Holding on to Hope for Logan

Logan Michael Mott was the passenger of a vehicle involved in an accident early Labor Day morning, 2021. In the evening hours prior to the accident, Logan spent time with family cooking out and visiting around a fire. Logan left to join his friends in Cumberland, WI later on that night. Little did any of us know, this would be the beginning of the fight for his life.

 

It is a parent's worst nightmare. The call in the middle of the night that your child has been airlifted to Regions Hospital Trauma Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Logan suffered a significant brain bleed as the result of the accident. Logan's medical team has been working around the clock to provide him with the best care and outcome. Logan's parents, David and Brooke, have been by his side since they were notified.

 

If you have ever heard a mother's cry and plea for her child's life, you know only the tip of the deep, heart sinking pain that Brooke is experiencing. Every emotion floods her as she continuously thinks about each happy moment she has shared with her son, and also each regret. Just tonight, Brooke reminded me that the petty and irritating issues we sometimes go through with our children are nothing in the grand scheme of things. Never take an ordinary moment with your child for granted as they are all truly gifts.

 

Logan is a funny, caring, and patient young man with a great love for his family, friends, and animals. If there was any way that any one of us could take his place so he could be well, we would without hesitation. The only thing we can do now is be patient and keep the faith. We ask for prayers and positive thoughts as he fights for his life, and his family navigates these scary new waters.

 

With these days will come the need for David and Brooke to be at Logan's side as much as possible. While Logan's family has given to these charities in the past, they now find themselves on the other side, one they never fathomed they would face. David and Brooke are two individuals who would give everything they could to help someone they love through difficult times. I am hoping we can also do the same for them by easing some of the financial stresses that will be incurred. We sincerely appreciate every message, prayer, phone call, and thought. The support you have shown to us means the world and we thank you for Holding on to Hope for Logan.
