Welcome the Logan Strong Blog
From Logan's Mom
Super Mom Contest & Logan’s Feeding Therapy
It’s been a while since I have written a blog post. Like a long time…. I meant to write an update last summer after our family vacation to Maine. Then I meant to write one for Logan’s 6th birthday in November. Then I was going to write a 2022 update...
Celebrating Logan’s 8th Birthday:
A Journey of Miracles, Growth, and Joy Today, we celebrate Logan turning 8—eight incredible years of defying the odds, overcoming challenges, and bringing so much light into our lives. Every year, his birthday reminds me of how far he’s come, but this past year has...
Seven Year Cancerversary
I recently came to the realization that last year, amidst the whirlwind of life's events, I inadvertently skipped writing a 6-year cancerversary blog post for Logan. This oversight caught me off guard when I went searching for it, only to discover its absence....
SuperMom, Feeding Therapy and more….
We all have challenges and opportunities, this journey has opened my eyes to the incredible strength and resilience that not just Logan, but so many children and families show every day. Their stories deserve to be heard, and that’s why it’s so vital for platforms...
Logan lost his first tooth!!!!
NO….the tooth fairy did NOT come! This is a sensitive subject. Let me explain….. We were told several times, many things that Logan would never or could never do. He has overcome every worst-case scenario thrown at him. Not to mention, we were also...
5 year cancerversay – a bit late
Five years ago on March 8, 2017, my life changed forever. I start this blog post the same way every year….” on this day x years ago, my life changed forever.” There really is no other way to explain how that day changed the course of the rest of my...
I cried myself to sleep…
I cried myself to sleep last night…….. This year has been challenging so far, to say the least. I haven’t worked a full week all year between traveling, Covid, and taking care of Logan. I’m a mom first, yes, but I am also a professional, a wife, a friend,...
Just one more f*cking thing….
Yup, I said it! Just one more f*cking thing. I swear this will be the title of the last chapter of my book….if I ever get caught up on it! UGH! It’s been a while since my last blog post and I figured now was the best time to update, being the first...
I am not okay….
I am not okay. I have not been for a while. I am so alone. I have no one to talk to. No one to help with Logan. No one understands how I feel or what I go through. These past few weeks have been crippling. I hate that my...
Four Year Cancerversary
Today is a tough day for me, trying to stay busy and focused.... just got this message from GOD and it couldn't be more fitting for today: Today, Jennifer, God wants you to know that it is time to finally forgive yourself. You've carried the guilt, the shame for...
Logan is 4 and so much more!!!!
My goal for 2021 is to write a book about our journey, I need to make time to write more. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say, it’s just that my time is extremely limited! I have been researching and speaking with different people, published writers, of...
Three Year Cancerversary
Three years ago today, our lives changed forever. Our hopes and dreams of having a “normal” child was crushed! Being told your child has cancer is the one of the worst things a parent can hear, nonetheless about your first-born child! Being told that your child...
Logan’s feeding issue
Ok, so the point of me writing this is not to get anyone in trouble but to share with you all what is going on, in as much detail as I can! I will not share the school district or school that Logan attends (if you know, that’s fine) as I am not looking to get anyone...
Two year Cancerversary
Two years ago, today, my life changed. This has been a very rough week for me, anticipating what today signifies. While I am beyond ecstatic for our friend Gracie that will be ringing the bell today. Today also brings back the scariest memories of...
6 month’s post–treatment/MRI Scan
WOW…feels strange to even type the title of this post....6 months post-treatment!!!! I know it’s been a while since I have posted any sort of update. We are just trying to survive. Both my husband and I work full time, he plays hockey and I’m in Rotary and we have...
Bell Ringing/Port Removal Eve – #mamastrong unplugged
So many mixed emotions about tomorrow. Having a child with cancer and going through continuous treatment is all I know. I will always worry if his tumor will come back. I will always worry if his development will ever catch up. I will always worry what my son’s...
The Final Countdown….
The Final Countdown…….. WOW! I can’t believe it’s been four months since my last blog post. I just had to read it to see where I left off with sharing our journey. There is so much to update you all on; mostly good, nothing “bad” per-say, just some...
Happy Easter….my journey to God!
I was initially going to write this as a Facebook post but after really thinking about what I wanted to write, I wanted to make sure I was able to share it with all those that have been following our journey. Let me start with how I was raised; my father was (is) an...
