Follow up appt

Today Luke had his follow-up appointment with Dr. Manwaring to go over his MRI. He said Luke's shunt is working great! He continues to be impressed with the improvements Luke is still making to this day. He was amazed to hear Luke say, Hi, Bye, and Yeah to him. He said he has come a long way from when he first met him over 3 years ago in bed 7 at the Copa!! So to that we say, God is good, and we are surely blessed. You see, most of the medical community will tell you that when you have a brain injury, you can expect to see improvements for about two years, and then they will stop, you pretty much get what you have at that point. Here we are almost 3 1/2 years later and still getting improvements. Praise God!! I think this just shows that Luke is proof, that there should be no limitations set on what the brain can do because in the end, faith, determination, perseverance, and just plain old hard work will ALWAYS win out...no matter what!

Luke continues to love school, and put up quite the fight today when I had to put him in the car to go to the appointment. He was having some behavior issues last week, so I pray those will go away. Honestly, I think he is realizing school is not going to be all about fun, there is going to be some work involved too:) Thanks for continuing to follow along and believe with us that there are great things in store for this boy!
