field, went to Minnesota to pre-
pare for the transplant, which oc-
curred nearly three weeks later.
Logan underwent a course of
rigorous chemotherapy and four
days of full-body radiation to kill
his bone marrow, leaving him de-
fenseless against infection. Once
the donor's marrow was trans-
fused into his little body, doctors
and the family waited for his
blood counts to build.
'When you start out with a
count of zero and within two
weeks you have something like
200, you become ecstatic," Ms.
Weiss said.
The counts continued to rise
until a month after the trans-
plant, when Logan's body began
to reject the donor's marrow.
"You can't imagine what that
is like until it happens. Time be-
came so critical, and the wait was
unbearable," she said.
A second transplant was or-
dered after the donor agreed to
undergo the marrow harvesting
procedure again. By the end of
May, Logan's counts began to rise
again.
"That Logan is here with us
now is a miracle," Ms. Weiss said.
"A lot of the kids don't make it."
Ms. Weiss, never before a be-
liever in prayer, said she is con-
vinced that it is one factor that
helped Logan to survive. Prayers
were offered for his recovery in
synagogues, temples, Catholic
churches and prayer circles in
several countries.
"I believe it helped absolute-
ly," she said.
Logan continues his recovery
in Bloomfield Hills, enjoying the
company of his sister, Layne, and
brother, Devin, and visits from
grandparents Henry and Mala
Dorfman and Lily and Michael
Weiss.
Meanwhile, two other bone
marrow transplant patients with
ties to the local Jewish commu-
nity continue their trek toward
health while another searches for
his match.
Huntington Woods resident
Lauren Cohn has been in Seat-
tle in treatment for almost two
months, after a marrow donor
was located. The 4-year-old suf-
fered a relapse of acute lympho-
cytic leukemia in the spring.
Her family could not be
reached this week for comment.
Ava (Segal) Vinton, a 40-year-
old former Oak Park resident
with ovarian cancer, won her bat-
tle with an insurance company
and is undergoing an autologous
or self-generated bone marrow
transplant in Seattle.
Ms. Vinton's sister, Sue Wa-
genheim of Walled Lake, spent
two weeks with her after the
transplant was performed. Al-
though Ms. Segal became very
sick from the chemotherapy doc-
tors administered to kill her bone
marrow, she has quickly recov-
ered and is now in the process of
regenerating her immune sys-
tem. She is expected to return to
her home in Montana before the
end of the year.
"We are very positive about it.
She is on course for what she has
to go through," Ms. Wagenheim
said.
Through an appeal in the com-
munity, Ms. Wagenheim was
able to raise $8,000, which will
help defray expenses not covered
by insurance. -
"I really want to thank people
for their wishes, their prayers
and their donations," she said.
"My sister was buoyed by the
support from people here."
Coby Levi, a 3-year-old from
Teaneck, N.J., continues his
search for a match. Although
several drives held on his behalf
have netted matches for other
cancer patients, his unique blood
characteristics have excluded
him from finding a perfect
match.
He is the grandson of Benno
and Ruth Levi of Oak Park.
This weekend and next week-
end, 20 more drives in cities from
Los Angeles to New York will be
held for Coby and three other
Jewish people searching for bone
marrow matches. The goal of the
organizers is to add as many
Jewish names to the National
Marrow Donor Registry as pos-
sible.
A Match For Life, a local dri-
ve in late June for Lauren and
Coby, netted almost 8,000 entries
into the national registry. And a
registry started in 1985 to find a _
match for Brandon Weiss has
added more than 13,000 names
of possible marrow donors.
`There was a match for Bran-
don, but the donor was sick and
couldn't donate," Ms. Weiss said.
"We hope that maybe someone
else's match can be found on this
registry." ❑
