New Home




So here are some pictures from my closet/room on the highest floor in UCSF Long Hospital. It's 6 feet by 8 feet with a window. Just outside my window are some other room windows and the 2nd one is Luke's. I am 10 seconds away from his bedside. Kind of nice, even though I will have to move into a room in a Ronald McDonald home about 15 minutes from the hospital. (I knew all those Big Mac's would pay off somehow). This will be a little different as once I leave the hospital, I won't be able to just peek in and say hi and spend some time when I want. It will have to begin and end in a one stretch. We will see how that goes, but what is nice, is that mom is coming and will be better off in the new room. I don't know if I will have internet there, so this could be the last post for a while. Luke also had his MRI done today and we will not get results for a couple of days. He also had his IV taken out, so now it's all about the feeding. I fed him after his MRI and he had his eyes open the whole time. They must have done something because he normally wants to sleep. Pretty cool though for dad. A full feed is 50 cc's and he has taken one or two full feeds through a bottle, but mostly he takes about half and then is fed the rest through his tube. He needs to start taking all of it through the bottle before he is ready to come home. Hope for this and keep thinking of us. I know HE hears you. GO LUKE!!!!!!

Hey Dudes,

Just want to let you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Thanks for keeping the blog updated; we are checking it regularly. Please don't hesitate to let us know if there is anything at all that we can do to make this somewhat easier for all of you. Amy- I have appreciaed the verses that you have posted and found one that made me think of you guys:

Finally brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything is worthy of praise, dwell on these things. Phillipians 4:8

Certianly Little Luke is lovely and excellent, so we'll just keep dwelling on him and praying for all Good things for him.

Go Luke!!!

By the way, I have been eating McDonalds for two days in a row just to support Ronald McDonald Foundation for its good gestures!!

I truly hope Baby Luke can go home soon, I really can't eat McDonald everyday, haha, BUT I will continue to pray for Baby Luke, everything is in GOD's hand and we all know he will take care of Baby Luke.
