He was served up his cheeseburger for lunch as ordered, which he thoroughly enjoyed as you can see:
After lunch Luke had physical therapy and worked on his standing using parallel bars. After getting into the standing position he worked on raising up on the balls of his feet. After a short rest he then worked on lowering to a slightly squatted position. I was able to snap a photo while he was working out.
After therapy Luke got a very special visitor. Boston came to see him. It was a very happy reunion for both of them.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I guess enough has been said. Although today was cool and overcast with occasional showers, it really was a picture perfect day for Luke.

Luke,
I cried seeing the picture of you and Boston because I know that it must have meant a lot to you and to Boston. It struck me though in seeing the pictures that there must be times when you feel overwhelmed and maybe a little alone in the midst of all of this, in spite of all of the love and support that you have. You have some tough decisions ahead that only you can make and a lot of work ahead to get to full recovery. But in those times when you feel like it's too much to take on remember that "God's grace is sufficient for you, for his power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Cor.12:9. Or in other words; His strength is perfect when our strength is gone. He will carry you through this just like he has all the way till now. I pray that you feel his presence there with you through all of this journey. We love you. Hang in there!
Love, Jill
Dr. Bill,
Thanks for the pics, I bet Luke is grateful to be wearing his own clothes again. Luke, don't give in and don't give up, look up and watch what God will do with your arm and in your life. Thanks for sharing your mom with us this past week. It has been a blessed time for all of us. Do not forget your extended family back here in PA is ready and willing to help out in anyway that we can. Just give the word and we'll be there, my friend. Until then, we will be patiently waiting and persistant in praying for you all that our Great God will fight for you, will shower His grace and new mercies over each of you so that each of you will grow in the knowledge of Him, so that you will go and proclaim to the world that there is no god like our God.
Luke,
It's great to see you coming along. I live in East county (Potrero) and do civilian observing on the border. I'll stop in to see you Wednesday this coming week. I've got a guitar lesson close to the hospital. I've got an '81 Harley Stugis in the shop that I haven't ridden for 3 years. I worked to complete my 36 Ford instead. Anyway its a good Christmas to see you progress. Ken
Luke, keep up the great work and I am really happy to hear how well you are doing I knew you had it in you. You are one of the strongest most loving and determined ppl I know I really wish I could come see you want to so bad. Well you will continue to be in my thoughts and really glad to see some got out there to see you and you got to see your dog. Well take care and continue to keep up the good work. Love ya buddy
Praise God!! It's so wonderful to see Luke up and smiling! I can only imagine how difficult all that Physical Therapy must be, we will continue to pray for you!
Love,
Heidi (Simmons) Gray and Family!
Luke,
What a joy to see these pictures of you- such answers to prayer! I'm so glad you can eat real food- and that you got to see Boston. We've loved having your mom back, even for such a short time. And what a blessing to have friends visit you. We continue to pray for you daily. And Bill, thanks so much for all the updates on Luke's progress!
Love,
Jesse and Tracy McCullough
