June of 2014 our family’s lives changed forever.  Logan, our previously happy, healthy, 5 year old little boy suddenly collapsed and became unresponsive. He was immediately rushed to the hospital where they did a CT scan of his brain and gave Logan’s parents the most devastating news possible. The doctors had found a golf ball sized tumor on his brain stem and it had hemorrhaged causing Logan to become paralyzed on his left side.  Logan was first given no chance survival past three days and his tumor was thought to be inoperable. Logan’s family was devastated.  Luckily, his parents were given a second opinion and that changed everything.  The new Surgeon suggested we try removing part of the tumor hoping to at least extend Logan’s life. On June 25th, 2014 Logan went in for surgery with no one knowing what the outcome would be. After a grueling 8 hour wait the surgeon came out with a grin on his face and the most incredible news we ever could have imagined… They had removed the entire tumor. He was Cancer free!  Logan is a real life MIRACLE!  The past two years have been one trial after the next for our brave boy.  He has had to relearn to walk, talk and even swallow all over again, but he does it all with a big smile on his face and shows the world that you can conquer anything if you have faith and put your mind to it.  This past year our sweet Logan has suffered from multiple strokes caused by the radiation therapy Logan was given to help make sure his cancer was gone. He was diagnosed with a new condition called Moyamoya and underwent a 2nd major Brain Surgery March of 2016.  Although it has been a very hard year on our family, we have become stronger and closer because of it.  Logan will always have battles to fight but we will be here and ready to stand strong next to him.  He is an incredible boy and we are so proud to call him our son.

Logan also has 5 amazing siblings who are literally his everything.  This journey has been really hard on all of them but they have taken everything head on with smiles on their faces and support in their hearts for their Brother, never complaining.  The bond between our children has grown so strong and is like nothing we have ever seen.  They love spending time together playing outside and they especially love sports and camping.

Below is the wish list for Logan and his siblings.
