Tough decisions have been made…

Tough decisions have been made…

After meeting with Dr. Pinto today, it is very clear that the best thing for Logan is not to move forward with the antibody treatment.  Both Dr. Pinto and Dr. Park believe it would do more harm than good.  This decisions was based on many reasons, but the primary reason is the fact that this antibody finds tumors and then attacks as a pack.  If that happens with the tumors on his lungs, then Logan will most likely end up in ICU with a breathing tube.  The team does not want his final days to be like that, and neither do Jason & Kelly.

The plan is to remain in the hospital for a few more days to stablize Logan’s pain.  As soon as the pain is managed, Logan will go home to be with family and friends.  Logan’s medical team is in full support of this plan.  Currently, with his swollen liver – which will continue to be swollen – Logan is experiencing high levels of pain and cannot move.  We are hoping with pain meds we will eventually get him to a place of comfort.

Obviously, this is difficult news for Logan, Jason, Kelly, and Peyton, as well as the rest of the family.  Please keep everyone in your prayers.  We love the prayers and support everyone has shown during this difficult journey.

Logan Update

Logan Update

Jason has asked me to post on this blog for him.  Yesterday, they met with the doctors; as suspected, the cancer has spread and is now in Logan’s bone marrow, as well as his liver and a possible spot on his lung.  They are meeting with doctors againt today to discuss the next steps.  Jason and Kelly have asked for some privacy during this time, as they try to deal with everything in front of them.  Feel free to post comments, thoughts, prayers, etc., but please refrain from texts and phone calls.

Kelly’s parents are flying in from New York today and will be here as long as needed.  It will be great to have them here!

Logan remains in the hospital, as the doctors try to manage his pain and nausea.  Logan is comfortable and getting some rest.

As always, continued prayers are appreciated.
