Therapy...

Luke continues to work super hard in therapy...have I mentioned lately how much this kid amazes me!! He did great everyday this week at therapy at the Neuro-Institute. They have been working on walking with a walker, walking up stairs, drawing, using lefty, riding a bike and a scooter, and many other things! Next week Luke will be rewarded with a trip to Disneyland! I think he is excited about that. Then therapy here for 2 weeks...then onto the Napa Center in California for two weeks. Then, when we get back the therapists at the Neuro Institute wants to try constraint therapy with Luke to get him using his left hand more. I can't believe this year is almost over...where has time gone? Anyway here are a few pics of Luke in action this week...thanks for continuing to follow him on this journey....

Practicing his crawling while pushing a dump truck.

At home playing his Sponge Bob Video game.

As we celebrate your anniversary, we thank God that you have held together and let God use the obstacles as strengths to bond you all as a family. What a beautiful example you are. Don't you just know that this is part of the reason why Luke is progressing so miraculously!?! Our prayers to God continue for you with much praise!

Tunnel by Third Day

I won’t pretend to know what you’re thinking
I can’t begin to know what you’re going through
I won’t deny the pain that you’re feeling
But I’m gonna try and give a little hope to you

Just remember what I’ve told you
There’s so much you’re living for

There’s a light at the end of this tunnel
There’s a light at the end of this tunnel For you, for you
There’s a light at the end of this tunnel
Shinin’ bright at the end of this tunnel For you, for you
So keep holdin’ on

You’ve got your disappointments and sorrows
You ought to share the weight of that load with me
Then you will find that the light of tomorrow
Brings a new life for your eyes to see
So remember what I’ve told you
There’s so much you’re living for

What's In a Name?

Many of you have asked me where the name Gladiator comes from...here you go. When Luke first got hurt he was transported by Air-E-Vac to Maricopa Medical Center. When he arrived his condition was extremely critical. His lungs and heart were failing. By God's grace, he survived all of that. One of the night nurses, Terry, who was one of our very favorites at the "Copa," as they call it, told Mike and I one night that Luke is a real gladiator to have survived what he did. The name stuck! We believe because of the gladiator in him, he will pull through this and do everything little boys are meant to do! Believe...you are part of this miracle, just by praying for Luke.
