Luke's Heart

A few of you have been asking about Luke's heart and how he's doing in that respect. I hope you assumed that no news was good news!

As of this afternoon, all of the tests run on him have shown that his heart is functioning properly. Neal & Lindsay have been told that the ductus issue (detailed on the right of this blog)...

"They are worried that when Luke's Ductus closes, the Coarctation will appear."


...can take anywhere from 24 hours to 5 days to close. While in the hospital, the nursery is running a test at the request of the pediatric cardiologist every 12 hours. So far so good!

Her pediatrician saw Luke this morning and had nothing but good things to report.

She appreciates all of your prayers and asks that you keep praying that this will be a non-issue and they can take home a perfectly healthy little boy and continue to get good reports regarding his heart.

At our church staff meeting today we prayed Psalms 139 over Luke. I wanted you to know that First Baptist Lubbock is praying for complete healing for his sweet heart. I hope you get to all go home very soon.
