Physical therapy is having Luke do more and more each day. In fact, when we got in to see him this morning he was sitting in a chair beside his bed. He told us that they had him stand up beside his bed when they were working with him earlier.
He continues to improve on his eating as well and will probably be starting to eat some real food (before it hits the blender!) on Sunday.
The MRI he had done yesterday shows some problems with his brachial plexus. This is a network of nerves that conducts signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm, and hand. There is swelling and bruising around it. We don't yet know how serious the damage is or what the long term prognosis is. Please pray that when the swelling and bruising abates, feeling and muscle control will return.
Luke will be heading to a rehab center in the near future, possibly as soon as the end of next week. He has a lot of decisions to make concerning the what's and where's. We are supporting his decisions and are here to help out in any way we can.

WOW!!! After praying for Luke this morning We wanted to see any new updates and to our amazement and I'm sure your's as well when you walked into the room, there sits Luke. What a blessing to see the HUGH leaps over the past few updates. PT will probably start soon, slow at first but Luke like's to move right along so I'm sure he will do fine. PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!
Blessing's from the Young's
We are standing, sitting and kneeling in agreement with you, asking our Father in Heaven, who says He will give wisdom to those who ask for it, that He indeed will give the doctors and Luke the wisdom needed to make the upcoming decisions, that the problem with his brachial plexus will be a temporary one and that Luke will soar high and long by the power of the Holy Spirit so that the world may know that God is God, Jesus is Lord and the Holy Spirit is our Helper. There have been tremendous strides forward. Thank You God!
Luke, you better get those chompers ready for that turkey dinner, its a comin'. But even as good as that may be, God has even better things in store for you along with everyone else who calls on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
