On May 18th 2006, our lives changed FOREVER. In the days leading up to then, Logan had been VERY thirsty, having accidents at night and very irritable. I knew the signs but I didn't want to admit it. I made him a doctors appointment, making sure that he didn't have anything to eat or drink before we got there. His fasting blood sugar was 348. The doctor immediately called an ambulance and made plans for us to be transferred to
Arkansas Children's Hospital where my worst fear had become a reality....Logan is TYPE 1 DIABETIC. We have learned so much in the past 7 years and we continue to learn every day. I have always told Logan that he is not different from the other kids, he just has to do things differently. Logan is a smart, polite, ambitious young man who has a vision of CURING DIABETES. Logan is very active in our local FFA (Future Farmers of America), in 2012 he won 1st place and Grand Champion with his pig "PING". He also loves to volunteer with the Knights of Columbus, Susan G Komen, and JDRF.
