The words the doctor used today were that he was happy with Luke's progress. Luke's kidneys continue to be working. He had some great diapers overnight - more than he has had in over a week! His cultures continue to not grow anything so there doesn't seem to be any infection now. I think they will all be final by Monday. Today he seemed very comfortable - unless they move him, then his saturation level goes down and he needs oxygen. I'm sure it wouldn't be too comfortable to be moved in his current situation. His swelling hasn't gone down yet. It will probably take time to move out of his system.
I was reading My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers where he was talking about faith. It says - Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led. But it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of faith, not of understanding and reason - a life of knowing Him who calls us to go.
We don't know where this road we are on leads but we know who we are following. God is carrying us all each step of the way with Luke securely in His arms. We continue to walk in faith.

Susan,
Just thought I'd share that Luke was the topic of the soccer mom circle at Rockwall soccer yesterday morning! Jane Braddock, my mom, and a few other friends and I have all been praying and following the blog. Yesterday when we all saw each other at the game, we didn't even say hello, the first thing we all said what that Luke had wet diapers!! We were all so excited and joyful! You have a whole "Texas team" praying and pulling for you all!!
Much Love,
