Hi there! Thanks for stopping by our page to support Logan!
Logan has a rare disease called Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) or "Brittle Bone Disease". People with OI are missing the gene with collagen, causing their bones to break very easily. As they get older they can also experience problems their hearing, lungs, and teeth. Logan has Type 3, which is the most severe type a child can live with. He was born with 10+ fractures, and in his 21 months of life has had 8 more fractures, including breaking all of his long bones (femurs, humerus) at least once, some twice.
Since OI is so rare, there aren't many places in the US that have a special clinic for it. We were able to take Logan to the OI Clinic in Omaha, Nebraska this past month. They developed a plan for him and want to put rods in his femurs and right humerus to strengthen the bones and provide some stability. The rods give him the best chance to eventually learn to walk! We will be traveling to Omaha again at the end of February so he can have the surgery.
Since Logan can't walk yet, we ordered him a manual wheelchair in October of last year. Unfortunately the company was unable to deliver the chair by the end of 2020 so we had to pay the company $2,500 just 2 days after we came home from our Omaha trip. We are grateful Logan has the chair to give him the much deserved independence a toddler needs, but all of these big medical expenses are becoming a lot for our family.
The State of Oregon doesn't recognize his diagnosis as a "disability" because it doesn't affect his cognitive function. He is unable to receive any funding through the state, including insurance and SSI.
We would be so thankful for any donation you are able to give Logan. The money will go towards paying for his wheelchair, the cost of plane tickets for the 3 of us, and of course paying the hospital bill for this very important surgery. If we are able to reach our goal by May 1st (Logan's 2nd Birthday) that would be amazing!

A million thanks,
Bree, Ryan, and Logan Mosgrove
