 Update
June29, 2009
Our little Luke was a miracle baby, a cheeky monkey and a real little champ and
although his life sounded short at 5.5 months, the impact he has made in our
lives will last a lifetime.
Our beautiful boy had Trisomy 13, so we always knew that he wasn't expected to
live a long life. We prayed for a simple thing, the chance to meet him alive so
we could tell him we loved him. We got this and more! Luke surprised his health
professionals and outlived most people's expectations, he always had a surprise
up his sleeve. Luke and our God had everything under control. He was born on his
terms, lived on his terms and passed away on his terms in the loving arms of his
Mummy.
So many prayers were answered in Luke's life, and beyond. At every perceived
roadblock there was an answer provided by God and by our tough little Lukey.
Our family made the most of every second with our beautiful boy. We had many fun
times and celebrated every crazy little thing and achievement and milestone. He
was a miracle baby and, in our eyes at least, was the most beautiful boy ever
born.
Of course we miss our gorgeous Luke. It is, however, a great comfort to know he
is in heaven where he is having a ball and that we'll get to be with him again
one day.

 Brief
update
Luke is our little miracle baby!
Throughout our pregnancy we just prayed and prayed that we’d meet our little
Luke alive. These prayers, and so many more, have been answered as Luke is now
near 4 weeks old.
He is going along nicely but does breathe heavily and hard, most probably due to
a significant hole in his heart which is similar to Tetralogy of Fallot.
Despite this, he is a real little champion, a complete joy. He has already
taught us, and many others who come into contact with him, so much. We love this
little boy with all our heart.
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (2 Cor 9:15)
