As you can see by the pictures Luke has lead a very full and good life these past five years. Has it always been easy, no way, has it always been pain free, no way, has it always been full of smiles, no way. Have we always believed that God is able to heal Luke, YES, have we always had to lean on Jesus for our strength, YES, do we still believe that Luke will walk and talk again one day, YES! We are thankful that we didn't take the Dr.'s advice in the PICU right after his accident, when he told us to take Luke home and let him die in our arms, that Dr. knew the hardships and trying times that we would have with Luke's brain injury. God knew better, He knew we would grow closer to Him than we thought possible, God knew that He would never leave us for a single second, God knew that He would have to give us the strength to get through the many hard days, God knew that He would supply all the money we would need pay all Luke's many medical bills, God knew that He would bring faithful prayer warriors to stand by our sides and not give up praying for Luke's healing and our family, God knew that we would need healing in our family and He faithfully healed us in our desperate moments, GOD KNEW and we trusted Him.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and support. I've said this numerous times in the past but it can't be said enough that without your faithfulness in keeping our family in your prayers this journey we've been on for these past 5 years would have been nearly impossible to get through. May God richly bless each and every one of you.

Love you so much,
Luke's Mommy Suzi
