Help Hope Live for Logan Reese

May 17, 2026

Hello everyone. Logan's done really well these last few weeks taking it easy during his "immobility phase". It was a nice break for everyone since we weren't rushing to therapy and trying to squeeze in all his daily exercises. His cast was removed on Monday, May 13th and the incisions are all healing nicely. He got cleared to return it therapy, so next week we will re-start his local therapy 2x/week and then we will heading back to Baltimore on May 31st for another 2 week intensive outpatient session.

Logan also has his Pre-K Graduation next week from his school, All Star Learning Center. We can't believe we will be getting him and his twin brother ready for Kindergarten soon, but we're so proud of all they've done!

All here have generously donated already and we're so appreciative of that. However, we're hoping you can help spread the word to other family members or friends who would be willing to assist on our lifelong journey to better Logan.

On May 29th, in honor of Hope in Action, donations will go further than ever: Help Hope Live will cover the credit card fee for all donations made at Help Hope Live.

Thank you as always for the support.

Last week we traveled up to Baltimore, MD to our specialist team at John Hopkins and he underwent a 7+ hour surgery to explore the nerves in his left arm and transfer some with the hope to gain more function in his left arm and fingers. Thankfully, the surgery went as planned, zero complications with anesthesia , his respiratory abilities, or the procedure itself. They were successfully able to transfer a nerve from his forearm to the closing action of his fingers. Two other transfers were aborted - one because it simply wasn't responding/working the way they thought, but the other because it was working correctly and on it's own, just hasn't been able to get the rewiring connection yet (rotator cuff- out and upward motion)Now comes the healing, then therapy and a long waiting game - as this could take up to 12 months to see if the nerve transfer was successful. Fingers crossed, no pun intended but we are hopeful and excited to hear about the next steps. The surgeon mentioned there are other options, that aren't time sensitive, in order to get him more function in his arms.The plan is for the cast to come off in mid May and then back to Baltimore/Hopkins for specialized therapy to get a boost on recovery. Otherwise, Logan remains strong willed and continuing to show incremental improvements with some "walking motions on command" for a few steps with support with his legs which is keeping up optimistically excited for what's to come down the long road there too. This has led us to begin the process of attaining a gait trainer which would help support his upper body at home or out and about while giving his legs the ability to walk if and when we can retrain his body to do so.Look forward to the next update later in May/June for how his recovery is going so far and his next bout of Intensive therapy. Please continue to check the galleries to see photos of updates and progress. As always thank you for the support as without your help none of this would be attainable for Logan and giving him more hope in his future.
