cousin Andrew & Ms. Peterson’s art class at Aylen Jr. High in Puyallup! They made all the origami birds to display in Logan’s hospital room while he is up getting his stem cell transplant.
Sorry we have not updated the blog lately. We have been enjoying being a normal family again. Tonight we went to Zoolights at the Point Defiance Zoo with Logan’s friends Alexa & Elise and their families. Logan had a great time and was sleeping in the car 5 minutes after we left. He has been going to school every day and loving it. Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers!
Day 7 of no hospitals / appt / or any illness. We are having a great time relaxing and having our family whole. Logan has been eating, we love to see that. We are still keeping him on his NG tube. He is still alittle guy and we need some more weight on him, but he is doing very well. It is nice to see him have interest in food again. Logan’s papa in New York had a stroke last night, so Logan called him this morning in the hospital to give him some moral support, it was cute. “Hospitals aren’t scary Papa”. * Papa is doing well and is planning on being released this afternoon. Logan is back to school tomorrow for another whole week, what a blessing. No appts. next week either, we are not scheduled back until the 10th, yeah!
P.S, I LOVE YOU PAPA, be sure to put stickers on the backs of the doctors shirts. Love, Logan
Great day for everyone! We get to relax this weekend as a family too! Tomorrow we are going to a Santa Parade downtown and then a tree lighting to follow. Logan is so excited. Right now I am cooking Kelly dinner and we are going to relax and watch a movie after the kids go to bed (anything I cook her turns out great because we just compare it to the hospital food). Have a great weekend!
Another great day for Logan! Great news as well….Logan was granted his wish from Make A Wish Foundation to go to Disneyland. He is scheduled to go down at the end of March just after Easter. More information to come about the details of his wish. I wish everyone that has prayed for Logan could go.
