No removal today

They are not going to remove the breathing tube today, this is due to the swelling. Please pray the swelling will go down so they can proceed with the removal. Luke did a good job on a 2.5 hour breathing test. The test involves putting the machine into a mode where Luke does the breathing and it only kicks in if he fails to breath. Luke passed with flying colors. He is coughing well, so it is just a matter of the swelling going down and they are giving him steroids to help.

We will be praying that all swelling is gone by the time they come to check on him in the morning! Thanks for letting us know how to pray! Oh, when we've had children in the hospital....Sundays were always so peaceful, the body of Christ coming together to pray for others is so good! Blessings from Julie,Shane and Children in North Carolina

Our family as always is praying. We trust the Lord in all that He does. If you have ever watched a skilled craftsmen, he will take his time when completing a master piece. I truly believe that God being the greatest craftsman and creator, that He is taking His time with Luke making him beyond special. Putting so much Love into Luke, that he will be blessed among the blessed. I know we are all miracles of God, but sometimes God gives us a special miracle to show us the way. Luke is a special miracle that has touched each of us in a different way, but has shown us to look to God, to trust, to love, to hope, and above all to praise the One who has created us all.

I love you all and we won't stop praying and praising,

Way to go Luke!Just to let you know me and your grandma have made teddy bear poems for you. Yes teddy bears! Sleep well Luke.

Gordy I got your message and will email you some info. When I was learning about blogs I asked questions just like you.

I plan to match you post for post. It's the least we can do for Luke and it is good therapy for you (all of us).

I got my first request to be added to "Teddy Bears For Luke". If I include myself that's 2 virtual teddies for your son! I will direct link that shortly. I think I will use that as an example for you in the email.
