Well Mr. Luke has been a busy boy! Last week at therapy they started constraint therapy with him. Basically they restrain his right arm and hand forcing him to use his left hand. A week later, he is doing great! I will admit though, the kid is quite a houdini and will find a way to get his right hand out to use. Pray he gets full use out of his left hand over time!

A picture he colored with left hand, the therapist helped him write his name.

We also took Luke to see a new Neuro-Chiropractor this week. He gave us some exercises we can do with Luke to try and get his eyes working better, as well as the left side of his face hopefully getting some movement. Pray these exercises work also!!

Here is a great quote they have posted at Luke's therapy place, "The quality and number of gains obtained during a person's rehabilitation after a life altering injury is in direct proportion to their committment to excellence and determination to succeed despite any odds." By the grace of God, Luke is getting the drive to succeed and works so very hard day in and day out. We could not be more proud of his determination. Thank you for your continued prayers. Believe!


His trademark Thumbs up sign!


We went to cut down our Christmas tree this weekend in the freezing snow. Luke liked this Christmas tree!

The Charlie Brown tree is the PERFECT way to describe Luke's tree ~ and I LOVE the Charlie Brown tree! :) I love the quote too ... I'm sure Luke gets his committment and determination directly from his wonderful parents. I'm praying for good strides with "lefty" his eyes!!
Love & hugs,
Nancy
