HI EVERYONE,
SORRY FOR THE BAD NEWS .LUKE DID NOT RESPOND TO THE LAST MIBG TREATMENT. HIS CANCER HAS SPREAD.
THEY ADMITTED US LAST WEDNESDAY AND WE ARE STILL INPATIENT TRYING TO GET LUKE'S PAIN UNDER CONTROL HE IS ON PCA PAIN MEDS. IF WE CAN STABILIZE HIS PAIN THEY WILL SEND US HOME {TO PHILADELPHIA HOME} FOR HOSPICE HOME CARE .THERE IS NOTHING LEFT FOR LUKIE TO DO AS FAR AS TREATMENT. HIS DISEASE HAS PROGRESSED TO FAR .
I BELIEVE WHERE THERE IS STILL LIFE THERE IS HOPE!

WE ARE PREPARED FOR WHATEVER JOURNEY WE GO DOWN.
WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
LUKE'S PAIN IS GETTING UNDER CONTROL AND WE CAN POSSIBLY BE DISCHARGED ON MONDAY .
WE WILL BE LABBING AND HE IS ON ORAL CHEMO TO TRY AND CUT BACK ON SOME DISEASE TO HELP RELIVE THE PAIN.
CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR US AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO PRESS FORWARD!
WITH ALL OUR LOVE TO ALL WHO HAVE SO DEEPLY LOVED US ON THIS JOURNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LUKE HAD HIS SECOND MIBG TREATMENT YESTERDAY .HIS SCANS FROM THE FIRST TREATMENT WERE NOT AS GOOD AS WE HOPED THEY WOULD BE.
IT WAS A LITTLE DISCOURAGING TO SAY THE LEAST .STILL I AM HOLDING ON STRONGLY TO GODS PROMISES YET SCARED TO DEATH IN THE MIST OF ALL OF THIS.WHEN I AWOKE THIS MORNING THE SUN WAS SHINING BRIGHTLY IN TO OUR ROOM. I HAVE BEEN PRAYING AND MEDITATING IN HIS WORD HAVING SOME QUIET TIME WHILE LUKE IS ASLEEP.
I LATER LOOKED OUTSIDE AND SAW A AMERICAN FLAG WAVING @ THE TOP OF A NEW BUILDING BEING BUILT ACROSS THE STREET AND WAS SIMPLY REMIND OF "IN GOD WE TRUST" HOW SIMPLE YET SO HUGE IN MEANING, AND HOW PERFECT FOR ME TODAY.
GOD SHOWS HIMSELF IN WAYS THAT REMIND US OF HIS LOVE FOR US.NO I CANNOT PROMISE HIM I WILL BE PERFECT I CANNOT BARGAIN OUT OF THIS ONE THAY IS FOR SURE I TRIED EVERYTHING BELIVE ME.
KNOWING SURELY I WILL FAIL SOONER OR LATER BUT GOD WILL SHOW HIMSELF THROUGH THIS IN A WAY WE CANNOT IMAGINE.
WE ALL STAND TOGETHER AND CAN PROMISE GOD NO MATTER WHAT WE WALK THROUGH WE CAN TRUST HIM .THAT IS SIMPLY ALL WE CAN DO.I BELIEVE LUKE HAS BEEN HEALED TODAY AND MY SOUL STARTING TO MEND .I CANNOT EXPLAIN IT BUT I FEEL TODAY IS A NEW DAY.SO PRAISE GOD .LUKE IS STILL ASLEEP HE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL HIS LITTLE NOSE WITH A FEW LITTLE FRECKLES.GOD IS DOING GOOD WORK THROUGH A BRAVE AN FAITHFUL SERVANT

LUKE!!!!
LETS US ALL NOT MISS WHAT IS IN FRONT OF US TODAY AT THIS MOMENT WE CAN NEVER GET IT BACK.I LOVE YOU ALL I APOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING .THANKS FOR CONSISTENTLY PRAYING FOR US ALL.

Luke's MIBG showed that he has a new spot in his leg. So he is going to start new chemo tomorrow. He's going to be getting Cytoxan and Topotecan. They say that this chemo can cause more side effects, but we are praying and believing that Luke will have NO side effects at all and not have to be admitted to the hospital. Please walk and pray in faith with us that Luke is NOT going to get sick from this. With God all things are possible! Thanks for your prayers!

Luke is celebrating time with his best buddies Tyler, Nicole, Angela, and Courtney. He is doing great. He has scans this week. We all believe that Luke will be cancer free forever and ever!!!! Tyler, his best friend, is doing awesome too. Keep us in your prayers this week.

Love,
Carrie & Luke

LUKE IS CONTINUING TO PROGRESS.THIS MAKES ME FEEL SOOOO ...
HAPPY TO SEE HIM BE HIMSELF AGAIN(LIKE A KID NOT A PATIENT).

I AM SO HAPPY TO BE WITH MY KIDS. I HAVE SO MUCH JOY EACH DAY ABOUT THE SIMPLE THINGS "THE MOMMY I LOVE YOU"IS THE BEST FEELING EVER !!!!!!NOTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE MATTERS .I HAVE NEVER FELT SO FUFILLED!
THE PRAYER REGUEST IS: WELL LUKE IS GETTING HIS PET SCAN ON FRIDAY TO CHECK THE AREA IN HIS HEAD BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN QUESTIONABLE ,BECAUSE OF THE SURGERY IF IT IS HAVING UPTAKE BECAUSE IT COULD BE, POST OPERATIVE CHANGES, OR DISEASE. I KNOW IT IS NOT DISEASE AND GOD HAS HEALED LUKE FOREVER !!!
THE RESULTS FROM THE PET SCAN ON FRIDAY WILL MAKE THE DECSION IF THEY SHOULD DO RADIATION ON LUKE'S HEAD.THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THEY LIKE TO DO AN CHILDREN UNDER FIVE YEARS OLD BECUASE THEY ARE A HIGH RISK DEVELOPMENTALY, AND GROWTH WISE.

LUKE'S NUEROBLASTOMA DOES NOT FOLLOW THE "TYPICAL NUEROBLASTOMA CASE SO ...THE NATIONAL CHILRENS ONCOLOLGY BOARD ,WILL REVIEW HIS CASE AND THE DOCTORS THAT HAVE BEEN INVOLVEDIN LUKES CASE WILL GIVE US THE NUMBERS,HOPEFULY THEY WILL GIVE US THE BEST DECISION THAT THEY CAN.ALSO WE PRAY GOD WILL HELP THE DOCTORS TO MAKE THE BEST DECISON.
I CONTINUE TO PRAY THAT, GOD WILL GIVE ME THE PEACE LIKE HE HAS THROUGHOUT ALL OF THIS ON WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
I LOVE MY CHILDREN SO MUCH AND I NEVER WANT THEM TO SUFFER.GOD GAVE HIS SON TO DIE FOR US SO THAT WE HAVE LIFE.I CANNOT EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW THAT FELT.GOD LOVES US.

HI
LUKE IS AT 4,300.
WOW HE DID NOT HAVE G CSF YESTERDAY EITHER.
DR.STABA SAID THAT WAS A EXTREMLY RARE BIG JUMP FROM 640 TO 3,200 AND THEN FROM 4,300.
THAT IS GOD!
MORE THAN ENOUGH AS USUAL.
WELL LUKE IS DOING WELL WE MET ALL OUR GOALS FOR YESTERDAY AND TODAY .HE ATE ,DRANK GOT OUT OF THE ROOM,AND HE WORE HIS MASK. SO TODAY WE WENT OUTSIDE THEY SAID IT WAS OKAY BECAUSE HE HAS SUCH GOOD COUNTS.WE ARE WORKING ON STRENGHTING HIS LEGS AGAIN HE IS A LITTLE WEAK BUT I AM THINKING BY TOMORROW HE WILL BE STRONGER.
SO IF LUKES KEEPS PROGRESSING WITH EATING AND DRINKING THEY WILL GIVE US THE BOOT TOMORROW CAN YOU BELIVE IT.
I HAVE TO SAY I THINK I AM READY AND IT WILL BE GOOD FOR LUKE .HALEE AND JAMES ARE COMING UP SATURDAY SO IT WILL BE REALLY NICE TO BE ALL TOGHTHER .
GOD IS GOOD.
YEAH WE ARE DONE WITH LUKE EVER BEING SICK AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THERFORE PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD,SO THAT WHEN THE DAY OF EVIL COMES,YOU MAY BE ABLE TO STAND YOUR GROUND,AND AFTER YOU HAVE DONE EVERTHING, TO STAND.
STAND FIRM THEN,WITH THE BELT OF TRUTH BUCKLED AROUND YOUR WASIT,WITH THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN PLACE,AND WITH YOUR FEET FITTED WITH THE READINESS THAT COMES FROM THE GOSPEL OF PEACE.
IN ADDITION TO ALL THIS,TAKE UP THE SHEILD OF FAITH,WITH WHICH YOU CAN EXTINGUISH ALL THE FLAMING ARROWS OF THE EVIL ONE.TAKE THE HELMET OF SALVATION AND THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT,WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD.
EPHESIANS 6:13-17

HOW CAN YOU NOT BE PREPARE FOR ANY BATTLE IF YOU DO THESE THINGS . LUKE HAS BEEN AT BATTLE AS WELL AS ALL OF US THAT HAVE BEEN FIGHTING ALONG WITH HIM ON THIS JOURNEY. CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR ALL HIS CELLS TO BOUNCE BACK THAT HE WILL NOT NEED TRANSFUSIONS AND LIFE FOR HIM WILL RETURN TO NORMAL AND THE REST OF THE DECISIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE FOR THE REST OF HIS CARE WILL BE MADE WITH GOD LEADING THE WAY .
LOVE YOU ALL,
CARRIE&LUKE

AUGUST 16 2006 T+13

WOW
WHAT A DIFFERANCE A DAY MAKES LUKES ANC IS 3,234!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE STARTED WANTING MASHERS(BABY FOOD)YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUED TO WANT AND EAT THROUGH THE NIGHT .LUKE IS OFFICALLY BACK.
I CAN FINALLY TAKE A DEEP BREATH.SO THEY ARE STARTING TO BACK OFF TPN AND HAL TODAY THEY ARE ALSO TAKING OUT THE NG TUBE SO LUKE WILL CONTINUE ANTIBIOTICS AND THEY WILL START TO PULL ONE AT A TIME.
MY GOAL OF THE DAY IS TO HAVE LUKE CONTINUE TO EAT, GET HIM BATHED & WALKING SOME.ALSO WE HAVE TO START WORKING ON WEARING A MASK SO WE CAN LEAVE THE ROOM.
LUKE IS SITTING UP IN HIS BED COLORING PAINTING AND WATCHING T.V .HIS FAVORITE THINGS TO WATCH NOW ARE DORA & DEIGO AND BLUES CLUES.HE LIKES TO HAVE HIS CRAYON AND NOTEBOOK WHILE HE WATCHES T.V HE IS SO CUTE.
EVERYTHING IS LOOKING GOOD SO I AM GUESSING WE WILL BE OUT OF HERE VERY SOON..WE HAVE BEEN INPATIENT 21 DAYS NOW.I COME TO REALIZE I WOULD MAKE A PRETY GOOD PRISONER.I HOPE MY EYES DONT BURN WHEN THEY SEE THE DAYLIGHT.@ ARNOLD PALMER WE COULD WANDER AROUND MORE WITH LUKES IV POLE AND THEY HAVE A PLAY ROOM FOR THE KIDS AT APH SO WE HAD A LITTLE MORE FREEDOM.
WHEN WE LEAVE WE WILL NEVER SLEEP IN A HOSPITAL BED AGAIN .OUR FAMLIY WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN.I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH ME AND LUKE MISS HALEE AND JAMES. WHEN LUKE WAS SLEEPING ALL THOSE DAYS HE WAS TALKING IN HIS SLEEP ABOUT HIS BROTHER AND SISTER AND HIS TOYS IT WAS SAD.THIS TIME LUKE WILL GET TO KEEP HIS EYEBROWS ,EYELASHES AND HAIR.I HAVE GOTTEN SO ACUSTOM TO LOOKING AT LUKE LIKE THIS I CANT PICTURE WHAT HE WILL LOOK LIKE.
THE CALENDARS THAT LUKE HAD THE BUTTERFLY PICTURES FOR WILL BE OUT I THINK IN OCTOBER.ALL THE PROCEEDS RAISED FROM THE CALENDAR GOES TO THE HEMOTOLOGY ONCOLOGY FLOOR AT APH.
I HAVE A SPLECIAL PRAYER REGUEST FOR LUKES FREIND HALEY CAROL HER AND HER FAMLIY LIVE IN MELBOURNE WE MET THEM AT APH.LUKE AND HALEY BECAME INSTANT FREINDS.SHE HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM COME UP .SHE HAS BEEN FIGHTING CANCER SINCE A BABY AND SHE WAS ALMOST DONE WITH HER FIRST FIGHT AND SHE GOT NEWLY DIAGNOSED WITH APLASTIC ANEMIA.PLEASE PRAY FOR A MIRACLE FOR HER AND HER FAMLIY SHE IS A SPECIAL LITTLE GIRL.
WE LOVE YOU ALL THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING THERE FOR US .YOU HAVE HELP US TO PRESS ON THROUGH WHEN THINGS GOT HARD.
THATS WHAT GOD WANT US TO DO .TO GET THROUGH THE HARD STUFF SO WE GET TO WHERE HE WANTS US TO BE .

HI
WELL WE WENT AHEAD AND PUT THE NG TUBE TO HELP RELIVE THE PRESSURE OF LUKES STOMACH WE ARE HOPING HE ONLY WILL NEED IT FOR TODAY.HIS ANC WAS UP TO 640 TODAY SO ONLY UP FROM HERE.
I WAS READING MY BIBLE THIS MORNING AND REALIZED I THINK WE CAN LEARN ALOT ABOUT FAITH BY JOSHUA AND MOSES .GOD WANTS US TO BE A JOSHUA NOT A MOSES . JOSHUA ALWAYS TRUSTED IN GODS PROMISE HE NEVER FEARED.HE TRULY WALKED IN FAITH. LUKE HAS BEEN A JOSHUA BELIVING IN GODS PROMISES .
OUR LIVES OUR FOREVER CHANGED. WE WILL ALWAYS REMEBER GODS PROMISES HE GAVE TO US AND THAT HE HAS IT ALL UNDER HIS CONTROL AND ALWAYS WILL .
SO BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS.
TRULY LUKE IS THE MOST STRONG AND COURAGEOUS PERSON I KNOW.

WE ARE OFFICALLY ENGRAFTED!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LUKE WAS JUMPING AROUND FOR DAYS BUT YESTERDAY WE WERE @ ANC OF 9 & WHITE COUNT OF .3 SO THEY THOUGHT SINCE HIS WHITE COUNT WAS GOING UP HE WOULD STABLIZE SOON AND HE DID HE HAD A ANC OF 287 TODAY AND HE IS DOING BETTER AS THE DAY GOES ON! LUKE IS SO STRONG HE IS AMAZING. HE IS STARTING TO DRINK MORE IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, AND THEY ARE DECREASING THE MORPHINE .WE NEED TO PRAY FOR LUKE TO FART AND BURP, BECAUSE HIS TUMMY IS FULL OF AIR AND WE HAVE BEEN DOING X-RAYS ON IT TO MONITOR IT. IF IT DOESNT GET SOME RELIEF THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING A TUBE THROUGH HIS NOSE DOWN TO IS STOMACH TO RELIVE THE AIR AND BILE .
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE LUKE GETTING BETTER .THIS WAS SCARY. I NEVER WANT TO EVER BE HERE AGAIN EVER.
THE DOCTORS AND NURSES HAVE BEEN GOOD BUT WE DO MISS OUR HOME AT ARNOLD PALMER.WE REALLY GOT COMFORTABLE THERE AND MISS EVERYONES SMILING FACES.OUT OF ALL THE NURSES ON THE BMT UNIT I GOT ONE FROM SEBASTAIN THAT IS GOOD FREINDS WITH OUR NEIGHBOR.SHE DID LUKES TRANSPLANT AND HAS HAD HIM ALMOST EVERYDAY AND WE JUST REALIZED ALL THIS SMALL WORL .ANYWAY LUKE IS DOING BETTER AND I CANNOT WAIT TILL TOMORROW IT SEEMS LIKE HE KEEPS IMPROVING EVERY MINUTE.
WE LOVE YOU ALL & WE CAN ONLY GO UP FROM HERE.

AUGUST 11,2006 T+8 T+9

HELLO EVERYONE !
I CANNOT TELL YOU ALL HOW NICE IT IS TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL. IT ENCOURAGES US, THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS,AND THAT YOU ALL OUR PRAYING AND THINKING OF LUKE.THE DAYS ARE GETTING HARD BECAUSE LUKE HAS NOW HAD A FEVER FOR OVER A WEEK, AND THEY ARE NOT SURE WHY. THEY ARE SUSPECTING HIM TO ENGRAFT SOON, AND HIS COUNTS ARE STILL JUMPING AROUND, BUT I AM HAPPY THAT WE ARE SEEING SOME ACTIVITY, AND IMPROVEMENT.THEY DID A CT SCAN ON LUKE YESTERDAY AND DID SOME DIFFERENT KIND OF CULTURES.TODAY THEY ARE ADDING TWO MORE ANTIBIOTICS AND THEY DID A STOMACH X-RAY. ALL THE TEST SO FAR ARE NEGATIVE.WE MADE A LEAP YESTERDAY WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO GET LUKE TO TAKE TYLENOL! (YEAH).WHEN LUKE HAS A 104.0 FEVER IT IS A LITTLE DISTURBING WHEN YOU CANT GIVE HIM ANYTHING TO BRING IT DOWN AND MAKE HIM MORE COMFORTABLE.
HE ALSO HAD SOME SMALL SIPS OF GATORADE IN HIS SIPPY CUP .WE WERE ALL THRILLED.ANY DAY NOW WE WILL START TO SEE LUKE IMPROVE EVEN MORE.PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HEALING ON LUKE, FOR ME,JAMES SR., AND OUR HALEE & JAMES.
THIS HAS BEEN A HARD JOURNEY FOR US ALL. IT STARTED WITH A AMBULANCE RIDE TO ARNOLD PALMER ON JANUARY 30 AND WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING EVER SINCE.WOW HOW FAST YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE. YOU REALLY FORGET HOW MUCH YOU DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE .
WE REALLY MISS HALEE & JAMES.WHEN WE WERE INPATIENT @APH WE WERE STILL ABLE TO VISIT WITH THEM ON THE WEEKENDS AND MORE OFTEN. SO THIS IS HARD FOR US AND THEM WE WILL ALL BE BACK TOGTHER AS A FAMLIY SOON, AND I HOPE WE NEVER FORGET HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE TO HAVE TIME TOGHTHER AND NOT TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED.

"WHY , YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW.WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? YOU ARE A MIST THAT APPEARS FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN VANISHES"

"BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO PERSEVERES UNDER TRIAL,BECAUSE WHEN HE HAS STOOD THE TEST,HE WILL RECIEVE THE CROWN OF LIFE THAT GOD HAS PROMISED TO THOSE WHO LOVE HIM"

HI
DONT GET DISCOURAGED,BUT LUKE IS BACK TO ZERO.THE DOCTORS SAY THATS COMMON BECAUSE ITS SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT THAT HE WILL JUMP AROUND FOR A COUPLE DAYS .I CAN TELL HE IS NOT GETTING WORSE .HE SLEPT ALL DAY YESTERDAY.HE WAS AWAKE FOR MAYBE 1 HOUR ALL DAY BUT HE IS STARTING TO BECOME MORE COMFORTABLE THAN HE WAS 2 DAYS AGO .HE STILL IS HAVING FEVERS AS HIGH AS 104.0 AND HIS MOUTH STILL HURTS BUT I DONT SEE IT GETTING WORSE SO THATS GOOD.
HE HAD A GOOD NIGHTS REST LAST NIGHT TOO.THESE DAY ARE FOREVER LONG, AND A LITTLE DEPRESSING.
EVERYDAY I WAKE UP LIKE ITS CHRISTMAS MORNING HOPING TO FIND LUKE WANTING TO PLAY AND LAUGH. THEN IT IS JUST ANOTHER DAY OF HIM NOT FEELING GOOD.(BUMMER LUKE SAYS BUMMER TOO)
WELL THERE IS ALWAYS REMINDERS THAT THINGS COULD BE WORSE.SO I AM GRATEFUL FOR WHAT I HAVE. I GET TO SEE HIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FACE ALL DAY LONG EVERYDAY.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY EVERDAY.LUKE IS GOING TO BE OKAY AND WE WILL GET TO LEAVE VERY SOON.
WE WALK BY FAITH.

HI.
OKAY,
WE COULD NOT GET AROUND TO UPDATING YESTERDAY.LUKE WAS HAVING A BAD DAY.
HE CURRENTLY IS STILL RUNNING A FEVER,BUT I AM BELIVING TODAY IS THE LAST OF THE FEVER .HE IS STARTING TO HAVE A RASH ALL OVER HIS BODY. IT STARTED IN THE DIAPER AREA AND MOVED UP. WE ARE NOT QUIT SURE WHAT FROM,ANDTHE DOCTORS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WATCH IT. HE IS ON ALOT STUFF.SO WHO KNOWS IF IT IS A REACTION OF SOMEKIND TO MEDICATION.
WE ARE STILL WORKING ON GETTING HIS PAIN MEDICATION TO THE RIGHT DOSAGE.HE WAS TALKING ALOT LAST NIGHT . WHICH IS A GOOD SIGN TO ME,BECAUSE HE AS JUST LAID HERE FOR DAYS NOW FEELING SO BAD .IT DID NOT LAST LONG, BUT IT WAS NICE TO SEE HIM BE HIMSELF.
HE IS SLEEPING COMFORTABLY NOW.5 DAYS DOWN AFTER TRASNSPLANT, WOW !WE HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN INPATIENT FOR 12 DAYS.
WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE ANYTIME NOW. THE DOCTORS SAY 14 DAYS AFTER TRANSPLANT TO START AND SEE SIGNS OF ENGRAFMENT .
I THINK WE ARE GOING TO START AND SEE SOME POSITIVE STUFF REAL SOON .LUKE IS DONE WITH THIS MESS I CAN TELL.HE'S READY FOR THIS TO BE DONE!

HI
EVERYONE THIS HAS BEEN A LOOOOOOONGGG DAY.
NOT MUCH TO REPORT .PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR LUKES FEVERS TO GO AWAY HE IS STILL HAVING ONE, AND HIS MOUTH IS HURTING HIM BAD .HE IS UNABLE TO TAKE TYLENOYL ANY LONGER SO IT IS HARD TO KEEP HIS FEVERS DOWN. HE IS SLEEPING ON A COOLING BLANKET WHICH MEANS, WE ARE SLEEPING ON A COOLING BLANKET.
NOT FUN.
IT IS AWFUL ENOUGH JUST TO BE SLEEPING IN THE HOSPITAL, LET ALONE ON A COLD PLASTIC THING WITH A VERY THIN SHEET OVER IT.
I THINK THIS IS TORTURE.I REALLY WANT TO SEE LUKE START FEELING BETTER .I AM HOPING ,AND BELIEVING TOMORROW WILL BRING A NEW DAY.LUKE IS SO STRONG .HE IS IN SO MUCH PAIN BUT HE STILL TRIES HIS HARDEST TO BE POLITE TO EVERYONE THAT COMES INTO SEE HIM BY WAVING BYE.IT IS SOO SAD.WE HAD A LITTLE SCARE YESTERDAY WHEN LUKE CHOKED ON HIS MOUTH SECRETIONS ,AND COULD NOT GET AIR SO NOW HE IS ON ASPIRATION PRECAUTIONS.I THINK WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO THE RIGHT DOSE OF MORPHINE SO HE IS A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE.BECAUSE OF HIS HIGH FEVERS HE IS UNABLE TO HOLD ON TO HIS PLATLETS SO HE IS GETTING TRANSFUSED TWICE A DAY.WE CAN ONLY GO UP FROM HERE I HOPE.
WE LOVE YOU, AND NEED YOUR PRAYERS FOR FAST RECOVERY NO FEVERS AND NO UN-WANTED SURPRISES.
BELEIVE...
HOPE.....
AND TRUST !!!!

HI
LUKE IS SNORING NOW.IT SOUNDS SO CUTE.HE CONTINUES TO HAVE A FEVER BUT WE ARE STILL ABLE TO GET HIM TO TAKE TYLENOL PO ,BECAUSE IT DOES NOT COME I.V AND THAT IS A GOOD THING THAT LUKE WILL STILL TAKE IT BY MOUTH,BECAUSE HIS MOUTH IS HURTING SO BAD HE CANT SWALLOW HIS OWN MOUTH SECRETIONS.
LUKE IS MAKING HIS DADDY LAY NEXT TO HIM NOW. IF HE TRYS TO MOVE LUKE GETS RIGHT UP AND SAYS "LAY DOWN WITH ME ". I THINK LUKE SLEEPS WITH ONE EYE OPEN.HE IS SUCH A LITTLE RAMROD.HE KEEPS MAKING US HEAT UP HIS FOOD AND LAY IT OUT. EVEN THOUGH HE CANT EAT IT .THEY ALSO INCREASED HIS MORPHINE PUMP TODAY, TO TRY AND KEEP HIM MORE COMFORTABLE.I THINK ITS WORKING SO FAR.
ALL LUKES BLOOD CULTURES ARE STILL NOT GROWING ANYTHING.SO THAT IS GOOD! HE DID GET A TRANSFUSION FOR PLATLETS LAST NIGHT, AND THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE HIM ANOTHER ONE IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
THEY DID START HIM ALSO ON I.V NUTRITION CALLED TPN OR HAL SO THAT WILL CONTINUE TO HELP HIM STAY FULL OF GOOD STUFF LIKE ELECTROLYTES PROTIEN ECT.
THIS IS SO HARD TO SEE YOUR CHILD LIKE THIS ,BUT TO KNOW THIS IS THE LAST TIME HE WILL EVER BE LIKE THIS MAKES YOU BE ABLE TO KEEP GOING.
GOD HAS APPOINTED ME TO BE HIS MOTHER ,COMFOTER & WHATEVER HE NEEDS SO HE CONTINUES TO GIVE US ALL WHAT WE NEED TO KEEP GOING EVEN IF WE ARENT QUITE SURE WHERE OR WHY. ALL OF YOURS PRAYERS ARE HELPING US EACH DAY MORE THAN YOU COULD EVERY KNOW.

HI
LUKE IS T+1
HE WAS UP FOR A LITTLE WHILE THIS MORNING ,HE WANTED TO EAT BUT HIS MOUTH HURTS TO BAD, AND WE PAINTED AND DID SOME DRAWING.
THEN LUKE GOT TIRED.
HE HAS BEEN DOING WELL .HE IS ON A COUPLE OF ANTIBIOTICS BECAUSE OF THE FEVER(99.00-101.00)HE HAD THURSDAY MORNING THE BLOOD CULTURES HAVE BEEN NEGATIVE THUS FAR.
CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR LUKE ALOT HE DOESNT FEEL WELL AT ALL ,AND PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM TO HAVE PEACE,COMFORT &HEALING IN THE DAYS AHEAD.I JUST HAVE TO KEEP REMEMBERING NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHEN WE LEAVE HERE WE WILL NEVER SPEND THE NIGHT IN THE HOSPITAL AGAIN .WE WILL BREATH THE FRESH AIR OF ALL THE SEASONS.HE WILL BE FREE TO RUN AND PLAY WITHOUT BEING "HOOKED UP "TO HIS IV POLE.
ON MONDAY WHEN THEY UNHOOKED HIM FROM THE FOUR DAYS OF CHEMO I SAID "LOOK LUKE YOUR NOT HOOKED UP" AND HE STARTED TO CRY ,BECAUSE HE WAS SCARED THAT HE WASNT "HOOKED UP". I WAS CRYING BECAUSE I WAS GLAD THAT HE WAS FINALLY FREE OF BEING"HOOKED UP" TO THIS POSION GOING INTO HIS LITTLE BODY.
THIS IS ALL HE HAS KNOWN AS NORMAL THESE LAST MONTHS . HE WILL SOON NOT SAY THE WORDS :HOSPITAL, I'M HOOKED UP, I'M GONNA THROW UP, AND NURSES I'M BEEPING.
WE LOVE ALL HIS NURSES BY THE WAY ,AND DOCTORS. THEY ALL HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF BOTH OF US .THEY DID NOT KNOW THEY WERE GETTING TWO PATIENTS WHEN THEY GOT LUKE, AND THEY WERE ALL VERY SWEET.
WE LOVE YOU ALL FOR SUPPORTING US.
ANOTHER DAY DOWN...........

LUKE DID IT HE DID IT !!!!!!!!!!
HE RECIVED HIS TRANSPLANT @4:00-5:00
HE WAS ASLEEP HALFWAY THROUGH AND THEN HE WOKE UP ,AND WAS A LITTLE CRANKY BUT HE DID IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO NOW WE ARE JUST SUPPOSE TO WAIT FOR ENGRAFTMENT WHICH THE DOCTORS SAY TAKES ANYWHERE FROM 10-21 DAYS FROM NOW UNTIL HE GETS HIS COUNTS. PLEASE BE PRAYING FOR NO FEVERS AND NOTHING .

Hi
T-1
Tomorrow is the big day.Luke will recive is stem cells and we are praying for fast engraftment of the new cells.As soon as they take hold in his body he will then begin to recover from the effects of the chemo that they gave him post transplant day .
I know in my heart God has all this in his control I have complete peace about the
rest of these days.
Our Luke is still trying to eat but his mouth is starting to hurt he still feels naseua.I continue to have faith in Lukes miracle of healing he will show to everyone that God has carried him and me all the way through.By Faith and Believing
James 1:3-7
"becuase you know that the testing of your faith develops perserverance.
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
If any of you lacks wisdom,he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault,and it will be given to him.
But when we ask, he must belive and not doubt because he who doubts is like a wave at sea,blown and tossed by the wind."
When God does something it is DONE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are resting in HIM.
Love

Luke Webb is 21 months old today .
He was just recently diagnosed with neuroblastoma .His chemo -therapy treatment has started and he is getting ready for cycle two.Pray for Luke to be comforted in this rough road ahead and that he will be a miracle of healing!They will be testing his bone marrow to see if it is ready to start trying to be colleted.Our prayer request now is they will have no complications and they will get what they need the first time they try to collect stem cells for his upcoming bone marrow transplant following these six cycles of chemo-therapy.Thank you for all your support and prayers.
