This month we would like to tell you the story of a little boy that at only 2 years old, has shown great strength, hope and determination. He is a warrior and has brought together thousands of individuals from all over the world through love and prayer.
Here is Logan’s Story:
Logan had his first surgery at only one month old. On Sept 11, 2017, he had a band placed around his Pulmonary Artery. After that, he was sent home so he could get bigger and prepare for the big surgery ahead. At the age of 6 months, Logan went back into the hospital to have another open-heart surgery, because he was born with transposition of the great arteries, VSD, ASD, and Pulmonary Stenosis.
During this surgery, they were able to do the switch and fix the other issues. However, the doctors did not realize how damaged his mitral valve really was. After his second surgery, everyone started to believe that things were looking up for baby Logan, but that wasn’t the case. Things quickly started to go south. His mitral valve was not repairable and so his body started to shut down. His organs were failing and there were multiple times that they thought they were losing him. So, the doctors decided to put him on ECMO (life support essentially), which by the grace of God kept him alive by supporting his body until his surgeon felt that he could go in again and place a mechanical valve.
After 103 days in the hospital, Logan finally got to go home. A year later he was back in the hospital, but thankfully no open-heart surgery was needed at that time. Now, here we are one more year later and he had another open heart surgery. He has now had a total of 5 surgeries. This time, there was another scare and they almost lost him again. He is currently at Riley waiting for the okay by his doctors to go home but he seems to be doing very well!
Over the last few years, it has been a very difficult, emotional and traumatic experience for Logan and his family. It has even been difficult for those that are not close to the family, but have been following Logan’s journey from the beginning. I can remember my mom and I pausing our movie and immediately going on to Facebook each time Logan’s mom, Sam, did a Facebook live video to update everyone or ask for prayers. Sometimes, we were heartbroken and crying along with Logan’s family while we watched him struggle to recover. Other times, it was good news and we felt happy and relieved.
Here is a comment from Baby Logan’s mom:
“I know that God has already promised me that Logan will rise up and he will preach to all the nations and he will bring hundreds of thousands of people to Christ. I am holding on tight to God's promise.” ❤
