Updates from Luke's Aunt Jenny:
With Luke at the hospital. I am so amazed and in awe of his progress. He was up in a chair today! He lifted each leg on request and was able to lift his arms, thumbs up, peace sign etc. When I rounded the corner to his room and saw him for the first time (since the accident) it was amazing :). His eyes are opened, he's making eye contact and "getting" my witty comments! Thank you God and the power of prayer.
I just had the most incredible experience with Luke. I bootlegged my Blackberry into Luke's room and went on Facebook, I read out loud to him all the wonderful encouraging posts that have been put on his wall (and other's). He smiled and I cried (of course!) Every one of the posts so heartfelt and loving, some even demanding! He looked concerned at one point and I said, "We almost lost you Luke" Here we are, day 10
Luke had a GREAT night, he was not put on the ventilator at all! The blood gases (that blood draw that almost took me down) came back great, I overheard the nurses saying that the ventilator could come out of the room, they would leave it in for a day just in case. He was not in any pain, very alert. Might have been my stimulating conversation lol.
Oh my goodness this is a miracle!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for him and the whole family- nothing better then positive thoughts and lots of prayers.
How wonderful! I am so happy to hear this!
ReplyDeleteRight on. I know I can always count on you Dawn so that does not surprise me, though I have to say the way that so many people, complete strangers even, just came together for Luke, it was completely amazing.
ReplyDeleteI wish the kids and I were home so we could go see him.
