*BEN* - The heart transplant committee from OHSU usually meets on Tuesdays but they scheduled a special meeting for today (Friday) just so they could evaluate placing Ben on the transplant list. This tells us that they realize the urgency of his declining heart condition. The doctors have him on a powerful new IV vasodilator to help take some stress off of his heart. He remains in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. Please pray for a positive decision on their part and continue to pray for Ben's heart to hold on until God provides a donor heart.
*LOGAN* - He underwent his MRI yesterday (Thursday) and they put him under general anesthetic They scanned his brain stem tumor and upper spine. He is still a bit dizzy from the anesthetic but came through it fine. No report yet on what the MRI showed. He will probably begin chemotherapy next week.
Thank you for all your prayers, emails and phone calls. Your encouragement to us makes all the difference for our entire family. We are truly blessed.
