Happy Birthday Luke!!!

Luke is 3 today, and he is doing really well. His protein is not negative yet, but it is getting there. This is a big birthday for him because a year ago we were just starting to figure out that something was wrong, and the months that followed were very hard for Luke. It has been a long and trying year, and he has come out of it stronger, smarter, braver, and healthier. Luke is a good boy. He was definitely babied and a little spoiled while he was sick and on those horrible drugs. At the time we just wanted him to be comfortable and did not worry about how his behavior might change due to the circumstances. He is better now and rarely needs to be reprimanded, is very helpful, loving, and caring. There are times when I am talking to him that I wonder if he is turning 3 or 10! Last night at dinner he exclaimed, "Mom, this chicken is AWESOME!" I thought wow he is definitely not a baby anymore.....

Speaking of babies...Alexa is 10 months!! She is mobile and getting around a little too quickly for me. She is into everything and can really give Luke a run for his money. She is stubborn and gets what she wants!! She is eating all table food and LOVING it. In 2 months we will be celebrating her big day.

The photo of the two of them together was taken a little less than a year ago when Luke was very sick and very swollen, and Alexa was a newborn. The individual photos are what the kids look like today. What a difference!!

I am hoping that in the next couple of months I will be able to post something about remission, so stay tuned!

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