We have a cough

Luke coughed 3 or 4 times this afternoon, this is awesome news. With the coughs, they were able to extract a lot of fluid from his lungs. Luke also received a pint of blood and is doing very well. He has been resting most of the day and his vitals are very good.

He has opened his eyes a few times today and they are looking more straight ahead, this is good.

Luke's brothers and sisters (Daniel 19, Amy 16, Natalie 15, Isaiah 5, Ezekiel 3) all came and visited today. They were all very happy to see look and look forward to a day when they can hold him and play with him again.

Earlier this evening I was on the blog here and I pointed to the tiny picture of Luke and asked Benjamin who it was and he said "That's little Luke". He then asked if he was feeling better so I explained his progress the best I could to a three year old and told him that is why we are still praying for him and he replied "I pray for little Luke". It is touching to see that even my three year old son is full of compassion and pulling for Luke.

May God bless this child. I learned of Luke from a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend. God has extended His territory for a child such as this. I pray God's favor on Luke. God has healed your son by the mere power of His love for him. Luke has a story yet to be told, a calling yet to be called and a life that is full on this day. God has blessed you as a family, behold this gift and remember God's favor.

Thank You Jesus!! He's doing it!

The pictures make me cry to see such a little guy like that! I remember how hard it was to see my little guy in the ER with IV and everything and my Mama's heart just weeps and wants to make it all better. You hold in there Sue, Jesus is holding your little boy even though you cant right now!

Blessings to you all!
