Great Day!

First of all...I promise next time I post, there will be pictures. It's been a crazy few weeks, but I do have some good ones waiting to be uploaded. Now onto the good news. Today we had a great visit with Luke's new physiatrist. Basically, she handles everything from a neuro-rehab standpoint. She thinks Luke is ready for an intense in-patient rehab stay. So, we will be going back to St.Joe's/Barrow's for an intense rehab session for probably 2-3 weeks depending on how he does. She really feels after evaluating Luke, that he will be able to walk, whether on his own or with a walker ( no we don't think this will happen during the time he is there, but over time.) She also wants to really work on the Speech. While we are certainly not excited to be going back into the hospital , we are very excited for the hope this brings Luke. Finally, a doctor who BELIEVES in him like we do! We don't know for sure when they will take him, but it sounded like it could be in the next few weeks. So far, our week of visits is off to a great start, please pray this continues. He has the MRI tomorrow, then Dr. Manwaring on Wed. Thanks for your continued prayers and support...as you can tell they are working in a mighty way!

Also, D-Backs tickets...we need the money by Thursday if you are planning to attend. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts for everyone that will be joining us at the game. May you be blessed ten times over for your generosity.

God can only do GREAT things... “On Him we have set our hope that He will continue to deliver us.” 2 Corinthians 1:10...Believe!
