In an effort to send Luke and his family our thoughts and prayers, and keep everyone up to date with Luke's condition, we've decided to start this blog. We will try to be as up to date and accurate as possible, please be patient as we receive the news, hopefully when the family is able they can update here as well.
Please continue to pray for Luke and his family. Here is what we know so far.
On October 27th at approx. 11:30 p.m. Luke was on his way to work on his motorcycle. The San Diego police received calls that there was a guy driving down the wrong side of the road, so the police were pursuing him. He attempted to hit one guy on a motorcycle but that guy saw him coming and was able to pull over. This guy saw Luke & intentionally swerved to hit him. The cop said they've booked this guy with everything. . . attempted murder, deadly weapon, etc. the cop believes that he was NOT intoxicated and he may not have any drugs in his system. The guy showed NO remorse for what he had done. And the cop assured us that he will do everything in his power to get this guy locked up for good.
Here is Luke's condition according to Luke's sister Becki:
They have Luke sedated and we can't talk to him or touch him. They want him as relaxed as possible. He has drainage tubes coming from all over his body. His left arm is in a cast & they will eventually remove his left leg up above his knee. Right now it's cut off at the knee. They also have made incisions on his left thigh to relieve some of the pressure. On Thursday they want to go in and put a stint on his aorta - as long as he's stable enough. They are currently keeping his blood pressure low. He has received so much blood that they said he will need to be kept on the ventilator for quite some time. They may even need to do a trach (sp?) on him. We really want to be able to talk to him & touch him & let him know we're all here, but we just can't.
Luke is at The University of California - San Diego Medical Center. If you'd like to send him a card the address is:

UCSD Medical Center, Hillcrest
200 West Arbor Dr.
San Diego, CA 92103

Late in the evening of October 27th, 2008, Luke was critically injured by a wrong-way driver while riding his motorcycle to work for the Border Patrol in San Diego. We will use this site as communication to and from the Dithrich family. Please feel free to leave comments for the family.

I and my family continue to think about & pray for Luke. We're so prooud of this young man for his service to his country. We're confident this is just a "bump in the road". Thank you for the postings keeping us up to date.
Our best wishes . . .
OUR FAMILY HAS LUKE AND HIS FAMILY IN OUR PRAYERS IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO JUST CALL ON US .SCOTT AND ROBIN
We are all thinking about you during this time. We all feel a bit helpless in ways to help you, with you being so far away from PA. Due to the amount of blood Luke has received I am asking all who read this (and who are able to) to donate blood in Luke's name. Call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE to find a local Red Cross. Ask them to give you a card to send to Luke and his family telling them you donated blood in his name. If you are not able to give monetary donations to the family, this is a wonderful way to feel like you are helping and providing something that is so cherished in this world. All it costs is your time.
Lots of love and prayers are going out to ALL of you!
Our prayers & love are with all of you. Iaiah 40:29 "He gives strenght to the weary and increases the power to the weak."
Although we don't know Luke and his family personnally, we are all united as one BIG BP family. Our thoughts/prayers are with all of you-daily. We will continue to do whatever we need to to support our BP family and Luke recovers 100%.
Respectfully,
Dwight and Debbie Davis
Georgia and I are offering prayers for Luke and for all the rest of the family. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help out.
Every day, I & the MAYBS director families think of the Dithrich family. Everyone is praying & "pulling for" Luke's recovery. Much support is promised when Luke & his family return to Meadville.
We are so sorry to hear about Luke. Stay strong and have faith. We will be praying for you all.
Bill, Paula & family: this boy is strong in body, mind & soul. He has been & continues to be my young hero. I think about you folks & him 24/7. I know his strength (& yours) will win out.
