A Haircut and Hugs from Sis!

I just had to post this picture here because it is so cute! Last night Mike gave Luke a hair cut. He has his EEG tomorrow, and they stick 30 wires to his head with gel, so he would have had one tangled mess. Since Luke's hair grows so fast, he decided to go with a buzz cut. We were worried his shunt tube would be very noticeable, but it is not too bad. He looks so much like the Lukey we have missed for so long, because his hair has been long since the accident and he always had it in a buzz cut. Then, last night Lynsey decided she was going to sleep in Luke's bed with him, so I took this cute picture. They are still in there peacefully asleep as I write this now. Many of you have asked me how she is doing. She is doing great! She truly does have the faith of a child, and tells Luke everyday, "Don't worry buddy, Jesus is going to make you all better." The other night Luke woke up crying at 4:00 in the morning. We don't know if he had a bad dream or what. I climbed in bed with him to try to calm him down, and about 10 minutes later here comes Lynsey to lay by him and talk to him too. She does not like to get woken up either! She is getting ready to start dance again this week, and was just voted the new Secretary at Desert Mountain Elementary so she is very excited.

We have also found Luke a new chiropractor to see. We met with him on Thursday, and he is great! Thanks to Sonja and Sonya for the referral. Thanks to all of you for telling Luke's story, because you never know when someone you might tell, will tell someone else, who might know someone that can help Luke. Anyway, Dr. Kan, at Hope Family Wellness Center, had some great suggestions for us for Luke's diet as well. We are now only putting him on the feeding pump at night to catch him up on calories. During the day, I am making him smoothies and vegetable purees in the blender and food processor. I think this extra nutrition is going to be key to him. Those of you that have seen him lately, have noticed he has put on a few pounds (for a kid that was always in size slims.) Dr. Kan also did some tests on Luke and his body is pretty out of whack. He is going to work with him three times a week for four weeks, then check for results. He is an awesome chiropractor and very close to us so that is great! I will drop Lynsey off at school then take Luke to see him for his adjustment which only takes about 5-10 minutes.

That's it for now...Luke is awake. Please pray for postitive EEG results this week and more progress from the gladiator. The prayers are working...Believe!
