Tonight was a tough conversation. During the All Star baseball game they honored community hero’s before the game….of course cancer came up a lot. Logan then asked about cancer & dying…. I was honest. I told him all those great people are out there trying to find a cure so nobody ever dies from cancer. Then….he asked about his friend from Seattle Children’s….Ben Towne. This whole time Kelly and I have not said anything about Ben’s passing. Well tonight was the night as well as answering the questions of why & what. Logan’s eyes watered…I cried. We talked & talked. I could type a lot about our conversation but that is something I will hold close to my heart.
Currently Logan is attending vacation bible school for the week here in Puyallup…first time. He is really enjoying it. As we finished our conversation Logan said tomorrow he is going to talk about Ben with God when they say a prayer and tell God to say hi to Ben.
Tonight I am a very proud father. My son is understanding this terrible disease he has beat as well as understanding life……
Thank you all for your continued thoughts & prayers.
Logan’s scans remain clear!
Please keep Logan in your prayers as we get ready for his quarterly check-up to make sure the word is still CANCER FREE or REMISSION! We have the appts. this Thursday & Friday and of course will update as soon as we get scan results. THANK YOU!
Logan & Chloe cleaning out the fort!
Well the Puyallup Relay for Life has come to an end. Early totals so far show over $180,000 raised! Logan is very tired….he played hard and probably walked 5+ miles. Thank you to all TEAM LOGAN participants!
Logan had to read a story today in front of his class and families….that video is to long but here is a short funny one we caught. He is doing great and as you can see is very healthy. We just scheduled his quarterly check-up for early July….
Logan is well ….. he has 6 days of school left and we are off to San Diego for vacation. A fun packed week full of Disneyland, SeaWorld, Legoland etc…….. swimming! When we return Logan is the honoree at the Puyallup Relay for Life. I am sure Logan will have a fun time at this event. He had an amazing 1st grade year… but we are really looking forward to summer. Logan just lost his 2nd top tooth…. cute as ever. Week of July 6th we start Logan’s 15 month scans. We will update with vacation pictures and dates of scans and results.
Thanks everyone!!! All is well…. 🙂
Two updates in one day! Just after the first update Logan lost a tooth! Enjoy!
No news is good news on our front! Logan is doing awesome! He is an amazing first grader, an amazing brother, and most importantly an amazing son.
Logan had the pleasure to help raise money for cancer research when he was the guest auctioneer at a Relay For Life event in Puyallup. Enjoy the pictures!
