Although Luke spent Christmas 2007 in warm and sunny San Diego apart from the rest of us, this was a first for Paula and I. While the rest of our family gathered at our home in Meadville, we spent the day at the rehab center with Luke, except for an hour and a half when we were able to get away to the Zamora household to once again visit Luke's dog, Boston, and to be treated to a delicious traditional Christmas turkey dinner. Since Luke didn't have any therapy on Tuesday because of travelling to doctor appointments, he had a full day of therapy today. This morning was occupational therapy. When it was done at 11:30, we booked to Zamora's for a brief visit and to enjoy the meal. We just made it back in time for Luke's physical therapy at 1.
Later we hooked up on line with our family and were able to see our grandkids showing off their Christmas presents and chat with the family. They got to see Luke open his gifts. While in the hospital we rigged up his X-Box for him, but he found that he wasn't able to effectively play the games he had for that with one hand. After seeing what he could do with the Wii systems that they use here for therapy, we felt that this would be a good gift for him. We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening playing it. He thoroughly enjoyed it and the day as well.

Glad to hear that you got to get our of therapy for at least a brief time. I'm sure everyone enjoyed seeing Luke opening his presents. How good it is to have Luke here with us this Christmas. How great is our God!
It is wonderful to hear how how great Luke is doing and that you guys are still there to help him with his therapy.
Love,
Mike, Bonnie, Andrew and Morgan
We are so happy to hear that you had a nice Christmas & did get out for a Christmas dinner. You have done so well & with faith (which you & your parents have shown a lot of) we believe you will be playing that new game in no time with both of your hands. Just hang in there & keep up the good work. God has brought you this far for a reason & we are sure he will see you the rest of the way. The pictures of you look great & we are so thankful for the progress you have made & thankful we can keep in touch with your Dad updating us. Your Parents are a great support to you. Four years ago to this time my husband spent Christmas & New yrs. in the hospital & thanks to prayers & a MIRACLE from GOD he made it. He was in for 8 wks. & 2 wks. therapy. Our prayers are with all of you. Del & Lois Kirkendall
