Logan Rosenquist

At six months old, Logan Rosenquist, who had been born without complications, was suddenly completely limp. His parents had seen symptoms of what they thought was a common ear infection and watched his condition worsen. Logan was only able to move his eyes; the rest of his body had shut down. Horrified, his parents took him to his doctor where they began performing tests to discover what could be causing this sudden onset of his nervous system’s failure. His parents feared the worst.

After ruling out several infant diseases, doctors discovered that Logan’s spinal cord was attached to his tailbone. This caused his spinal cord to tether as Logan grew. Knowing that action had to be taken quickly, he was immediately taken to surgery where doctors took on the tedious and risky task of separating his spinal cord from the bone. Thanks to the doctors’ expertise and precision Logan has been given the chance to grow normally.

After his surgery, Logan would have to begin developing his motor skills. His therapist at Hendrick Center for Rehabilitation has been with him every step of the way. He went from learning to sit up, to crawling, to using a walker for assistance and now to using crutches all under the caring supervision of his therapists. Logan is now a vibrant three-year-old. Nothing can contain him as he tirelessly plays and laughs. He won’t let anyone do anything for him; he goes where he wants to. When he is at Hendrick Center for Rehabilitation, Logan doesn’t even know he is in the midst of therapy. He thinks he is just going to join his therapist for playtime. Thanks to Children’s Miracle Network, Logan is learning to walk, using equipment he would not have if it were not for generous donations made right here in the Texas Midwest.
