Day 8 in the hospital. There aren't any topics on my mind right now except for what is going on with my son Luke.
The Saturday morning live show was going to be cancelled just like it was last week, but so many people want to know "How is Luke?". Several people encouraged me to go ahead and do the show to catch the community up with what's going on. @weetreebonsai and @katedansyng were standing by ready to help moderate the show should I go through with it.
... and I did. Here is the replay.
Thank you for being so encouraging through this challenging time on this journey.
Hey!!!! @daddykirbs! How is LUKE? How is the condition? Now I know, he is a special child... I know this feeling... Take care, expect that he will have pneumonia! My cousins are the same situation. I know how you feel... Sometimes he cannot eat Am I right?
As far as possible, prepare our hearts and slowly accept the truth about what may possibly happen to our loved ones. I will include you in my prayer buddy! God has mercy...
This is one of the reasons why I am trying to push and to build my Charity Institution here in Steemit. To help Those in need around the world. When I heard the voice of LUKE my tears fall. Tears of happiness that I hear his voice.
Be strong @daddykirbs don't be afraid... I love you, bro...

Thank you Kenny. Yes it's true that eating has become very difficult for Luke. We are praying that this feeding tube will improve his nutrition and his life. We'll take this one day at a time. This community is very encouraging.

I saw your last post about Luke's operation just few minutes ago, I'm glad to have seen the update not too long from the time I saw the last one.
I'm glad their is an improvement already, God will give you a perfect healing in Jesus name. Amen

Ack, hospitals! I've spent time there with my little brother during surgeries he's had on his intestines and it's always so good to be able to get out again. Here's hoping and praying this is going to be very worthwhile to all of you, especially Luke.

I do hope your little brother is doing better! Luke is handling the stay great, but I know he'll love being home again too.

Eh...I expect he's always going to have some issues. He has Down's Syndrome, so there are a lot of things that he needs watching and probably more help. But he is a cheerful, surprisingly tall, bright-eyed boy. And he hasn't needed surgery since he was 6 months old, so that is a huge plus for him. He's also never needed anything done for his heart and that's extremely unusual for a boy with DS.
Here's hoping Luke will be back in his proper place with you soon!

@daddykirbs
you have been very strong in being in front of the camera and letting us see luke, it is very hard for a father when his son is sick
I'm sorry I started crying because it is not in my hands to help Luke and from so far I can only ask in my prayers for him. I was so quiet and I see it so sad, I can only wish for it to improve soon. We want to see him healthy, play and tell us the things he does on the farm. You really have been very strong and brave in taking us to him and being able to tell him that we love him without knowing him and we embrace him from a distance.
I use the translator please excuse me if my English is not very good
We send you blessings
and we wish for quick recovery

There is nothing more beautiful than the love of a father towards his children and even more in difficult times of health. Luke is fortunate to have you, God accompanies you and will come out very well and strengthened from this health situation. May God continue to bless you, my best wishes from Venezuela.
