Luke Turns One!!!








Happy Birthday Luke! Twelve months ago, baby Luke was born at only 4lbs! He has gone through a lot in his short life, including almost dying and having to be rushed to a NICU, and having major surgery on his arteries! Plus all the normal sickness (febrile seizures), and milestones that babies go through. We are so thankful and blessed to have him in our lives! We love him!
When we got the call that Pam's ultrasound didn't go very well and the doctor diagnosed Luke as failure to thrive in utero, I was devastated! But, God gave me Psalm 100 as reassurance that He is faithful. He is Luke's creator and loving Father. No matter what happened this holds true! We praise the Lord that tonight we had the privilege of watching him lick yummy frosting and shove ice cream in his mouth! (The girls enjoyed shoving ice cream in their mouths too and all of them ended up needing baths!) By the way, guess what word he was saying all night. . . Auntie! That's right, he loves me! Happy Birthday Lukeman!

Praise God! It is obvious that the Lord has a plan for this little one.

About the seizures, those are normal? What do you know about them. Has he outgrown them yet? Our little niece, Natalia, has seizures. I had never heard of them before her case.

I'm glad to hear that they're somewhat normal (I have a hard time calling them "normal"). However, I'm sure they're scary in the moment. Natalia had an ear infection a couple of weeks ago and fell down at church from a seizure. It was pretty scary to the family. I'm sure you can understand. Earlier this week she had to go in for testing, we're still waiting to hear of some results.
Aim, you're always an encouragement.
