Still No Sign of the Prograf



This past week we were notified that once again Luke's blood shows no sign of Prograf. We have increased his dose and he is now taking three times more than his original dose. This new dose is really bothering his stomach, so along with the bloat he is also feeling a little sick. He is not eating much, and we pray that this medication will put him into remission soon.

Luke is going through a lot, but we know it can be worse, we could be on a donor list or taking far more serious drugs than Prograf. Luke's illness is teaching us so much about how fortunate we truly are. Because of this blog, and getting the word out about Luke's disease, so many people have reached out to us, and it is extremely heartwarming to hear from every single one of them. Whether it be a friend from years ago, or a distant relative, the encouraging words, positive thoughts, and prayers are not only appreciated, but are greatly needed. So thank you, thank you so much for thinking of my guy Luke.

The photos are of Luke with Luigi (a statue at my mom's house), and Lexi relaxing on Pa's shoulder.

Please pray for Luke to be strong and continue to breeze through whatever may come next.
