Great News from Vanderbilt

Updated 1/9/08 4pm
Logan's surgery is over and he is in ICU. The tumor was completely removed and believed to be benign. Further lab results will verify. To the surprise of the surgeons, the tumor was not a Craniopharynginoma. Rather, it was a rare tumor only documented 35 times in the world. It was not intertwined with the brain stalk and was easily removed without damage to the area. Obviously, these results are far better than anticipated.

Logan is visiting with family and friends, alert and talking. It appears that the vision in his right eye is intact at this time. Tests will provide more information in the upcoming days.

Watch for more updates.
