The Decision

Day 40 - Hospital Stay
Day 35 - Intubated

I've been thinking about what to write today. Yesterday's meeting was as horrible as expected. I held up pretty well for the first half of the meeting, not shedding any tears. I thought I've cried enough the past week that my tears are all dried up. But towards the end, I couldn't hold up anymore. Deep down, we already know what our decision is, it's just hard to officially tell everyone about it to make it final.

With this heart-wrenching decision, comes with many, many, many more other decisions that we have to make and will affect our family. I'm not sure how we are going to do this. All I know is, we will be spending Easter together as a family.

Virginia, you always keep Logan's best interest in mind. You based your decision on your love to your son. Though it's a heart broken decision, you're doing the RIGHT thing. You've exhausted every option to bring him a decent quality of life. Please honor Logan's effort and give him the dignity to be a brave young boy. Though his physical health is deteriorating, in the short time he is with you, he has acheive an outstanding job showing you how much you can love someone that is not perfect. He gave you an opportunity to draw out the inner strengh that you never know you have. He shows you how precious life is. And the bonding between mother and son will always be there. No one can take it away from you. Please hang in there, you're in my thought always, cousin Peggy

Logan couldn't have asked for or received any better parents than the two of you. I'm glad we could to something to help out for Easter. All our love to you!

It is a good idea, the whole family celebrate the Easter together, but remember the real meaning of Easter as a Catholic.
You have done everything possible to show your love not only to Logan but to all one surrouding him. He will be proud with you whatever your decision about his future.
Your job is not done yet, writing a book should be your next goal.
God bless you and your family
