Tuff Stuff

I can't believe it's almost 4 already, the day is going by fast. Luke is sleeping all wrapped up in towels after his bath. I have classical music on the radio, the nurse said its soothing. We had a scary episode earlier, Luke sat up and started coughing and his whole body shook, he stopped breathing for a second and then threw up the lining of his esophagus...of which I know now but at the time I was pushing the nurse button wondering what on earth was coming out of his body. Yucky, sorry if this is too much info, but if you ever have a stem-cell transplant at least you will know what to expect...maybe it's still to much info...well I could go on with more yucky stuff but I won't. For now we are getting one of those push button pain medication things so Luke won't have to wait in pain for a nurse to get him medication. Oh, he just woke up. Better go ~ Erica

  1. Hi Erica and Luke from Dar, Danise, and Teresa. We are in Tehachapi at my sister and brother-in- law's house for the weekend with other Chritians for a leadership trainng and we all just stopped and prayed for you. Give Luke our love! Here is a psalm of hope for you both tonight,"Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the Lord delivers him in times of trouble. The Lord will protect him and preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes. The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness." (Psalm 41) Love you so much - ~Dar
