I did post this on P&B:everything pregnancy Prayer Request board, December 2001 and, to get as many prayers as we can, please, please pass this along. Thanx in advance, Kiddos! We don't have much time


I was talking with a friend the other day and she told me about her son. Now, I have to touch on his history here...... When my friend was pregnant, they weren't sure he would make it to term, let alone make it through the birth. Then, after he was born, they didn't give him past his first birthday. When he made that,they said he wouldn't make it past 5 or 6 years old. He has made it to and past those b.days. Not without some problems, but he has made it and fairly healthy at that.

Okay, back to a week ago. My friend told me that she had taken Luke, his name, to the hospital in Denver. She said that he had become paralyized (sp) on the left side. Something like a stroke, but the Doctors weren't sure. So he had a ton of tests done and she was still waiting on the results.

I had seen his sister, Ashley, at the Car Show at the park this last Saturday, but forgot to ask how Luke was doing....if they had found out anything new. My oldest DS, Adam, he goes to school with her ( she will be a Senior and Adam will be a Junior ), said that he talked to his friend Blaine, who is a neighboor ( and has a slight crush on Ashley ), had talked to her about Luke. The news is not good........ Seems that he has a tumor, I don't know if it is the tumor he already has which his Mom said the Dr.'s told her that it was okay, or if it is a new tumor, but anyway this is a nasty tumor and the Doctors aren't giving him past a month.

Now, I'm not giving up on him, Luke has beat the odds before, but I'm sure sending him and his family tons of ers and tons of and tons of

He is a good kid and hasn't let lifes challenges get him down
Please send him all the thoughts and prayers you can. If anyone would like to send him a card, let me know & I'll ask Dee if it's okay for him to recive cards from y'all.

His name, again, is Luke. His Dad and Mom are Tom and Dee
And his sister is Ashley.

I KNOW prayer CAN work!! It did for me!! Thanks in advance!

p.s. Luke is going to be in 7th grade this next school year, he is about 11 1/2 and already in Hospice. I'll keep updates posted when I get them. Come on Gals, he needs all our prayers and thoughts!!
