Update July 13th


Praise God because I KNOW he is working in Luke!! This week we continue to notice little improvements once again, here is what we have noticed:
*He is "alert" more and making more sounds every day. Keep in mind though we still need prayers that his eyes will open. There are times now where he will go for an hour or two just responding and making sounds to what we are saying to him. He sounds so cute!! Mike and I swear yesterday we even heard him say, "Yeah," but have not gotten to that again. We just keep on talking to him, hoping to get a word again. I think he is probably sick of our voices.
*His left arm had been really tight, but is loosening up a lot. The therapist today was amazed at the improvement over last week.
*He had two more crying spells this week.
*He is holding up his head and legs a lot better (his left leg is also getting a lot better.)

The most exciting thing for me is it really seems like the left side of his body is starting to come along! Next week we will take Luke to an eye doctor to get his opinion on Luke's eyes...please pray for positive news! We also will be making a video this weekend of what he is doing to send to the NACD, and have our phone interview with them this week.

Thanks so much for the continued prayers!

Tammy, Dawnie and I have all been a little lost without being able to check on Luke the last couple days. So glad the site is accessible again to us. Luke, keep up the good work and of course, we will keep praying. Becki

Luke it was so nice visiting you today. You are doing just great. Was so nice watching you trying to talk to us and I know you answered yeah to us a couple of times. You reached out to us and took hold of my hand. That was so exciting to see you do all these things. Keep up the good work Luke. We love you so much.

God Is GREAT, Luke is truly the most amazing Gladiator ever! I was panicked when I wasn't able to get on and check Lukes status. I look for updates every day and then forward the news to several people that are continually praying for Luke and your family. We are so excited for all the daily improvements, it's just a matter of time for sure. Thank you Stacey for being so faithful on taking the time to keep us all informed. We are the Christian crusaders for Luke from Washington state.
