I must say this has been a busy few days. Monday with met with a Cranio Facial doctor at St. Joe's. He was great. Basically the issue we took him in for is the left side of his face and actually the entire left side of his body does not move at all. We have seen his arm and leg move more lately, but have never seen any movement in his face. There really isn't any surgery he can do to help Luke's face. Anyway, he did tell us there is still time for the nerves to start working again, and referred us to the one therapist in the entire state that can help us with this type of therapy. We have an appointment with her next week. Then today, I had a six hour MRI experience. His appt was at 2, but they told me to get there at 1. Naturally, they were running behind when we got there already, and the machine quit working on the patient in front of us. So we got in at 4, and by the time they reprogrammed his shunt we were leaving at 6:30. Keep in mind, Luke had not had anything to eat since midnight! Poor kid did great though...and they gave him a sucker after he was recovered. I did find out while we are waiting that he has the strongest fingers ever. We were having thumb and finger wars. Another thing he has been doing this week is drawing or I should say more like scribbling on a dry erase board, and then erasing it. He is getting pretty good at it.
We are coming up March 6th, a date I wish would have never happened last year. Anyway, you guys have all helped us SO MUCH throughout this journey by faithfully praying for Luke. There is not a doubt in my mind that it is because of our awesome God and the prayers of all of you that he survived that horrendous week last year when the odds were definetly not in his favor. Next Thursday, March 6th, it will be one year since our lives changed in literally an instant when Luke was hurt, and I am asking if all of you can gather every prayer warrior you know to please say a prayer for continued healing and restoration in Luke. Let us all storm the gates for our precious boy....we have already seen the power in prayer, so let's put it to work again! It is truly AMAZING to see how far God has brought Luke this past year. He is truly a miracle, and the most wonderful thing is that God isn't finished with him yet I BELIEVE the best IS yet to come! Thank you so much for your prayers and support....God hears...remember storm the gates next Thursday! Jesus said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." John 14:1

I am part of linked hearts and read you prayer request. I want you to be encouraged by this scripture i read today for I believe it is for you and your family and I will be praying it for you. Romans 5:1-5
No that we have been made right with God by putting our trust in Him, we have peace with Him. It is because of what out Lord Jesus Christ did for us. By putting our trust in God, He has given us His loving-favor and has recieved us. We are happy for the hope we have of sharing the shining-greatness of God. We are glad for our troubles also We know that troubles help us learn not to give up. When we have stood the test, it gives us hope. Hope never makes us ashamed because the love of God has come into our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who was given to us.
I also pray when you are tired and want to give up that the Lord recharge you with his spirit of peace, that he give you that enternal perspective. Just remember the time in heaven you will have with your son healthy and stronge wont stand aginst the time you have with him here with his mental and physical health limitations. God bless you!
