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 .

CARRIE&LUKE
