New Cousin!


Well...the exciting news this week is Luke has a new cousin! My sister and her husband welcomed baby Max on Tuesday! He is a cutie! As for Luke, well he didn't do so well his second time at horse therapy. He wanted off the horse this time, so we will try again next week. We are going to go early in the morning this time, so maybe that will work better. We are seeing improvements in other areas though, so we will take what we can get. Some of the things we have noticed is he is responding faster to questions we ask him (with his hand signals,) he is also standing up better with our help, and will even move his feet to take steps when we tell him to walk (although he still has a long way to go before he is doing it by himself!) A big thing he is doing this week is raising his left foot and leg up when we tell him to! This is a great thing! Praise God for all for the improvements we still continue to see in Luke on a weekly basis. He is SO good! From the song (Shout to the Lord," by Chris Tomlin) they sang as the finale on "Idol Gives Back," last night "I sing for joy at the work of Your hands, Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand, Nothing compares to the promise (Luke has) in You." Remember...recruit all the prayer warriors for Luke's Stem Cell Therapy on April 22nd. We also have an appointment with another eye dr that specializes in brain injuries in San Diego on April 23rd. Pray these cells go where they are needed...the best is yet to come for sure!!!! Believe!
