2-year-old boy dies after serving as parents' best man
Washington: The terminally ill two-year-old son of an American couple
who served as the best man at their wedding last week died on Tuesday.
Logan Stevenson was born with a rare genetic disorder, Fanconi anaemia
that often leads to cancer.
"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," Logan's mother Christine Swidorsky said in a post on her Facebook page.
"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," she was quoted as saying by Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Logan's parents, Christine and Sean Stevenson, had moved up the date of their wedding to ensure he would be alive to share in the ceremony held on August 3 in Jeannette, a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Doctors said on July 26 that Logan Stevenson has one to two weeks left to live.
Logan has been in and out of hospitals since he was born on October 22, 2010, weighing just 3 pounds.
Logan had also lost a kidney to a tumour. His once big, beautiful curls are no longer atop his head.
Logan's story was picked up across the world.

This buffalo was sold for Rs. 25 lakh
Lakshmi from Rohtak in Haryana has a new home. She is
headed to Andhra Pradesh with a farmer who bought the prize buffalo for
a whopping Rs. 25 lakh.
Lakshmi is a "Murrah," a special breed of buffalo known for high milk yield. Her owner, Kapoor Singh, of Singhwa village in Rohtak had bought her for Rs. two lakh two years ago and says she is "special."
Ever since he named her Lakshmi for the Goddess of Wealth, says Mr Singh, she has brought him much money. The buffalo, the farmer claims, yields up to 32 litres of milk every day. She has also won many prizes at shows at the state level, earning Rs. three lakh in prize money.
Among those who have praised Lakshmi at such shows are Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar and Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, he says.
And now, he has earned a profit of Rs. 23 lakh with the sale to the farmer from Hanuman Junction in Andhra Pradesh. He says even Lakshmi's calf fetched him Rs. 3 lakh.
The government veterinary in Mr Singh's Singhwa village says more farmers here are now breeding Murrah buffaloes. Haryana is known as the home of the Murrah, which are now bred all over the world.
