Luke continues to amaze the hospital staff & his parents :) Susan & I can't believe how far he has come with his swelling, he still has a long way to go but we are so encouraged. His condition improves with the reduction in swelling, it caused so many complications. We are watching his eyes like a couple of seeds that were planted in the ground, just waiting for them to emerge. His swelling will need to go down a good bit more to see them, but we can see them moving around under his eyelids now.
Matthew 5:14-16
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp & put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds & praise your father in heaven.
I believe that for this short moment in eternity Luke is shining God's light on many people. Maybe he is just a little like the moon, in how it reflects the light of the sun & lights up the dark of the earth at night for a short time, allowing those who could not see a chance to see. Because of this we praise our father in heaven. We are so very thankful that he has used Luke in the way he has & continue to pray that God works miracles not only in Luke's life but in the lives of all of you who have showered us with your affection & prayers.
He will be weaned off his sedation for more than a month & his steroids will take a long time to be weaned as well. I had a tough time hearing the nurse mention that he will be off of the medications by June. That seems so far away, April 29th seemed so far away a coule of months ago however & the Lord's grace has carried us this far, I trust it is sufficient to carry us as far as we need to go.
I am going to try to find a picture from the 1st day in this hospital, the peak of his swelling & today so that you can compare them & see more clearly the progress he has made. God Bless all of you, I don't even know some of you but you have touched my family deeply with your concern. Only through God is it possible to be blessed by a stranger in this way. Take care!!

Praise the Lord indeed! The picture of Luke is so beautiful. We weren't even sure if that was a picture from Monday or before the swelling began. As much as we are elated to see the picture and hear such good news, we cannot imagine how you must feel! Your family's faith has spoken so much to so many. Loved the pix of Hogan and Sydney with their little brother. God bless and keep you. Love to all your family. Mike, Cynthia & Aimee
Please know that we rejoice with you, even for the tiniest of improvements because we know they are not small at all, really, they are indeed miracles! Thank you again for sharing your journey and your faith; we may never know its reaches. But they are far.
We have jumped for joy with you over the last couple of days, and continue to thank God for Luke's progress and to pray for his complete healing! God is so good, and your faithfulness is blessing us all!
"...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6
I am so happy for you all. Luke is so beautiful. God is so good and is working in the midst of all this with each and everyone that is involved. God is not only helping Luke, he is teaching us that prayer is powerful. I look forward to each day to see the progress Luke will make and I know the whole family is so excited. God bless you all. love gloria
Wow! I can really see the difference in the photos. That is so encouraging. He is indeed a little light reaching so many. Thanks for your words and the testimony of the faith and peace God has given you. We will continue to lift your family up in prayer. -Michelle
Luke is so precious and we are happy you have held him in your arms! We will continue to pray for you and Luke! Great is God's faithfulness! Gary & Julie Butler & family
He is looking so much better! What a MIRACLE!
God is Good!!!
We will keep lifting you all up.
A big hug from the Sweatman family!
His sweet face is coming back! We are so thrilled with his progress. Could we see another hand shot this week? The hands are special to Kendall (age 6). Caroline (age 8) is concerned about when his swelling is gone, will he have stretch marks? I have assured her that I think everything will be fine, God makes babies with very stretchy skin! Just some random thoughts from some TX girls in love with little Luke.
Blessings,
Jane
