1 year!





















Wow! Can you believe it has already been a year since Logan's surgery! This year has been emotional, trying yet so, so fabulous. The morning of surgery was so hard. Sue, Dr. Mosca's nurse stayed with Logan during his surgery which made me feel so much better, knowing someone who I love so dearly was in the OR watching over my son. I was nervous and anxious. Our pager went off about 2 hours after they took Logan. They paged to say they had started and that he was doing great. Right then I felt the weight of this situation lifted off my shoulders. It was a long 6 hours waiting but Logan came out of surgery great.
The spica cast sucked. It was a long 4 weeks.

What a journey we have been on this year. From surgery, to prosthetic fitting to PT. All of this is done, WE ARE DONE!!!!!!!!
Logan is running, jumping, climbing and doing everything any child with 2 fully formed legs is doing at his age.
I am so happy we live in the US with all the tools Logan will need
I am so happy we live in Seattle and have the privilege to work with Dr.Mosca and his wonderful team
I am so happy my child is healthy and vibrate
I am so happy we were chose to amputate.
I don't miss his left foot. I don't feel like our life sucks or it is unfair. I don't feel sorry for my son . I never want him to feel sorry for himself. I want him to grow up to be a strong, confident man.
I feel blessed and excited.
I am so lucky to have such an amazing child who overcomes anything. He is brilliant, happy, kind, complete and absolutely perfect. This year was hard and emotional at the beginning but now everything couldn't be better If we had to go back a year and do the amputation again, we would.Ampuatation isn't the end, but the beginning to endless opportunities and mobility.I really cant believe it has already been a year.
