Luke continues to fight for a fast recovery

Luke is healing quite well the day after surgery. The night was extremely long. Mom finally got some sleep while Dad stayed up with him from 11:00-5:00. This was Rhonda's first good sleep since two days ago. Luke didn't sleep that much, tossing and turning through the night. I was relieved about 5:00 and got to go back to the McDonald house for my rest. When I returned at 12:30pm, Luke was moved out of Intensive Care to the normal pediatric care. He continues to throw up occasionally but so far has been able to eat a popsicle. Most of his tubes have been removed and his only complaints are to go home and remove his head bandage which he calls his "hat".

Some Trexler relatives who live in the Harrisburg area have stopped by. His Pappy's sister (Aunt Janet) and brother (Uncle Don, Aunt Anne, and cousin Wendy) have all stopped in to visit him. Granny brought his brothers, Eric and Jonathan, and his sister, Kira. He's gotten several balloons and gift bags full Star Wars toys and Cars movie, Lightning McQueen. Julie Mills was nice enough to accompany Granny and the kids and show them the way to the hospital.

Luke is feeling better though and is definitely ready to come home.

I had no idea. You're in our prayers and I sincerely hope for a better-than-full recovery. Cherish the moments and write the memories - he'll appreciate it in time. Godspeed.
