Need some motivation!

Well...the serial casting did not happen...turns out they had the wrong patient. I will just leave it at that. If you have been following Luke for any time, you know this is par for the course for us. They did however, come and fit him for new Afo's. These will help him be able to walk a little better.

Luke is having a hard time staying motivated for his therapies. He has learned to tell them no or pretend like he is asleep so he does not have to work. Yesterday they had him trying to walk on the parallel bars. He did it great the first time, then she let him walk backwards to get back. So, he learned then if he took a few steps forward the next time, then he could go back and be at the end. So that was what he did. So, our prayer request is to pray for Luke to get motivated to work. I guess I shouldn't have mentioned his stubborn side earlier this week because that is definetly coming thru:) Believe!

My words…will come true at the proper time.” (Luke 1:20)
“What the Lord has said…will be accomplished!” (Luke 1:45)

“The Lord is sure to accomplish those things
A loving heart has waited long to see;
Those words will be fulfilled to which she clings,
Because her God has promised faithfully;
And, knowing Him, she ne’er can doubt His Word;
He speaks and it is done. The mighty Lord! "

We are especially praying for you right now! What a little stinker, but on the same note, cool that he is figuring this all out! He is a funny little man! New AFO's will be great too! Show your stuff Luke and work hard! You have A LOT of people rooting for you! Hang in there and BELIEVE!

Stacey- I thought of you this weekend- there was an article up here in MN-in the Star Tribune... during the awful tornado that hit Hugo,MN in May- a little 5 year old girl received a TBI and the article reminded me of how far Luke has come- so hang in there!!
