The hard part...waiting

One of the doctors said its like a marathon, there is a long way to go and right now we are at one of the hard parts, we must just wait. Luke has been off of the sedatives since this morning and he continues to sleep. Occasionally he will open his eyes a little, but his eyes are looking upward, this can be due to the narcotics. Before they can remove the ventilator, Luke needs to cough, this is to prevent him from swallowing fluid and having it go into his lungs.

At this point, please pray that Luke would cough and they would be able to remove the ventilator. Also, that he would wake up and that his eyes would be looking proper, not up, nor down. Finally, pray that Luke's fever would fade and the fluids in his lungs would go away.

Isn’t the Lord good (-: He is answering our prayers. We serve a mighty God.

“The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you in His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing”
Zephaniah 3:17

Psalm 136, verse one states "Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For his mercy endures forever." And I know that our wonderful Lord is pouring out his mercy on little Luke right now. My faith and prayer is that Luke will very soon open his eyes and call for his mommy and daddy. Praise God for His mercy endures forever. My thoughts, love and prayers are with you. Uncle Randall
