Luke did very good today with his breathing. When we went in to see him this morning they put a cap on the trach tube which is a one way valve that opens when he inhales and closes when he exhales so that he pushes the air up through his throat and vocal cords. This allows him to talk. He was able to go most of the day with the cap although it does tickle his throat more. He did quite a bit more coughing expelling material from his lungs.
Things that should be happening within the next few days are a swallowing test working towards allowing him to eat and drink and moving him from the ICU to regular room. All steps of progress in his recovery.

Good morning Luke, Bill And Paula. We will pray that the MRI results come back good so that Luke can move to a reg. room, that way you can spend more time with him. All the progress is wonderful and we are excited to see what happens next.
Blessings from the Young's
May our Father in Heaven continue to shower blessings upon you guys. MRI, trach, swallowing, elbow, arm, eyes and lungs... so much to pray for. But not too much for God to take care of!!! Thank you Lord for what you have done, what you are still doing and for what you will do through Luke and his family. May You, Jesus, receive the glory!!
Thank you so much for updating us daily on Luke. The first thing I do every morning is read your "blog" and I don't even know Luke. He is always in my thoughts and prayers as well as your family. Please continue to update us. Thanks so much.
Praise God for all his blessings on Luke and your family. I get goose bumps reading Luke's progress everyday knowing the Lord is blessing him.
Love,
The Donnellys

We will continue to keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers until Luke is dismissed and recovered. God bless and my family extends their love.
Dear Luke, Bill, Paula and family,
Such good news to hear about Luke's continued progress. We continue to lift you up daily in our prayers. I had the pleasure of taking one of the kids to school this morning, and while on our drive, we prayed for continued supernatural healing upon Luke, in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our thoughts and prayers,
