Quick update to let everyone know today went perfect. They did the bone marrow stem cell harvest from both of Luke's tibias, took the cells to the lab for processing, then did the lumbar puncture with Mannitol to inject the stem cells back into Luke. Everyone was pleased with how many cells they got, and how well Luke did. He is a trooper and has been amazing us this trip! More to come on that when I am not typing letter by letter on an iPad.
One of my biggest concerns was where they would be doing the procedure. I have to say, it was cleaner than most hospitals/clinics we have been to back home. All of the doctors/nurses have been amazing and actually acknowledge Luke, which we again, hardly ever see at home. More details to come when we get back home. Thanks so much for your continued prayers. I have to say, one of the staff told me today he read the medical records from Luke's drs back home. He said from reading the reports he did not expect Luke to be able to do some of the things he does. We all have high hopes for him now. God is good!!

Welcome home!
I'm thrilled that you all made it back safely and that you've already seen results in a positive manner with Luke. I'm so happy this experience was pleasing to you, you've got enough to worry about! Luke again, is amazing in every aspect! Each day he reminds me that there is always hope for a better new day. He's growing to surprise everyone at the leaps and bounds of improvement he makes, even the little things! God bless your every day journey of healing.
Love,
Marilyn :)
