Thanks so much for everyone that has been praying for us and for Luke. He had his EMG test done today at University Hospital in Indianapolis. It was quite painful for him and equally as heartbreaking for Brett and I to watch. They specialist was able to confirm 100% that there is no nerve damage in his legs. This is good news I guess, if you can call it that. The fact that his nerves are not damaged indicates that his issues with walking and his legs are coming from either his brain, his spine or both. This further points to a demyelenating disorder, like Multiple Sclerosis. We already know from his last MRI that he has the one spot on his brain, but at the time his spine looked clear. He has started to show some signs that he might be having vision problems as well has some numbness and pain in his cheek and face.
Because of the worsening of his symptoms he will be having another MRI on Wednesday, July 30th. He will also be having his vision checked in a few weeks by another specialist. With all that is going on around him and his weekly visits to one doctor or another, he never ceases to amaze us with how well he handles it all. He just stumbles around, drooling like a St Bernard with a huge smile on his face. God is amazing and we praise him for what He has done in Luke's life already, and what we know that He has planed for him. We are so blessed!!!

Wow, poor little Luke. I will definitely continue to pray for him and for your family! I miss you all. Thanks for your encouragement even from across the country! I'll update my blog probably tomorrow after my first day on the job. :-) Peace of Christ be with you!
