This is the evolving story of our dear little Logan. We know that a lot of you are concerned about him, so please have a look at this blog regularly, and you will be able to see the latest news as soon as we are free to put it on.
Logan James Wilkieson
Today Mummy told me I have a Blog. Good! More toys to be washed! All my clothes and toys have to be washed before I can play with them. I push things out of my cot and then they come back clean.
Mummy said Uncle Phil had put my blog on a machine which people can read. Will it come back clean? Mummy told me Auntie Katie will put my words in to this machine, I hope they don't shrink!
Today I am in a big building with lots of nice people who keep talking and touching me. Mummy says these are nurses, I think I love my nurses. If I smile they come and talk to me, wait until mummy has shown me to blow kisses.
When I was born Mummy and Daddy forgot to give me a gene? This would have stopped me from getting a sore bum, mouth and eyes (Auntie Katie will tell you about this ( Auntie Katie - Logan has inherited a faulty gene, which prevents his own immmune system developing. Until now his body has been able to fight off diseases and germs as it had some of his mum's immune system in him from when he was born. Now this has gone and anything he get such as nappy rash, thrush in his mouth and conjunctivitus, which are all common in babies he cannot fight off) I don't want Gene in this cot with me, Mummy and Daddy look after me good. My Mouth and bum was sore, glad mummy remembered the right cream to put on
I did not like my milk and started to get hungry, Mummy and Daddy and me had to go and see a man who pushed a sharp bit in me and got some red stuff out. Mummy was told we had to go in a van with two men on a drive through the green fields to this building we are in with my lovely nurses.
Mummy and Daddy have told me I have to stay under my machine all the time (Auntie Katie will explain ( Auntie Katie - As Logan has no immune system, therefore no way of fighting off germs he is being kept in a sterile room. He has what looks like a big extractor fan over his area, this ensures the air he is in is sterile.))Mummy has said lots of people will visit me but they will have to stay behind the gate, its like being in a zoo (I don't know what a zoo is, but I have animals in my cot) Mummy said these people might have germs on them I hope these are toys.
Mummy, Daddy and Grandad are the only ones to come into my space, they MUST have clean clothes on and wash before touching me. They wear silly hats and aprons on which I try to get off.
I had to go in a van and go to sleep, when I woke up they had put some toys on my chest. These toys are for putting medicine in me and for taking red stuff out. My lovely nurses come and play with these, mummy and me counted three tubes.
Mummy and Daddy have told me I will lose my hair. This will stop Mummy using the machine that eats Daddys hair on me. Chemo will make me grumpy and poorly but mummy and daddy will be there, and my lovely nurses, after this I will get some more bone marrow (Auntie Katie will tell you, she is getting good at this( Auntie Katie - Logan is currently recieving steroids and antibiotics to get rid of any outstanding infections he has in his body. Once he is clear of infections he will begin a eight day course of Chemotheraphy this will destroy any existing bone marrow he has. He will then recieve a Bone Marrow transplant.))
I will be here for 4 to 5 months and miss my christmas but Mummy and Daddy have said that my birthday will be twice as good with two lots of toys and a party to see all my friends again. I will tell Auntie Katie what is happening to me so she can update my blog?
I hope you will all leave messages for my Mummy and Daddy to read to me.
Hugs and Kisses
Logan

Hiya babes hope your doing good. Loved reading your blog and we will keep logging in to check your progress. Jack told me to tell you that your team won the local derby on saturday, beating Everton 2-1, fourth in the league now. He cant wait for you to be better so he can teach you to play football. Jack says he hopes you are alright and hopes you get better soon. Thomas says he hopes you also get well soon and he cant wait to see you. He wants you to show him how to ride that tractor, he is sooooo jealous, he has never been on a tractor. See you soon Logan, be good.
Hello Logan it's Auntie Sandra hope you are getting better, make sure you keep everyone one on their toes up there and get up to as much mischief as you can whilst you can still get away with it I've read that you are poorly because your mummy and daddy have forgotten to give you a gene to stop you from getting a sore bum, eyes and mouth.

Hello,
I am a freelance magazine journalist and I am very interested in speaking to you regarding writing an article about little Logan - possibly for Take A Break magazine. Is this something you may be interested in? I see you are hoping to generate publicity about Logan's illness, so obviously this would be a great way of doing that. There would also, of course, be a payment for the article.
If you would like to discuss this further please call me on 0844 3138046 or email me at louisa_gregson@yahoo.co.uk or through my web site www.truelifetales.co.uk
I hope to hear from you soon,
I hope Logan is doing well,
Louisa x

Hi Logan sorry we have not been to see you yet as we have been busy as we have just moved to Scotland. We have a room here that is big enough for You, Mummy and Daddy so hurry up and get better so you can visit us. We are going to come and visit you this Friday, I know we won't be able to come into the room but we will be able to wave and chat to you ( and mummy of course.) Well goodnight and sleep tight and we will see you on Friday.
Lots of Love from Grandad and Nanna xxxxxxx
