Loving Logan by Making a Planned Gift

What do Shea and Ken do when their child reaches milestones that once seemed impossible? They tell everyone, they celebrate-and they even give back.

When their son Logan was just 3 weeks old, he was rushed to the medical center with a blood clot in his brain that caused seizures and strokes. Shea and Ken feared the worst for their baby boy.

"He had four brain surgeries," Shea says, "but amazingly, we were able to take him home six weeks later. Cincinnati Children's saved his life."

Now 7 years old, Logan is exceeding expectations with help from our experts in neurosurgery, neurology, ENT, therapy, ophthalmology and the Perlman Center-our multidisciplinary clinic that addresses the needs of kids and adults with physically limiting conditions. He goes to school and loves to read. Even though he's not talking, he and his family are learning to use an assistive communication device.

Shea and Ken are so grateful for their son's care that they've raised funds for our new Critical Care Building and are naming a room in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Logan's honor. But they wanted to do even more.

They decided to include the medical center in their estate plan, creating a long-lasting legacy of support. "The Legacy Planning Team at Cincinnati Children's helped us through the whole process," Shea says. "It was as easy as could be."

Because of generous families like Logan's, we're able to give critically ill children the life-saving care they need.
