Getting Better

We seem to be getting past the sickness. Luke still has a cough and junky stuff in his throat, but is doing better. Poor kid has to get sick and have a cough right after getting his tonsils out, as if that wasn't enough. He showed us once again what a trooper he is. Praise God also, that he is doing such a good job coughing and clearing his throat. I was really worried about him getting pneumonia.

Today he had just a regular check up with his pediatrician. She just wants to check him out every four months. So, the last time she saw him was in October. She was very impressed by everything that his is able to do and how "there" he really is. She told me, "Wow, this kid is really blowing everything they ever said about him out of the water." Not sure what kind of report she saw from when Luke was first hurt, but I was sure glad to hear that. Thanks to all of you for always praying without ceasing for our little guy! He is where he is because of all of you! This Friday we have an appointment with a different eye doctor to get his opinion, please pray for that, along with continued restoration in Luke's brain. His new thing this week, although he really has not been his usual self since the tonsil surgery, is he is getting great at throwing a ball! Mike is happy to see that! A few weeks ago it took him awhile to actually release the ball, now he does it every time and it goes far. God is good!
