Logan: My Little Miracle Man

Yesterday, we got the greatest news from Logan's Neurosurgeon: his Arachnoid Cyst in his brain is completely gone!!! The doctor said it's a miracle! Last year when we saw the doctor, he said it looked like his cyst had flattened, but that the lining was still there, and there was a chance it could fill with fluid again. Yesterday, looking at Logan's head CT, there is no trace of the cyst, and his brain has continued to grow, filling in the void where the cyst had been located. The doctor told me that these cysts don't just go away. There have only been cases of patients with Arachnoid cysts that have gone away after acute trauma to the head, like in a car accident. In many of those cases, there was sub cranial pressure that built up because of bleeding in the brain. The only trauma to Logan's brain we could pin point was a really hard fall into the window seal last year. The doctor thinks that fall probably fixed it. What a lucky boy! If he had fallen when he was 6 or 7 years old, his brain would have been done growing and wouldn't have filled in the gap where his cyst was, but because he was still young enough when it happened, there is no trace of the cyst!

Logan was surely blessed by our Heavenly Father. I know he has been healed through the power of the priesthood. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father and know he answers my prayers. What a miracle to not have to worry that some day his cyst may cause pressure in his brain, and we would have to operate to relieve the pressure. No more head CT's, MRI's, or yearly visits to the neurosurgeon! Thank you, Heavenly Father! I love my little boy with all my heart, and am blessed daily by the joys of having him in my life and getting to be his Mom. : )
