From September to December

September – October:

In my first Blog Post I discussed a little bit on how Logans masses were identified but now I am going to be more detailed. So my mom identified the bulge on his chest and when she touched it it was rock hard. They then went to see a doctor where they did an X-ray on Logan and identified a soft tissue pleural mass on the lining of Logans lungs. He then had a CT Scan where the results identified 3 masses (4.9 cms, 5.9 cms, & 7.2 cms). My mother then discussed with a pediatrician who advised her to get a biopsy done in Houston (Texas Children’s Hospital). Logan then got his biopsy done by a pediatric oncologist and two weeks later Logans results identified the masses most similar to a cancer called Ewing Sarcoma. At this point my family was quite worried because Sarcoma cancers are very rare but we stayed strong through it. My brother and mom then met with a series of doctors devising a treatment plan for Logan. The Next step for Bubba (a nickname I have for my brother) was chemo. Logan did his first treatment on October 16, 2019.

November – December:

Throughout November and December Logan continued his six series chemo treatment plan. His weeks consisted of getting chemo, going home, watching his blood cell count and making sure he does not spike a fever. It is important to consistently check if Logan spikes a fever when his white blood cell count is low because that is a possible sign of infection which is very dangerous to Logans body while under treatment. If Logan did spike a fever during his series of chemo he would have to be taken to the ER to make sure everything is okay. Its a tough process that fluctuates constantly but my mom did an amazing job and continues to do an amazing job at taking care of my brother. Also making sure the house is always clean while Logan is in this process because any germ can be dangerous to Logans health especially while his blood cell count is low.

My brothers birthday was on December 3rd and all his friends and a non-profit organization called SuperRami came to give my brother a birthday party. It always feels amazing knowing how much love and support Logan has.
