Logan's Story

Legg Calve Perthes Disease

I have started this blog so all of Logan's friends and family can follow his story
It all started in the Fall of 2011 and I noticed Logan was hurting when he played soccer. I thought that it was a growth spurt...yee ha, until one day I watched him walk to the bus and he was limping and his foot was turned in. Something was not right. We took him to the doctor who did a X-Ray and noticed some fluid and swelling in his hip and referred us to an orthopaedic. We then went to the Orthopaedic who stated he had Legg-Calve-Perthes, a disease that effects his hip. Off to Children's Boston we go. Dr. Kasser stated we need to rest the hip so a wheelchair was ordered, and we would see how that worked. Well it didn't. the next month we went and his hip had fractured and collasped. NOT GOOD. In order to help Logan heal he needs surgery and he will be in casts for a couple of months, then he will need another surgery and put back into casts. It will be a long road for him.
