I think Luke is making progress. He definitely was not more swollen today and certain parts of him looked less swollen. The doctor said he didn't want to get my hopes up too soon, but he thought it looked like this swelling might be turning around. They are going to be able to give Luke lasix once a day as long as his labs stay good. Tonight he had the biggest response in a long time with a huge diaper. We are just praying for the fluid to keep coming off. He is still eating jsut a little, but still doing well with that. Overall he had a good day today and a good night last night. God is so good to answer our prayers for each day. We come to him with so many little requests that seem so big to us and he hears each one and cares about every little happening in our lives. Thank you for praying for Luke and for us. We are truly blessed by so all of you and strengthened by your prayers.

Oh how I keep you all on my heart. I want Luke to get well and come home. I picture him playing outside. I guess it is okay to think and pray that way as it gives us hope each day that he will continue to get better. Stay strong and remember I am praying for you all everyday. love gloria

Susan,
You are a true blessing to so many people - family, friends and people you haven't met. Your strength is unbelievable just as your faith is. Poppy & Nana are heading our way tomorrow to celebrate CB's First Holy Communion on Saturday. We will also celebrate Luke's growing progress. Prayers & Blessings,
the Heath gang
