Luke spent the day pretty much resting. We did take him for a stroll out of the rehab center and over to the cafeteria in the adjacent hospital. Jenna and I needed a bite to eat and Luke wanted to be up and about. We also played some cards and watched a movie. By early evening, though, he was tired out and fell asleep.
Tomorrow he has the barium x-ray swallow test which will hopefully get him off having to thicken all his liquids. He will also have his first full day of therapy.
Luke is very concerned, as we are, about his left arm. He does sense sharp pains in his finger tips and this evening he sensed pain in his elbow. We hope this is real pain from the damage to his fingers and from the surgery last week on his elbow and not phantom pain like he has been feeling from his leg. They should begin soon to do testing on the nerves. Continue to pray particularly for healing of the nerves in his left shoulder.

We are praying for those nerves. I know this roller coaster ride is a very difficult one. Satan takes delight in planting seeds of worry, and sometimes it takes so much energy to keep worry at bay. I also know that Our God's timing is so different then we want it to be. So give us your concern, we will pray and God will hear. Take a deep breath, make sure you are getting rest, the work ahead will be hard, and you all will need extra strenght and patience, and God will do what is best for Luke, according to His plan for him.

Hi Agent Luke, We have been following your progress and you finally got your cheeseburger. Oh for the simple things in life. I'm proud of you being a law enforcement member and also for the fight you are going through right now. Keep up the good work.
You remain in our prayers.
