Good News!

The doctor just called to say the medicine they have Luke on that was to help close this hole between his lungs and heart is working! Praise God! They were trying to reverse some pulmonary hypertension and it is working. We thought he looked better, so it was good to get some reassurance. This is a video from this morning.

What a precious little one! Luke and all of your family are in our prayers. When my son was born, he spent time in the NICU because of a heart abnormality, Today he is 27 and a great blessing. I am praying for the same outcome for Luke.
Love,
Claudia Wood

Hi Susan and Eric. Was really taken back when I heard that Luke was born. Just seemed like yesterday I found out you were pg. Connor and I are sitting her watching the little video and I was praying, and connor finished it with an amen. Then he said, its ok grandma he will grow up and be a man." Out of the mouths of babes. God bless you both with faith and grace. And Luke with complete healing.
Love you all, Lee

What a wonderful video. I was disappointed when it stopped. He really was looking around! Very bright eyed. We pray and thank God for what a fortunate and blessed baby he is to have two parents of such great faith. Plus, njo baby could ask for a better big brother and sister. Much love to your family. God bless and keep your family.

We were so happy to see a video of Luke. How precious he is--so wide eyed and alert. Praise God for good news on the medication he is receiving. We look forward to meeting him and playing with him at all of our Sunday School socials. The girls can't wait.
