Luke was notified by Blue Cross that the requests submitted by his doctor and his physical therapist for him to get the C-Leg, the microprocessor controlled prosthetic has been denied. They feel that he is still in the healing process and that he should get a standard prosthetic leg. They said that he can apply again in 6 months for the C-Leg.
This is a big disappointment, but at least the door is still cracked for the future. At this point he is eager to get the standard leg so that he can get up and about. Otherwise he is doing well. We are hoping that things will move along in this new direction and he will have the prosthetic in order to come to Meadville in August.

Well, it's some progress. Get Luke the standard leg and let him show them what he's capable of and then let them see what more he could be capable of with the other. Luke's smart and he's strong...I'm sure he'll come out of this better than ever no matter what; however, I will continue to pray that the insurance company will make a way for Luke to get the better system.
We know this is disappointing news but we also know there is a reason and God will answer. Luke is strong---let him show the insurance companies that they are wrong and he is ready for this device. Glad to hear he is coming to Meadville this year. Keep us in touch of what is going on and find peace knowing others are praying for all of you.

Stay strong Luke. When you do get your bionic leg you can just this one for back up!!! Like a spare pair of glasses. God WILL provide the right leg at the right time. I know you trust him. Look forward to seeing you this summer. Prayers and best wishes. Momma Cat =^..^=
Luke my brother...well done. You're family is amazing. I praise the lord above for your recovery.

Hey Luke,
