If not one brother then another;) Yesterday afternoon Peyton thought it would be a good idea to jump off the couch with a hard plastic straw in his mouth. Yep…he did not have a successful jump and the straw cut the pallet in his mouth deep all the way to the bone. We brought him into the ER and they called in a Mouth/Throat specialist. He decided the cut was to deep to heal on its own. With that being said Peyton was prepped for surgery and had 8 stitches put in the roof of his mouth. The doctor was glad he went that route. Once he could get better look when Peyton was under he realized how deep the cut was. Dad & Peyton got home late and for obvious reasons we all had a long night. He is resting on the couch now watching his 30th+ episode of Mickey Mouse (thank god for DVR).

The best part through the whole ordeal is Peyton kept saying just like Lo Lo. When they gave him his iv, put the gown on, etc. He did amazing through everything. I guess it help growing up in a hospital….

Logan is now battling the swine flu. He was diagnosed on Monday and been out of school all week. He has had fever for 3 days of about 103 but today is doing much better. He will be back in school on Monday. Although the flu sucks…it is nothing for what he has been through;) He is amazing!

Hello all! Things in the household are getting back to normal if there is such a thing. Logan’s tests are all clear (including bone marrow in which we just found out late this week). Logan is gearing up for Halloween. This by far is his favorite holiday. He is going to be a boxer (see above). His costume arrived Thursday in the mail and he has not taken it off since….seriously.

Save this date! March 6th 2010 Kelly & I are going to host a St. Baldrick’s event to help raise money to fight childhood cancer. It will be at the Ram in Puyallup’s South Hill. Our goal is $10,000! Send out invites to all, tell everyone. We will have professional barbers there shaving heads (nor required). Time of the event will follow soon. Also if you know someone “famous” (besides these amazing kids that fight everyday) please contact them and invite them. I am going to contact local radio to “push” event. Thank you all for your continued support and prayers.

Hello All ……

We are getting ready for Logan’s 3 mth testing. We had a hearing test last week…. Logan’s hearing did not change at all. This was great news. As for this week, he has a full day of kidney testing to check the quality of his kidneys tomorrow. Thursday we are at Children’s Hospital at 8am with an EKG, Heart, Ct scan and MIBG injection. Friday…. again 8am, blood work, meeting with his doctors, bone marrow biopsy…. finishing the day with a 1:15pm MIBG scan. We usually get results in between 4p – 6p on Friday for all tests except bone marrow, these results come in next week. Logan is doing very well, enjoying school… getting ready to start swimming lessons.

We will post results as soon as we get them in…… Thank you for all your support!

Hello all! Interesting week this week as Logan’s little brother, Peyton, acquired Hand, Foot, & Mouth Disease…..then gave it to Logan. Sounds a lot worse than the name. Both boys had (Logan still does) sores in their mouths that make it hard to eat. And in Peyton’s case hard to sleep (all night parties for him). This disease is most commonly found in Toddlers and is very contagious. Since Logan’s immune system is that of about a two year old due to his stem cell transplant, we were anticipating him acquiring it.
Other than that things have been going great. Logan loves second grade. All of Logan’s tests are scheduled for October 7th, 8th, & 9th. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Most people know that I am a season ticket holder for the Seattle Seahawks….with that being said I am unable to attend the first game of the season this Sunday. While I was listening to my favorite local sports station, 710 ESPN Seattle, today it was mentioned that one of the hosts that is new to area was not going to be going. After taking a lot of “ribbing” from local fans about not going to see/witness the loudest crowd in sports I decided to call and offer my tickets on the air. My only request in return is that the host make a donation of his choice to Seattle Children’s Hospital (100% of proceeds). He agreed as well as called out his fellow host to match and his station to match! Click on the link to read more about these gentlemen as well as the station they work for. Thank you Mike & Brock! The 20,000 plus people that have viewed Logan’s website since this last November also thank you. We all want to find a cure for childhood cancer!

Logan James Lewis 1st Day of School…Big second grader!
Sorry it has been so long since last update. Things have going great. Logan had a very busy & healthy summer. He did a basketball camp, went to Disneyland, Legoland, Sea World, Animal Kingdom, 2 Padres Games, Camping 2 different places including seeing Grandma & Grandpa in Eastern Washington. He rarely was inside all summer. Whenever he was home he was outside playing with Chloe and or his little brother Peyton (who turned 2 at the end of July).
Logan’s next round of scans/tests at Seattle Children’s Hospital are scheduled for mid October. These ones will be extensive including hearing & heart test as well as all the regulars.
Thank you all for your continued thoughts & prayers!
