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.
JAMES4:14
"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"
( THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FOR STRENGTH AN DIT ALSO REMINDS ME OF LUKE)
JAMES 1:12
"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"
GIVE YOUR KIDS A BIG HUG AND KISS AND THANK GOD FOR ALL THE PEOLPE IN YOUR LIFE I THANK GOD FOR ALL OF YOU.

Hi Carrie and Luke!
We have been thinking about you two and praying everday for a full recovery. Kailey really misses you both a lot and is looking forward to be able to see you soon.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perserverance. Perserverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:2-4
This is a bible verse that Kailey has memorized. We will continue to pray for your family as well.
Love you both,
Lana
