Luke's Journey

Lukas had his pic line removed from his arm today !! He was very nervous about removing it. It has become natural for him to have a line in his body and he also knows this means pokes when he goes to doctor appointments and scans. He knows way too much for a six year old. Anyway...he started screaming when the nurse asked him to lay down and didn't stop screaming until she was done. I kinda thought he would be tougher than that thinking of all the pain he has been through. Please pray God will comfort him and spare him from worry and pain as we near the time for the IV's he needs to get for his scans on April 19th, 27th and 28th.

On a brighter note... we went to the "MAKE-A-WISH" wishing place today!! They have a beautiful brand new place near arco arena. When we walked in past the fountain we saw one thousand hanging stars from the high ceiling. Luke will have his very own star up there, forever more. They gave him a special key to keep in his pocket and they spent some time getting to know him. He drew pictures of what his wishes might look like and then unlocked a big door with his key. He entered a glowing blue room (his favorite color). In the center was a wishing well. Luke thought carefully about his wish and dropped it into the well. Suddenly the lights started twinkling and flashing the music started playing and we all danced...
