Luke was diagnosed today with pulmonary hypoplasia. This means his lungs and chest are small. Whether they are too small for him to breathe - we won't know for a while . We are prepared for whatever is God's plan. We know Luke has a purpose in this world and has already touched many lives.
He was supposed to get 6-8 tests today but early this morning they changed his ventilator to a different type & didn't feel that he was up to removing the tube or continuing all of his tests. He was heavily sedated and for the time being he is intentionally paralyzed, it was difficult to see him like that since he had no expressions & was completely motionless ( he did not look like himself ). They hopefully will be able to complete his testing by tomorrow. We feel that God's hand was in this since it would have been difficult to complete his tests with him awake because it upsets him when they mess with him. They may try removing his tube sometime tomorrow, we will be praying that it goes well.
Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth give way & the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.
Thanks for keeping up with us today was a day of alot of tears for Susan & I, we continue to be blessed by each of your comments & all of the prayers we are receiving. We have not lost hope in his full recovery & thank the Lord for giving Luke to us as he is.

Eric & Susan - we love you guys and will continue to lift you up to the Lord. We know God is in control of Luke's situation and His plan is perfect. When we can't see His hand, we can always trust His heart.

Luke's name is anointed and his spirit is touching all of us. Your tears are because of this most incredible love you have for him. Be of good spirit and don't let what the eye see's interfere with what your heart knows. Lord God, place your healing hand on Luke, cause him to amaze his doctors with lung development that can not be explained in no other way than by Your hand. In Jesus name, Amen.
Eric & Susan -- we love you and are in constant prayer for you and Luke. Stay strong in the Lord and rest in His strength.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. We cried just reading this. We will be praying for you everyday through this difficult time. I check the blog almost every day after work to see what progress has been made.
Susan & Eric,
Christian and I have been praying for Luke and your family daily. He is precious, and we think about him often.

Luke Edward, just as the Lord breathe into the nostrils of Adam in Gen 2:7, I ask him to breathe into your lungs to enlarge and heal them as perfect. Your mom, dad, Sydney and Hogan have been by your side every day. I know all the testing and eamining is a bummer,but you have the best treatment that medicine and God have available. So just hang in there and remain strong like a Heim and a Howard. I love you, grandson Luke. Papa Ed
Eric, Susan, Hogan, Sydney, and precious Luke- We pray for all you constantly. I check the blog several times a day. The boys are always asking for updates, especially Austin. Thank you for including us in Luke's daily life. As you can see from all your friend's postings you have so many people praying for all of you. I pray that God will heal Luke's lungs and for God to give you strength. As I was looking for a bible verse to send your way I opened a daily devotional book for March 6th and the verse was the latest that Eric posted.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 KJV
We love you all,
Matt, Dee, Austin, Spencer and Braeden Denney
