Update on Luke

I cannot thank you for the outpouring of support that we have received since Luke became so sick. People are praying for him all over the World. The prayers are being answered and I wanted to share with you the progress.

Luke did not eat or drink for about 7 days. We were able to keep some fluids in him but he continued vomiting. Three doctors looked at him and decided to start giving him an anti protozoa medication. We were unable to keep the medication in him due to the vomiting so there was little improvement.

We flew him back from Pokhara and that is when we posted about our trip and how sick he was. Many people began praying for him and he began drinking soon thereafter. It was not long before he started eating also. We were able to keep the medication in him and it appeared that he was starting to get better. Now he is running a high fever but we are able to control it with some medication. He has been to another doctor at Patan Hospital and they have run some tests but still cannot determine what is wrong with him. Please continue praying for him.

This has been a terribly hard time for us. Holding your one year old son when he cannot lift his head is the most horrible helpless feeling. He would only find the energy to cry for a little while then go back to sleep. His eyes were sometimes open but it looked as if there was nothing inside. It was like he was asleep with his eyes open at times. Thankfully, he is improving now and there is no doubt that it was thanks to all of you who lifted him up in your prayers. I know he still has a long way to go before he is healthy again, but I am comforted in watching him start to improve. Our God is a God who heals. I pray that He will be glorified through Lukes illness and him being healed.
