Every one has been saying how much taller Andrew looks the last few weeks so I got my hopes up and measured him again and ...nothing! I couldn't believe it. I was so disapointed. Oh well, there are more important things right now and I will pray that it comes in time. But.. if there is some kind of secret I should know about, let me know. Love, Anne

Dearest Luke

I gently wrap warm thoughts of you
in my little christmas prayers
For Heaven to smile on you
For Angels to watch over you
and the love of Jesus to fill your heart

Have A Merry Christmas
God Bless You And Your Family This Holiday

Sorry to hear you are in the hospital but I'm glad you won't be there long! It's amazing how quickly kids learn! I wish that they never had to learn how to give IV's or take temps or test BP's but that's transplant life isn't it?
I will continue to pray for your family. And I hope you have a good Thanksgiving!!

Luke, what are you doing in there again?! Are you giving your mommy and daddy a hard time. You get out of there for the holidays. Pulmicort---good stuff. It serves us well. We are still on it with nary a problem. I really don't know if that means it works or we just don't need it. But I hope it serves you well. Take it easy and make them wait on you hand and foot.

I had originally planned to visit as many caringbridge sites as possible, and leave some encouraging words, prior to my daughters passing. Unfortunately her passing came sooner than we had expected, but longer than any of her doctors expected.

Another angel takes flight.

My daughter Pam had a brain tumor and was fighting the fight since November 4th, 2002, after the birth of her daughter (Casey Morgan). My youngest daughter, Karen, set up a caringbridge website for Pam. Karen's friends mother shared a prayer with us, that I would like to share with you and Luke. It's called DON'T QUIT:
Don't Quit -
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit - Rest if you must, but do not quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup. And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.(Just call on Jesus).

I would also like to share a saying that was on the card my wife Diane picked out, and we bought for Pam:

If you were a star
That wasn’t expected back
In the universe
For a thousand years,
I’d wait.

If you were the sky
And everyone went inside
When you got sad
And started to rain,
I’d stay.

And if you were a peach
And the world decided to get rid of all peaches,
I’d pick you up,
Put you in my pocket…

AND KEEP YOU…. FOREVER..

Prayers have scientifically been proven to work.

REMEMBER NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT. You are in our prayers. GOD bless you all.

Wow...Luke off to school on the bus!!! Kudos, kiddo!!! You can rest assured that I will be praying for very good results on his enzyme and donor cell testing. That's exciting about the newspaper article! I hope Nick gets into it when the reporter arrives! God Bless, and I'll be looking forward to Luke's bus picture and his test results!

Ah, the life of normalcy! I am so proud of Nick, Luke, and the rest of your family for the success you have found in Luke's transplant. To hear that he is going to preschool on the big yellow bus is an amazing feat for him! (Tell him not to let Presley know, as she would be sooo jealous!) I continue to wish the best for you all, and will definitely say an extra prayer for the engraftment and enzyme level tests. We certainly can attest to the power of prayer, so we are more than happy to share ours with others. I look forward to seeing you/ hearing from you soon!!

Ok, I just read on Riley's website that Luke was admitted after having his port removed because of ignorance on the part of the anesthesiologist... and I am very sorry to hear that. We fight and fight and fight for these kids and it's nothing but frustrating when something like that happens.

Oh man, YES...anthesiology should be a bit more knowledgeable about Hurler airways there at Fairview! Yikes, I was not happy to read about Luke's little side trip from the OR to the unit, but I suppose as long as he is recovering and he has supplied us with great news on his enzyme and intelligence, I guess I'll ease off about being too annoyed with anesthesiology! I hope your trip home won't be too much more delayed. Give him a huge hug for me!

Hi Sheila and Luke!
I am sorry there were problems (who ever said that doctors know EVERYTHING???) but glad that it seems to be only a minor setback in your trip. I think it's wonderful news about Luke's enzyme level and IQ scores. What a blessing he truly is! My prayers are with your family always, and I hope you have a safe and quick trip back hom in a couple of days.

Riley is coming soon too I here. Will you still be there? Almost forgot to mention the great news of 59% donor cells! That is good news! Just love Luke's new picture...that little gleam in his eye looks like trouble!!! Good luck with the rest of his appt's!

Love, Lisa Post <ltjpost@cox.net>

sheila, Glad to hear the great news. I have been thinking about you alot lately but I just havent picked up the phone to call you, no excuses I just havent. The relay for life was Friday into Sat so we were very busy with that. We raised almost 300000 dollars this year. An incrediable number considering we live in a town of 25000. I hope one day we will find a cure for cancer so no other parents have to go through what me and Al are going through.
I will talk to you soon.
God Bless you

Hi Sheila,

I'm sorry I have not contacted you yet but thank you for your phone number! I was just checking in to see if you had posted anything new since the last time I was here. When I opened the photo page this time I got a chill when I saw Luke. He looks so much like my Cameron that I was caught off guard for a split-second!

Things still seem to be going well for you right now... I am anxious for June to come and go to hear all the details about Luke's visit back to MN. I feel sure that all the news will be positive and will give you a sense of accomplishment. Your family will remain in my daily prayers, along with all my Hurler friends around the world!

Hello Sheila and Luke: I'm so glad to hear Luke is doing well. Life off of the CSA is great, and you won't believe your freedom when the line comes out! We are approaching our year anniversary as well, and I will sigh a big sigh of relief. I don't know why, but it seems like a big milestone to me. We are still working on Sarah's speech, and are looking into her spine surgery, but otherwise are doing well. Take care!

St.Albert, AB Canada - Friday, April 25, 2003 0:03 AM CDT

I am another Hurler mom in Alabama and I was thrilled to see the latest about Luke. Growing donor cells and showing the enzyme is the stuff that makes the whole transplant process worthwhile. I pray every night that God watches over all the Hurler babies and Hurler angels, like my son Cameron. He was transplanted in August 2001 in Ft. Worth, TX, quite a ways from home. The pictures of Luke look almost just like my son! They share quite a resemblance, that is for sure. I want to offer my prayers and support for your family, and let you know that I would love to hear from you any time you feel like contacting me.

Hey Luke and family: We are glad to hear that Luke is coming along. It is hard to believe that we are approaching a one year anniversary. All I can say (and hope) is that the worse is surely behind us. Sarah's spine continues to get worse, so they are talking about surgery this fall. I was hoping she would get at least a year off from hospitals! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Take care!

Hello Sheila! It has been a long time since I have posted, but I have been keeping track of Luke and including him in our prayers. Let's hope those donor cells can hang in there. There is a boy here in Ontario who is about 6 or 7 years old, who has been hanging around at 50% engraftment for years and is doing just great. He is even playing hockey, much to his dad's delight. Hang in there and keep the faith. These Hurler kids are strong, and deserve a break.

Hi Sheila,
Remember all is not lost and the boost will be a big help. My extra prayers will be said that Luke's transplant will continue to thrive and even increase. In the meantime, you are right, the effects of Hurler's is kept at bay and that is a blessing in itself.
Hugs from Connecticut.

Hello, my name is Laura and I came across Luke's page on a web page to "adopt" a kid. I am 21 years old and live in Asheville, NC. I had a friend at Duke Hospital Feb 2,2002-Oct. 19,2002. She had luekimia and had a bone marrow transplant in June. Sadly, she did not survive. Her heart became to weak due to the chemo. I have feel in love with some many children that she had became friends with. I was excited when I am came across this web page. I am currently in nursing school and I want to specialize in oncology when I am done. That is where my heart is. I have added Luke and your family to my prayer list. I fully believe in the power of prayer. The Lord can do awesome things. I will check on Luke daily. Talk to you soon.

I'll pray for those donor cells to kick in gear so that you will not have to take that trek back for another stay in MN. I know you'll gladly do what you have to do, but let's hope it won't be necessary.

Hi Sheila and Luke! I know all about boredom! We are living in virtual lock down! Everyone in our city seems to be sick, even Jake an I going grocery shopping is a risk. I am so afraid that we will bring something home! I think spring will bring relief to a lot of immunosuppressed families.

As for the boredom issue, we can totally relate, but just think, it won't be long now with the CSA taper nearly complete ... hang tough little guy, you're almost there!

Luke, we dont know each other, but my friend Amie & I are trying to raise awareness and generate more support and prayers for more kids' sites. If you havent already, soon you will be getting guestbook messages from someone who has "adopted" you and your site (that is, if you want to participate). My son has leukemia, so we have the common bond of having our lives turned upside down, and I know encouragement from others is important. We hope you are doing well and will be praying for your engraftment results .

Know it's hard for him to be in all the time - also hard for you, Sheila. We assume Eric will take you to Minn. Will he stay there with you? We will be praying for a safe trip, a room at RMH and especially for good news as to the results of tests. Our love to you all.

Thanks for keeping up with us and sending your love and prayers. They are powerful and much appreciated. I am glad to see that Luke is doing well so far. Hope the donor cells hang in there. In January when you see Dr. Grewal, say hi for us and tell him how much we appreciated not only his care of Alex, but also the kindness he showed Alex and myself.

Life without Alex is hard right now, but we are slowly rebuilding our family life. John is such a joy and is so grounding and wise.

I think that long ago children made a law requiring them to only get sick between the hours of midnight and 6 am!

I'm glad Luke's cultures came back negative, I understand what you said about the number of xrays, scans and tests that our children have had to go through in their first years. But that will hopefully seem insignificant compared to what they will acomplish in their futures! Futures that they wouldn't have otherwise!

Hi family - So happy to get the latest update. Wish we could see Luke praying at meals-what a great little guy. It's so great that his levels are staying good. We know you were anxious to get therapy started again. Hope it goes well and will continue to help him remain strong. We know you will be anxious to get back into your own home. How are Nick and Natalie doing now that they are in their own school and back with friends? We're sure they enjoying that. Our friends at church were thrilled to hear Luke is home and continuing to do well. He continues to be remembered by them. Take care and our love to each of you. U. Max & A. Suzie

Oh Luke, you are precious! Prayers and Potty Chairs...you sure know how to entertain your family!
Sheila, my prayers continue as always and I will say a special one for your little friend Alex. Does he have a web page?

Hi guys, Glad to hear that Luke is doing so well. We are fine here. We really miss Adam, but know he is in a much better place than we ever could have provided here on earth for him. We will see him again someday. The holidays are coming and we know that we will have a hard time but Austin is only 9 and we have to be strong for him. He deserves to have a happy childhood. Do you have a website for Alex. I feel so bad I know what his family is going through. Also do you know how Morgan is doing and does she have a web site: Keep in contact. I read your updates, it sounds like he is so funny. I love the thing about praying at dinner, Me and Al got a good laugh out of that. Ruth

Your little Luke is sooo precious! He looks nearly the same size as ours! My Luke is 2. Thank you for signing our guestbook too- it is soooooooo unfortunate that we have to meet each other under these circumstances! If you need anything, an ear to bend or someone to cry to (or with) please email me= I AM THERE and I know what you are going through in this fight to save our son's lives. It is awful, horrible and a true nightmare. But God also gave us beautiful children and loving people to help us stay strong. Please contact me for ANYTHING! We only live down below you in Ohio! Maybe we could rendevous up in Toledo sometime! Blessings!

Sheila you have every right to brag! That is phenomenal how Luke is such a trooper about taking all those yucky meds! I used to have a terrible time just trying to get my daughter to take amoxicillin when she was little. We tried hiding it in just about everything, and it never failed...all she had to do was get a whif of it and she was gagging before it even hit her lips!
Good job, Luke! That's one less stress for your parents!

Dear de Volder family: It has been a while since we have corresponded, but I am very glad to hear that you are all home. I know Sarah just blossomed when she got home, and started getting better at a quicker rate. I am also glad to hear you are holding steady at 50/50 - heck, us parents are only working at 50% normal enzyme level, and look at us (a little exhausted and strung out, but otherwise healthy!). Keep the faith!

I also feel alittle sad that I won't have the pleasure of seeing you in the lounge and play areas at the house. Luke is a brave and very strong little boy and will have a happy and wonderful life. I will see you in January. God bless you all and you will remain in my thoughts and prayers daily. Have a fun drive home it will be fabulous.

His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. God is in charge, and indeed has a very good reason for the delay.

You are Eric are being used in a mighty way to bless many people. Rest in the knowledge that Jesus is Lord.

Looking forward to seeing you and the kids!

Hi Sheila and Kids! Julie dropped off some of the journal entries today for us to read at the Marshall Academy office. I just looked at the pictures, the one of all 3 kids is great!It sounds like Luke has progressed very well, I was sorry to hear about his line having to be replaced. I have been praying for Luke and your family, I will keep praying. You and your Faith are an inspiration to many, including myself! In reading the journal it looks like you & Eric celebrated your 9th anniversary on Sept 18th. My husband and I celebrated our 9th anniversay on the 18th too!
I will continue you praying for you, I look forward to seeing you and the kids soon! Much love and God's Blessings, Jill

Thanks for signing our guestbook. This will be a nice way for us to keep in touch while we're in here and y'all are back at the house. Alex is still on for his liver biopsy tomorrow. I hate having to do another procedure. Alex's sister, Lee, arrives tomorrow so that should cheer him up. I can't believe how well Luke and your kids are doing. I pray your test results are positive. You have such strength and serenity. It is inspiring. See you around!

Hi, Nick and Happy Birthday. You probably won't see this until your big day is over because I just learned that today is your birthday. We have never met. I'm your grandpa Tom's stepbrother and live in Jackson MI. Maybe when you all get back to Michigan we can get together. I'm so glad you were able to donate for Luke. That's what big brothers are for! I don't know your Mom either but have been reading all of her E-mail letters and am so happy to hear that Luke is progressing. Keep up the good work, keep the girls (your Mom and sister) happy. I think of you all often and pray that all will continue to go well.

Dear Sheila and Luke,

What a joy it is to catch up with your journal entries! God is good, indeed. CPR hits the road this Friday at 5 a.m to travel to PA and NY, and our practice schedule has been intense to say the least! This is the first time I've been home before dark in longer than I can remember, so while I pray for you and Luke; my time to be on the computer has been more limited than I realized.

Enjoy your time with Eric and the kids; and with the kids after he comes back home. We miss you and Luke and can't wait until you're both back home.

Hi Sheila,

Indeed, God is so good! It is such a joy to hear how well Luke is doing. We had a wonderful cell group meeting Tuesday night, it was so good to see Eric and the kids.

We are getting ready for the CPR road show, and are practicing 3 or 4 times a week. We do a dinner theatre presentation Sunday, then have to learn the second show between now and when we leave on August 8 or 9, so it's pretty hectic.

I'm so anxious to see what God is going to accomplish through the transplant and protocol - how exciting to stand back and watch Him at work!

Hugs to you and Luke,

bonnie

It is encouraging to hear that Luke is engrafted at 50%. We will now pray that either it stays or increases with Nick's cells. The important number will be that enzyme and I am praying really hard that he now has some! Thanks for letting us know how he is doing.

Sheila,
The first day your family is gone is always the hardest, but it will get easier. You and Luke will soon get into a routine, especially with him having therapies. Then when your family gets back, you will probably get frustrated when they interupt your routine!!! Believe it or not, a month will pass and they will be back. We will get you out and do something. Just take care of yourself so you can take care of Luke. Grow Cells Grow!!! Oh, I am sorry to say that we will be leaving the unit in a day or so, but you have wonderful people here and I will be a phone call away.

Sheila,
Sometimes it's so hard to be a mom isn't it? From one mom to another I know you will find more strength and courage than you could ever imagine. Goodbyes are always the pits, but the kids will get into their own routines and so will you with Luke. Hopefully the month will go by faster than you and they will be back for a visit before you know it. In the meantime, we will help to lessen your loneliness with our emails, greetings, and phone calls. Just keep picturing next summer at home with the whole family and this whole transplant business behind you! Now doesn't that bring a smile to your face?! :)
My prayers are with Luke every day for a successful transplant and a great enzyme level!! I have faith!

Dear Family, So glad the transplant is done and pray that the cells are growing. Sounds like Luke is doing well so far; hopefully that will continue with God's help. We were sorry to hear that you had the flu, Sheila. Glad it didn't keep you down too long. Know you want to be with Luke every minute. Appears that Eric and the kids are keeping busy. We're so glad there is a church there for all of you. We check the updates every day-it is so good to be able to know what is happening. We love you all and pray for you daily. A. Suzie & U Max

Yeah!!! It is finally here. I said an extra little prayer for Nick and Luke today that all would go well. I saw Nick in the hall walking around and said he was doing okay. Luke was on the mat playing with dad and looked great. Now the waiting begins, but be patient and don't forget that I am only a few doors down or a phone call away.

Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to let you know I am checking on our little guy and will certainly keep everyone here up on his progress. He's won a lot of hearts already - as you all have. Want you to know that I (and my family) are keeping each of you in our prayers - and especially little Luke. He is a terrific little guy with a strong spirit - with that and your faith and a great medical facility....! Please give Luke a hug for me. I am keeping the garage door down and the chickens in the barn until he returns! God bless you.

P.S. Glad he likes the therapist!
Also am touched by your wonderful caring for each and every one of the children and families there. You are truly an amazing family.

I am so glad you guys are finally here in the unit. Try not to worry too much, just one day at a time and thank God for each and every day. Luke is so sweet and so is Nick and Natalie. God will see you through this journey. Rick and I believe there is a time for everything. Our delays for transplant was in the hands of God as he was preparing the right Hurler families to be together during this time. Although I wish you would have been able to be here to meet and spend time with the families of Alexis, Andrea, Soumner, CJ, Elliot and Carley. I have learned that Hurler families stick together for everything and will do anything to help each other out. I am here if you need anything. Enjoy your time with you family and preparing for the big day!!!

Praise God for how well everything is going. Joan and I were talking during our walk this morning about how good God has been through all of this - that radiation won't be necessary, that you won't be 6 months in isolation, for how the Church and community has grown together.

My boss has a daughter, Sarah, who had to have a bone marrow transplant last November. They were hoping to have her home by Christmas - she was home for THANKSGIVING DINNER!!!

Looking forward to having all of you back home soon.

I pray that Natalie is doing well and that Luke and the other children at the RMH don't get the pox. Shelia, lets see if we can try this again...Luke should be coming in about the time Riley gets out...from his second transplant. Please be patient and don't get too upset for your delay, all things happen for a reason and don't question God of why. We are here if you need us, we're not going anywhere right now.

Sheila, Eric, the coverage in the papers has been wonderful. You all are in our prayers. This is very nice to be able to keep up with Luke's progress. Eight years ago I went through a liver transplant so I relate a little to your transplant experience. You have a darling family. We know God will watch over you as he did me. Love, Joyce and L.J.

Eric, Sheila and Children~~
It was good talking with you yesterday, Sheila. Remember what I said about hope. Children are like rubber balls ~~
they bounce back, over and over.
I will be watching Luke's progress closely. Now knowing someone who has the same disease as Mindy and who has the
opportunity for treatment makes you all very dear to my heart.
Please call or email me whenever you like. I remember the
l-o-n-g days Mindy and I spent in New York.
God is with you always.

Hello, I too have a son with Hurlers. He is 5 yrs. old and 3 yrs. out of transplant from the University of Minnesota. Your journey has just begun and I will keep Luke and your family in my prayers. My daughter at the time was 4 and the donor for her brother.

"He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation." taken from Psalm 91.
I work with Ruth Dunn, and I just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this critical time. I know how hard it is to have a sick child, one of my relatives, Susie - 6 yrs, has Cystic Fibrosis, so we go from day-to-day. It is good to remember also that God holds their lives in His Hands. I pray that Luke lives a long and prosperous life. God bless you all,

Although we have never met, we share many common friends ... my daughter, Susannah, is another Hurler darling who went through BMT in Minnesota. She is now 18 months post transplant and doing well. In fact, we just celebrated her 3rd birthday yesterday! We wish you strength and send you prayers, as we know how very busy the coming months will be for you all. Rest assured, however, that your little Luke will be in wonderful hands, as you couldn't ask for a more dedicated and compassionate group of physicians and nurses! All my best, Amy White

Dear Luke and family,

Our family is praying for you. Keep focused on the Lord and He will give you the Grace and Strength to weather this storm. "It's not in trying but in trusting, it's not in running but in resting, it's not in wondering but in praying, that you find the strength of the Lord" - I love this song and hope it ministers to your heart also. ISA 41:13 says "For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee".

Dear Luke & Family
I have been praying for you, as many have at our church, ever since your Uncle Tony told us about your situation. I continue to pray as you go for your transplant. We will watch the website (what a good idea) for updates.
God bless you all and give you grace and strength.

Precious Luke and Family, You are in our constant thoughts & prayers. Uncle Tony and I have been healed and touched over the past 16yrs through the power of prayer. Daily you are being covered. "But to you who fear My name the Sun of rightousness shall arise with healing in His wings. "Malachi 4:2. We have several families in our church who pray for you. When Grandpa & Grandma DeVolder were here for Easter Sunday, they had the opportunity to meet them. Thank you, Lord, that you suffered and died for us so that we might be healed. We lay claim to that heritage of healing which You have promised in Your Word and provided for those who believe.

Devolders,
You've made a lot of progress in a short time, and I know all the work involved in that; I also know it will be worth it to you! We wish you the best during bone marrow transplant in Minnesota. Our little Eddie will be 13 years post bmt on June 8, the year was 1989; and we celebrate it like we do Eddie's birthday-- giving thanks for his re-birth through bmt for he is now a healthy little guy and is 15 1/2 years old. I hope knowing that will help you keep the faith. Never give up hope. Keep a positive attitude--no matter what--to help Luke during his difficult times, and he will be just fine. God bless you and keep you all safe through your upcoming journey. We will be thinking of you constantly.
Love,
Jean, Al, and Eddie Ducham

Luke, I appreciate your uncle Tony providing me with the opportunity to pray for you and your family. I know what it is to face a serious health crisis as my wife recently faced cancer. I will be praying for you in the days to come, that the Lord will meet your every need! He knows exactly what you and your family need right now and in the days to come because none of this is a surprise to Him. I know the Lord is going to bless you and you family in ways you can't imagine.

Luke and Family....Happy Easter!! We just wanted to say hi and can't wait to meet you when you get here in Minneapolis. We wanted to meet you when you were here a few weeks ago, but we didn't seem to be in clinic at the same time. As you may know, Riley was diagnosed at a late age too, 25 months. Riley gets his cord blood transplant tomorrow here at Fairview. You are in our thoughts and prayers. See you soon.
