Hello friends!
Thank you for continuing to pray for Luke and ask about his condition. Luke's condition is stable, and he has continued his oral chemotherapy treatments until his longer term treatment plan could be established. Yesterday morning the national tumor team discussed the results of Luke's biopsy, and then we spoke with Luke's Doctor in the afternoon. Basically, there are several genes within Luke's tumor that are "over expressed," and so the medical team has identified four medications plus two more natural remedies that address those specific gene anomalies that Luke will begin taking once his clinical trial begins. Luke will have diagnostic scans on Monday, and then a clinic visit on Thursday, and then once everything is confirmed he will begin his new regimen. All of these are oral medications, so Luke will be able to continue his treatments at home. He will also have regular clinic visits and will continue with school and physical therapy at home. We will continue to pray for complete healing for Luke. For a variety of reasons, Luke's condition makes it difficult for him to navigate our two story house. For the past year we have been hoping to transition to a ranch style home, so that Luke can use his wheelchair in the entire house, shower more easily, etc. We have looked at a lot of homes, and then last week we finally found what we've been looking for. We will be moving next month. Luke is very excited, and the idea is growing on Jay. Sam, in his own words, is "indifferent." Our new house is only a couple of miles away, still in Mason, and it's perfect for Luke's current needs as well as our overall long term needs. We will miss our home of 15+ years, but we are very thankful to have the opportunity to make this change. Will you keep praying for Luke? For no more cancer in Luke's body? He needs more healing. His medical team is trying some new approaches, and we want them to work! In the meantime, we are taking things day by day, enjoying our time with Luke, and welcoming a steady stream of visitors into our home on a daily basis. Our prayer remains the same. We can't stop, WON'T stop praying for God to heal our boy. (James 5:14-16) God bless, James & Lu (for Sam, Jay, & Luke)

Prayers for you buddy! My dad has been living in remission for close to two years now thanks to a Clinical trial he technically was too sick to be admitted to. God's hands are with you and your family and your medical team all the time. You have an amazing network. Never stop believing.

Every evening before I go to sleep in pray for Luke and for your family for strength and for healing. I also pray for quality of life for Luke and that he is able to enjoy all of the things that a young person typically enjoys. God bless you all.

Thanks for the update...prayers have been and will continue for the "C" to leave your body Luke and for the doctors to come up with the right combination to help that happen. Happy you will have a home that works for you, but sad you have to leave the home you loved for so long. "A day at a time" is a good motto to live by, since that is all any of us have (we have learned). We love you all and are here always. Please send your new address to me when you have it. Thanks. Prayers for strength and "StayStrong"!

I think of you often in my day and offer up quick prayers for strength and guidance and healing. I pray that you will show Christ's love to others that come across your path and will be used as a vessel for his glory. Again please post if you have any needs.

i have seen Luke at River View and he looks braver than I would be. I am not the best Christian to be Praying for Luke but I do, and for your whole Family. I have been blessed with a healthy family. My Prayers might be weak because of who I am but they are true.

We are continuing to pray for complete healing for Luke. We have also passed on a request to a family friend who is a seminarian studying in Rome to ask for daily prayers for Luke's healing as well.
