Luke's Story

On Thursday, July 31st, 2008, Luke went to the doctor's office for a follow up visit and by the end of the day found himself admitted at CHOC. Shortly thereafter, Luke was diagnosed with aplastic anemia, in need of a bone marrow transplant.
Check out what Luke's up to and how he's feeling through posts, pictures and videos, and please leave comments of encouragement to not only Luke, but to his whole family. You can do so by clicking on the link under each post or by writing your own post by emailing bfisherhb@yahoo.com. Tell him what you think. Tell him a funny story. Let him know that you care about him. Include a picture if you'd like. Thanks, and check back often for Luke updates.

Cool News

Luke had a check up last Wednesday.  He is doing really, really well. Dr. Soni reported that since things have been so good, the HemTeam (Hematology Team of doctors) is inclined to fully release Luke to play football this summer/fall.  He will be able to get his inoculations started a little early too.  All of that is really good news since last year we were told that it was possible Luke would not be cleared for contact untilthis September 2nd. Luke has been fighting a little cold, which was sort of a concern, but the good news is that unlike before, this cold is not getting worse and worse as the days go by, but instead it's actually getting better.  Physically, Luke feels great.  He competed with the football team in a linemen competition last Thursday and they did really, really well.  He also played Kajabi-Kan-Kan at our church picnic on Sunday and won the high school division. Then he won the egg toss with a Fountain Valley Baron no less! So things are going really, really well.  We are very encouraged and feel very blessed that so many people have prayed, encouraged and helped along the way. Thanks to you all!
