"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." 1 Chronicles 16:34
This Thanksgiving we are SO very thankful for the many blessings we have this year. First and foremost is that Luke is alive and with us this year...and progressing! We are thankful that God blessed us with such a beautiful boy, that is tough and precious as they come. Watching him fight gives us the courage to move forward every day. His new thing this week is he is starting to lift up his head when laying on his belly. He is even putting his right arm down and pushing himself up. We are also so VERY thankful to all of you that continue to check these updates on our little guy and continue to pray without ceasing, you will never know how much it means to us! This week my dad went hunting in Kansas. Mike had gone last year to the same place and met 2 of the guys they were hunting with. Well, when these 2 guys (from Louisiana,) heard about what had happened with Luke, they left the place they were staying to go find the nearest church so they could pray for Luke. There are many other stories just like this we have been told...thank you so much! Speaking of praying, please especially pray for Luke on Monday morning. We have an appointment with Dr. McDougall, chief of endovascular neurosurgery at Barrow's, to talk about the aneurysm. Please pray for them to make the right decision regarding this. Finally, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! This Thanksgiving, it is my prayer that everyone reading this will thank God for everything you have in your life right now (even though it may not be everything you want:) We are proof of how your life can change in an instant. So...enjoy the your family and the turkey too...and have an extra piece of pumpkin pie for Luke...that is his favorite and even better if it has homeade whip cream on top. Believe!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. We are blessed, as you have stated, but also for allowing us to share your challenging yet hopeful and frustrating at times, journey.
We each must face the mountain that is before us, and climb to the top. Somedays, the steps are easy. But the other days, we may slide a few steps back...but in the end, we will get there...as long as we "Believe".
Many of the staff quietly and privately check on Luke and say our little prayers. Our days are busy but some how everyday something happens and Luke and your family just pop into our minds. The prayers may not be long or fancy but they are there none the less. Thankful is what were are for having your family and especially Luke to remind us of the love of our God.
Stacey- Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Your strength is such an inspiration!
