Mike arrived at the hospital after work yesterday evening with his bag packed to spend the night with Luke. I picked up Joe, Grace and Peter at my Dad and Mom's. As we loaded up into the mini van Peter hit Joe in the eye with his Little mermaid toy and of course there was all kinds of screaming and carrying on. My Dad said "Probably makes you want to go back to the hospital". Everything was fine by the time we got home, a block down the street.
I wanted to say a few Thank yous, first, to our friend Olivia Crocker for all the meals and treats you have been bringing us for the last...I don't know 6 months...we have been doing this now...I lost count of how many meals, we really appreciate your generosity. Also, thank-you to Manny for the Denny's meal you brought us (yummy), and Chris Smylie for the beanie you knit for Luke, he's wearing it right now! (I will try to post a picture soon).
Luke and Mike got news late this afternoon Lukas needed both a platelet transfusion and red blood cell transfusion. He had some benadryl before his platelets and took a nice nap. He is awake now eating goldfish and watching The Iron Giant (Thank you to the Dean's for the new movie) and his red blood cells are all done. Daddy is on his way home. Dr.Yim said he thinks Luke is on the up swing because his white blood cell count is 0.2 ...guess it's better than nothing.

Thanks for the updates! Love you guys!
ReplyDeletePraying for your endurance, strength, healing, and rest in the Lord. Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God". He is in control and will comfort you, guide you, strengthen you and bless you. When you feel you are at the end of your rope - remember that He is right there! In your weakness - He is strong!!! His mercies are new every morning!
It was such a blessing to get to spend a little time with you the other day!
Hope to see you again soon!

Hi Erica, its 3:30 am ..couldn't sleep and have wanted to read your blog for the longest time. now i have no interruptions :) i cry a little when i hear what you are going through...God never said life would be easy did He? I know some are very confused as to why a little boy has to suffer so much...i don't know the whys? I just know we have a God that said that ALL things work together for Good to those who love Him....I KNOW He said he would never Leave us nor forsake us. I KNOW He promised to be our rock and our salvation, a refuge...I am so glad for His Word that gives us hope and strength and peace....PLEASE let us (your church family) know if there is more we can be doing....whatever it is okay!!! we love you guys and i'm going to go now so I can pray for you before i try and go back to sleep :) teresa
