A couple from Pennsylvania are left with bittersweet memories of their 2-year-old son who was given just weeks to live died just two days after he served as best man for their wedding.
Logan Stevenson stole hearts across the nation when he appeared in a pinstripe suit-clad suit on Saturday, and was carried down the aisle by his mother. Their wedding celebration consisted of dozens of donations from family, strangers and businesses. The parents said their grateful for all the support, both for their son and for their wedding.
Logan died on Monday following his long battle with leukemia.
"I held him all day he was comfortable with his medication then at 8:18 my son took his last breath in my arms Logan passed away im so sad upset and im in disbelief he is with angels and he's in no more pain. no more sickness no more hospitals. we love all of u for all your prayers thank u all for caring god bless u all! And most of all god bless Logan I'll c u in my dreams my son." his mother, Christine Swidorsky, posted on Facebook just before 12 a.m. Tuesday.
Logan's tumultuous life began on Oct. 22, 2010. At 14 months, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and had a stem cell transplant in July 2012. Several months later, Logan was diagnosed with a kidney tumor. In March, a kidney was removed.
During a trip to the emergency room this month when Logan felt ill, a test revealed a mass in his remaining kidney. Logan has Fanconi anemia, a rare disease that often leads to cancer.
"His entire life has been nothing but hospitals," said Kellie Young, the boy's aunt, according to Tribune Review.
