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.

The Latest Miracle

Luke being on the team at UCLA was a miracle in itself. I and others had limited hope that he would ever see the playing field. It's rare that an un-recruited, walk-on athlete gets playing time, but Luke with the blessings of God, some great encouragement from Tim Tebow and others, Luke has made the travel squad and is starting on kick return for in this his red-shirt freshman year.

I often reflect on where he is compared to where he could be. God has seen fit to spare Luke's life and to move him along to the place where he is playing football at a D-1 university! Moreover, Luke has been able to be a positive and uplifting influence to fellow athletes and even some coaches. God is using him as salt and light at UCLA! It's unbelievable and a great testimony to what I have repeatedly credited in these posts - The grace of our loving Lord, the prayer and support of a wide network of family and friends, and the awesome medical work from the team at CHOC! We are very grateful!
