Praise God!

The surgery went great! The doctor said he was very pleased with the results. They ended up just having to do the coiling, no stint, so that was great! They didn't end up getting to him until 1:30 this afternoon , which is why this update is so late (a long day considering we had to be there at 6am.) When they came to get him from the pre-op area, they always have someone from transport wheel him there. As soon as we got off of the elevator he knew exactly what was happening and started crying. Then the lady told us, "here is the waiting room," Luke really started crying hard. That was the worst part all day for us, hearing him cry and knowing where he was going! After they took him to the PICU to recover. When we got in there I told him he did so good and to show me an okay...he did it right away! What a trooper he his! Mike is there now staying the night with his wing man. We should be able to bring him home tomorrow. Thank you all so much for your prayers, emails, posts, phone calls, everything....YOU ALL truly made the difference (once again!) in the life of our gladiator and our family today. God Bless you all....and Believe...the best is yet to come!

Wonderful news! We have been thinking of Luke and all of you all the day and praying strongly. God Bless that he did so well! We continue to pray for Luke and your entire family. Jordyn came home from school today and said, "Mom, today Luke had his surgery; do you think he did ok?" I knew in my heart, he would once again do amazing stuff! BELIEVE!!
