So far it seems the steroid is helping Luke. They were able to go down on the pressure on his ventilator lower than he has been in weeks and hope to get all the settings lower overnight. If that all goes the way the doctor wants it to he is going to try Luke on a conventional ventilator tomorrow. This will allow him to do some of the breathing and hopefully allow them to bring him off some of the sedation. This way he can move around more and maybe more of the swelling will come off. This all may or may not work and if it doesn't he said we could try again after a few more days of steroid treatment. His labs looked good again today and he is resting very well. He doesn't de-sat as much as he has been when he is messed with, even picked up. This is progress since a week or so ago they had to cancel his twice a day x-rays and go to once a day because he couldn't handle being picked up for the x-ray. We do see a little less swelling today so that was good. We are praying that the ventilator switch will work tomorrow. Please join us in praying for this as well as Luke's blood gases tonight, rest so his body is ready to breathe and make the switch and wisdom for the doctors. We ask God to bring healing to Luke's body.
I go back to one of my favorite verses as we make our requests known to God.
Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition make your requests known to God. And the peace which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

We will boldly go before our Lord and ask for healing for Luke, Wisdom for the Doctors and the amazing Peace that trancends all understanding for your family.
I love it when you give us specifics to pray for. It gives God the chance to shine, that no one can doubt! We will be praying tonight
We continue to lift you and Luke up in prayer. Luke is also prayed for at our Tuesday morning breakfast as well as Wed. night mens ministry at church.
Susan and Eric,
I will send out an update to our sunday school class today Warrior Luke battles on, Protected by angels I am sure, like a Centurion Leader keep wisdom, compassion and courage, and bravery, and vision for a specific goal at the forefront. Lead the doctors with Holy Spirit Inspired Ideas and medical decision making, that will direct progress and specific results. Standing in Faith knowing God does not make junk in any of us and Luke is perfect in his eyes and should be perfect in ours, and know what ever result we will still love you Lord.
Love Aunt Carissa
Yes, I printed his picture and asked everyone to pray. Yes, I will pray everyday. I emailed the site, with an attachment. But some say they can't open it. How can we tell them the site name. Thank you.

I have been praying for Luke and passed prayer requests on to PRC for prayer also. I also pray for your family. God's miraculous power comes forth when we can't do it, but He can.
