Shunt Adjusted

Just a quick update...Luke's shunt was adjusted fine on Thursday. Here is a cute story about Luke. I was talking on the phone Thursday morning and said we had to get Luke's shunt adjusted. I look at Luke and he was touching his shunt. So, after I hung up I asked Luke, "Where is your shunt?" He reached up and touched it! We had never even taught him that. Anyway, we asked Dr. Manwaring's nurse, who did the adjustment, about the aneurysm. She said Dr. Manwaring is getting the images to the vascular doctor, but it is not serious, they should be getting back with us this next week. She said she wasn't even sure they would do anything about it yet. Another thing we asked her about is Luke's left eye. It has been fully dialted since Luke was hurt, in fact they call it a blown pupil. Well we have noticed two different times in the last week that it has constricted. We asked her about it; she said she has never heard of that happening before, especially after it being this long. She said it could only mean that the nerve was maybe just slow in waking up. I am telling you slowly but surely Luke is being healed. It starts small...but a pupil they said would never constrict has done just that. Believe!

I'm sure Luke has made many believe in miracles. We will be offering special thanks this Thanksgiving for his progress so far and continued healing. Hugs from Ohio, Sally

Pity the people who cannot see the miracles that are taking place all around them. Your joy at the miracles you are experiencing may help others stop and see and appreciate the miracles that are being given to them freely everyday. Thank you again for being the children of God that he loves and sharing that love with us.
