Hi everyone. Just a quick update on Luke's health. As many of you know, he has been dealing with various infections and stomach aches since around September of 2010 and we just haven't gotten to the bottom of it.
In December of 2011, he had blood work, CT scan of abdomen, ultrasound of groin and liver. All clear. Still dealing with infection and pain in abdomen.
After the ski trip last weekend, Luke showed me where he has been saying it hurts. There is a lump I can feel there now. Then his groin area swelled up again. Our family doctor saw him and said probably a hernia causing pressure in the area and referred us to a pediatric surgeon and called for an ultrasound.
So today, he had an ultrasound. The tech could feel the lump, but does not think it is a hernia. She said the radiologist would read it tonight, send results to the doc and tomorrow morning, we should get a call. Then we see the pediatric surgeon, or he calls for a CT scan first. then possibly exploratory surgery.
Luke is in good spirits but just moving a little slow and is tired. This is not at all normal for this boy, as many of you know...
We appreciate all of your prayers and will try to update tomorrow as soon as we know something.
Julie

Hopefully you got my email yesterday. The last few days I've been missing you guys and we would like to come sometime. It was like a burden, maybe this is why. . .we will pray. Another part of it is friends of ours just went public that they are going to the mission field, the wife has a 9 year old sister and it has been reminding me of when I was 9 and thought I would never see my sister again. . .praying for you all. love brent janelle & grey
Ugh...thanks for the update, but I'm not liking this news! We'll be praying for all of you, and especially Luke.
