We continue to be blessed by God in Luke's progress.He has had another day of small progress. He is back to eating about half of what he was getting before they stopped his feeds last week and tolerating it well. His chest x-rays continue to look better and his blood gases were good today. They were able to lower some settings on his vent this afternoon. It is so good to have a couple days of stability.


I know God has placed people in our lives for different reasons and there are so many friends that are helping us so much. From the wonderful comments on the blog, emails, cards, food,to phone calls and visits. You are all just the earthly arms of God surrounding us with support. Thank you for reaching out in such a difficult time. We pray God will bless all of you in a special way this Easter as we celebrate our Living Lord!


Ephesians 3:14-19 " For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you being rooted and established in love, may have power together with all the saints to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ and to know that this love surpasses knowledge - that you may be fulfilled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

It is so wonderful to read such good news on Good Friday! I am trusting God for continued healing and strength in Luke's lungs this weekend. God please grant Luke victory over that ventillator.

We are so happy to see Baby Luke opening his eyes and making progress! It brings peace and a smile just knowing he is doing a little better. As we head towards Easter weekend, just know that God's arms are wrapped around Baby Luke... He is so special and beautiful and we will continue as well to say our prayers for his healing. May God bless you all and Happy Easter! Please send our love to Baby Luke and tell him we said Happy Easter. Melissa, Pete, Ava and Bella

I am still praying for all of you and I cannot get Luke off my mind. What a beautiful picture today. I ask God everyday to let Luke get stronger. God is good and we have to remember it is in his time not ours and this is so hard. May God bless all of you this Easter. I love your scriptures. You all stay strong. My heart goes out to you. Love Gloria Aultman

Sounds like you are getting baby steps of healing! I will certainly keep praying for you and hopefully Luke will go home soon! :)

One of my friends who fasts one day each week and prays for a specific person during the day had Luke as her prayer person for last week. She prayed for him all day!

He is looking better in the pics!

Happy Easter!
