The Ventilator is Off!

(STANDBY NOT VENTILATING!)


Praise God!
While Bob and I were visiting the NICU this morning, the nurse practitioner decided that Luke's jaundice was no longer a concern and within moments the photolight was turned off and his mask was removed! In even bigger news, Luke's vent was turned completely off this afternoon! What a beautiful day filled with so many wonderful steps forward. We are closer to bringing this little guy home and we can't wait. Please continue to pray for him and for whatever the future may hold.

Luke means "bringer of light, morning"

I read Isaiah 60:1 the day after Luke was born "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you."

Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart."

    praise the Lord! I love this passage in Isaiah...and Luke is my brother's name. I have been praying for him as bringer of light for quite some time. I love the name. I would send this in email if i hadn't already shut that down....anyway, praying for you all. So glad you are home, can't wait for precious Luke to be home too...
