Amazing Luke # 2 as promised...






















1. Mya and Luke together- She has been Luke's greatest inspiration... They are virtual twins ( born in the same year). They have a special relationship that has helped both of them overcome some difficult medical issues...
2. Luke as Superman- this was taken on his 6th b-day...He is my Superman!
3. Luke in his external fixator at the end of the straightening. See how they hyper extend the leg because they loose some of it later as he grows... Looks weird I knowbut it works for kids with these conditions.
4. Luke in the PICU after left leg surgery and clubfoot repair. He goes there after his long surgeries to recover because of his heart condition... and praise God he has always done well.
5. Luke standing for the first time ever in his life- In Jan. 2007. It was hard for him . He had just had that colorful cast taken off and his brace put on... He was in the ex. fixator on the L leg until May and after they removed it and he had a 2 legged brace made and his reverse kaye walker came by Fed Ex... he was walking 2 weeks post op for the first time ever.... All the doctors and therapists were amazed... They did not think he would walk for a year... but that is how these children do things.... they are always amazing us.....

it really is incredible how much some of these children have to endure...yet their strength of spirit is even stronger for it.

What a sweet boy. His whole face lights up when he smiles :)
