Logan is a very adventurous and active boy. Prior to his diagnosis, he was always playing outdoors and was active in a lot of sports. He loves hanging out with friends and being silly. He loves soccer, basketball and volleyball. He loves Pokemon and enjoys playing video games like Fortnite. He has a slapstick kind of humor and he laughs at people being silly or ridiculous.
Logan was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) in February of this year. His symptoms started with dizziness and nausea and then progressed to vision issues and stiffness/numbness on the left side of his body. His mobility has not regained normalcy since then.
He has had several scans and a brain biopsy. He has had 30 radiation sessions and plenty of required lab work. He is also on a clinical trial and he is taking a clinical drug. During spring break time he had an infection and ended up inpatient for 10 days. He cannot walk or stand unassisted and cannot sit without support. He is currently in a wheelchair. He also gets tired easily.
Cancer has absolutely changed our lives in so many ways; not all are bad but our stress levels have certainly increased. Logan is also very conscious of how he looks due to the diagnosis (hair loss and weight gain). It has been very hard for him going from active to static and he feels like he is a prisoner in his own body.
