Luke continues to do new things this week..Praise God and all of you who continue to pray without ceasing! This week he is making new sounds with his mouth...a clicking sound. We still do not have any words so please pray for words to come soon. In the stages of speech, sounds that mean different things comes before words, and that is where he is at now. We can definetly tell if it is a happy sound or mad sound. He is also becoming an expert at pinching food in his fingers and putting it in his mouth, and does great with a sucker. One of my favorite things is when you ask him for a hug, he will now also give you a few pats on your back:) He is helping us out at home with grabbing doors and closing them on the way out, and also pushing the button to open the garage door. This week with the flash cards instead of giving him 2 cards and telling him to pick one, I made the questions harder. I would tell him to pick the card of the animal that swims in water (fish,) or the card of the animal Mommy does not like (mouse.) He gets them correct every time. His left side is responding great to the increase in activity we are doing. I really think it will be moving on its own in no time. The picture is Luke on his old Big Wheel at Nana and Papa's house. It shows how good he is holding up his head. Thanks so much for the continued prayers and support...please pray for continued restoration in Luke's brain and for speech and movement to come soon! But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. Jeremiah 17:7 NLT We are so blessed to be slowly but surely getting our Lukey back. Believe!

Thank you for the notes of progress. They are so inspiring! Way to go Lukey!
So wonderful Luke and family! I was so excited to spread the news to a lady that asks about Luke all the time at work (she's a Physical Therapist) and I bragged about his latest photo. She was very excited and so are we! You look so great Luke - keep it up! Keeping the Faith!
