Yesterday was a GREAT day!

Yesterday was truly a day to celebrate! Not only did Logan have his staples removed...but we found out for SURE THAT THE TUMOR IS BENIGN!!!!! Hooray! I cannot beging to tell you what it's like to actually be able to take a deep breath just for that sake of doing so, NOT because you are trying to suppress butterflies!
Dr. Thompson also mentioned that it may not be the rare Pituicytoma (35 known cases in the entire world) but it could be an even RARER tumor called a Schwannoma. They have sent the tumor off to a Dr. Peter Berger at John's Hopkins (the pathologists at Vanderbilt actually trained under him), a renowned pathologist, to see what he thinks it is.
I always knew Logan was "one of a kind"!
He continues to do a little better each day but also continues to tire very easily. This should last another couple weeks most likely. But that's okay, it just means his body is doing what it is supposed to be doing...HEALING.
You know a 17 yr old boy is not feeling well when he can't even play a video game! : )
Logan may return to school at the end of next week or the following week on a half-day basis...I think his body will let him know what it can and cannot tolerate.
That's about it for now, I will update again in a few days!

I have a young child who was diagnosed with epilepsy last year. He had a seizure of unknown origin and I know we breathed a huge sigh of relief when his MRI showed it was not a tumor. I know how nervous we were beforehand and cannot imagine what your family has been through. I pray for Logan and am glad he is doing so well.
