He’s Home!

Great news : Luke is now officially an outpatient! After being in the hospital just shy of 6 weeks, Luke was able to come home yesterday. So the plan for him for the near future, is to travel back to Kluge 3 days a week for daytime therapy sessions. Ben said that as they were pulling into the driveway, Luke said “I am so happy, I could just cry”! It was just great to see him and his family all together at home!

  18. THAT IS GREAT NEWS!!! We can’t tell you how happy we are for ALL of you!!! Enjoy your long awaited time together once again. It must feel wonderful to have everyone back under the same roof again. That bed, chair, seat in the car, etc.. won’t be vacant anymore. We are so happy for Luke and his wonderful progress that he has made since the accident. Keep up the hard work Luke!! You are going to make it. We can just feel it. We will be praying for you on the 28th.

  27. Praise the Lord! My kids have really been praying for Luke and continuously ask how he is doing. When I told them that he was home, my youngest, four year old Brynne, said, “that’s cool.” I asked them if they knew how that was possible after his accident and they said it was because of God. Yes it is!!!! We will continue with our prayers for Luke with his therapy and for the MRI on the 28th!

  28. I’m so glad to see that Luke is recovering. I know he has a long journey ahead of him, but I also know he has the will from God to get better, and stay better. 🙂 Hope to see you soon!

  29. Praise God and hallelujah! I know it feels so great to get everyone home, especially Luke!

    To Luke: As hard as this has been for you to endure, God has worked miracle after miracle through you. He was by your side through it all. Working through you, He brought people together from all over to pray for your healing and to bring praise and glory to His name.

    You must be extra special to the Savior to choose you for this great work. We are all proud of you, but most importantly, Jesus is proud of you, too.

    Hugs,
    Carole
