Sunday Update

Luke & his Dad

Posted as a Note on Facebook from Luke's mom:

They let Luke breath on his own 13 plus hours, now letting him rest and turn cpap back to vent. Spent most of day off Dex, fetanyl down to 50 mcg an hour. Started on oral pain meds through PEG tube. Hope to have off fentanyl all together overnight. Still having trouble with fevers. Opened eyes today multiple times, spit, and stuck his tongue out on command occasionally, earned mit to stop him from taking tubes out. He feels around til he gets one then pinches with thumb and finger and then pulls, I started range of motion with him, boy are his joints stiff, slowly ever so slowly, it is so important to have someone at bedside, that way he can exercise and not have his mitts on. I am home for few days to work, Gram Helen, Aunt Jenny, and dad will be there. I will still post up dates.

Pray for control of temperatures, fighting infection, healing of his brain so he can walk out of that place. Prayers and positive thoughts are working. His progress has surprised the nurses. We have to pray real hard now, his antanneas are out of his head, less reception

Love and thank you to all

And since I {Penny} am the one who tracks the family's PayPal donations and Lenore is the one who collects local donations from around town, We would both like to say thank you so much to Stacy.

The love, prayers and generosity of people across the globe is absolutely amazing.

I know some of you are following this blog via my personal blog or via Dawn's blog and for those of you who have expressed that you'd like to send something but don't have a PayPal or you express your regret that you don't have a PayPal... the most important thing, absolutely the most important thing is for everyone to pray for Luke and send lots of positive thoughts and good vibes.
