Sam and Ben are certainly creative, aren't they?! They were clowning around and with a simple hat, paper towels for a beard, and lots of pillows...emphasize LOTS....they came up with these costumes that they wanted to share with you. I don't know, I think Ben (on the right) looks more like a very well fed Sumo wrestler!

It was fun to see them waddling around, and FORGET trying to sit down...they plopped right off the chairs. (That is, the chairs they managed to even make contact with. With so much stuffing, they couldn't see where they were aiming and usually ended up on the floor. They didn't feel a thing with so much padding, though!) They eventually gave up, so the costumes weren't on very long, needless to say. Thank goodness, I was worried about my pillows' stuffing!

Happy Halloween from us goblins and ghouls over in Houston! (Well, okay, Ben is a YuGi and Sam is a ninja!) It was a steamy 80 degrees tonight, so all the witches, frankensteins, mummies and whatnots were pretty hot trotting around the neighborhoods. We wanted you to know we are thinking about you.

This little cutie just dazzled me when I visited the bird nursery..so we've added a FIFTH bird to our flock! I couldn't believe the sizzling blue coming through..and he's only TWO MONTHS old! He's a boy (they did a DNA blood test) and he wobbled onto my finger and said, "Dah bop?" My heart went "pit pat" and the rest is history. I was lucky, because these guys aren't that common. This breeder has only had one other one...five years ago!

We are known for our unusual and original bird names. Well, this little guy is a BLUE HEADED PIONUS. So, meet DASANI. You know, like the BLUE bottled water by Pepsi? And guess what his nickname is? SONIC, (derived from the "sani") another BLUE item, ie, the Sega blue mascot? (think video games) How perfect!

Dasani will have a hot blue/purple head, it's awesome! But what you'd love the most is their smell. They have a fruity smell! Dasani smells like a cherry-orange mix! Well, we just wanted to share our baby news with you. Dasani will be in the nursery for another month or so. Bye for now, more bird pics coming soon.

Hi Luke! Instead of posting my birds' pictures, this time I thought we'd go wild. This is one of 300 pictures I took. Did you know Indochinese tigers LOVE to swim? They do. We watched these two for about an hour at the Houston Zoo. They have a huge area to lounge around in, and a wide "river" to swim in. The Houston Zoo is known for its natural habitats...some are so good, you can't see the animals. We never did spot the leopards (no pun intended.) which were hidden up in their rocky area.

Here's some fact about these tigers for you! They are found in mainly in Thailand, but also Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Myanmar, Jamaica, Virgin Islands (U.S.)
They like forest but also hills and mountainous areas. Their stripes are narrower than the Bengal tiger..but folks OFTEN get these guys mixed up! And guess how much they weigh when they are born? TWO ounces! The mom usually has 2-4 babies and by a year and a half old, they are skilled enough hunters to say, "See ya later!"

Click on the picture to go to the Houston Zoo page ..I've linked you the page where you can click on any of the mammals and see great pictures and facts. (I spent about an hour surfing the page myself! You can also go to birds, fish, reptile pages, etc.) Enjoy!

Hey cutie pie. I was so happy to see an update. I love your new pictures. Bet the fireworks were something else to watch. Wow, I am so proud of you going to preschool. Sounds like you have settled in and are having lots of fun. Luke, you have come a long way and I pray for continued healing.

I also wanted to share a special friend of mine's website. Katia, age 3, is battling AML and is in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant. Her website is http://www.caringbridge.org/fl/katia_leukemiapage/. She could use prayers and words of encouragement. We are all praying that she find her miracle donor. This special person is out there somewhere and may God lead this special person to the blood bank to become a registered donor.

Well, Luke, I am so happy that you are doing well and I will be in touch soon.

My yellow nape amazon, Tripoli, thought you'd like a picture of a bird in your guestbook. She is a show off! Did you know she she sings Yankee Doodle, Saints Come Marching In, and Old Mac Donald Had A Farm? She also says 150 different things, such as (wolf whistle) "Wow! You're a ten!" Other things are "You're my baby," and "I love you" and "Whatcha doing?" and "I want outside!" She also tells me, "I want food." She also does MY laugh then says, "You're funny!" The last time I corrected her singing, she told me, "There ya go!" like SHE was teaching ME!

We are working on "Uh oh. I taste like chicken." Aren't I mean? Hee hee hee. Total, I have four birds. Tripoli, Pompeii (a severe macaw) Callao (a Half Moon Conure) and Mirage (a Congo African grey) They keep me busy! We're all thinking about you. It's GREAT that you enjoy your school so much, and having a small class is wonderful.

(BTW, If anyone who owns birds would like to join our Feathers 'n Smiles group, just click on the picture. We sign guestbooks of these wonderful kids and tell them briefly about our birds. )(You don't have to do pictures.)

Stopping by to let you know I've been thinking about you. I hope everything continues to go well for you. Hope mommy and daddy get a chance to update soon. I know they must be very busy so we all understand. But it would be great to hear how you are doing.

Are you ready for Halloween next month. You know what this means - lots of treats. YUMMY. Wish I were kid again - well I'll have to sneak into my kids buckets (just kidding!!!). You know I wouldn't do this.

We know first hand what an incredible gift you have given to little Luke, as we were given the same gift by another earth angel, named Mark, to our Brian. You guys are incredible people, and we really can never repay what you have given to us all.

What an incredible link of coincidences with you all. Gives you chills.

I'm so glad to hear that so many more things are normalizing for Luke and your family, Lam and Sarah. I like all the new photos and I hope you all have a wonderful trip to Disney.

I wish you all the best as you continue your journey, and I will be in touch as best I can while we are away.

Hey Cutie Pie,

You and your family certainly have reason celebrate your birthday with a big party - I bet a good time was had by all. You and your family have been through so much and I am so happy that you are doing so well. Your pictures are sooooo cute and you have a beautiful family. I hope that one day you and your donor get to meet - what a feeling this would be for you, your family and the donor. I hope that more people have become registered as bone marrow donors - if they read through your journals and see how far you came. 99.5% DONOR CELLS - WAY TO GO. Thanks to God, your wonderful donor, and the many trained doctors and nurses. Great news that you are tappering off from your steroids and your cell cept(Yippee!!!!). Hope that all will go well so you can be off of the meds.

Home schooling and pre-school will be lots of fun. You are going to have a great time.

Well, cutie pie, I better hit the hay - its almost midnight and before I know that alarm clock will be a ringing away!!!!

Prayers for continued healing for you and all the children. Special prayers for Colby. I'll check back soon.

Lot of love,

Diane <thevezz@aol.com>

Gee, I thought I had signed in more recently than I have....sorry about that. I sure have thought about you a lot and am glad to hear things are going so well. I bet you will be glad to be off the steroids.....it takes so long for the effects to be out of the system even when you aren't on them any more, but as the changes take place, it's a good thing! I LOVE the family photo of the four of you! Guess I missed that before.

Just wanted to stop by and say hi and hope that all continues to progress forward.

Hey Cutie Pie,

Luke, so glad to hear you are doing great - good news that you may be off of steroids in a few weeks (WHOO HOO!!!) and no more blood pressure meds - that's great. Keep up the great work with speech therapy - all your hard work will pay off. I'm a fan of Tom and Jerry too and they make me laugh as well. Glad your monocytes scare was a false alarm. Enjoy your visit with your Grandma - I will pray for her during her surgery and of course I will pray for your continued healing. Hang in there kiddo.

What Cancer Cannot Do

Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple Love
It cannot shatler Hope
It cannot corrode Faith
It cannot destroy Peace
It cannot kill Friendship
It cannot supress Memories
It cannot silence Courage
It cannot invade the Soul
It cannot steal eternal Life
It cannot conquer the Spirit.

February 8 is Fan Fest Day at the Oakland A's game. It is National Donor Day and for $5.00 people can enjoy a game and become a registered Bone Marrow Donor. YOU CAN SAVE A LIFE BY BECOMING A DONOR. You might be that one in a million who can save a life. If you cannot make it to a game - call the blood bank and make an appointment.

Luke you are such a little cutie! 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). Most of us 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 you.

We have to hold onto the fact that not many people update when their kids are doing well and they are busy LIVING and enjoying life, we generally only see when the kids arent doing well, so it gets very depressing. It has been a rough start to the year on CaringBridge, but we can only hope and pray it ends and fewer and fewer kids get cancer. Thank you for letting us know Luke is doing so well, we NEED to see the good news and success stories. He is in all our prayers. Or should I say thanks Dana for making them update!?

May God continue to bless and comfort you and Sarah! This is from your patien. I have read many entries in your journals.I have continually asked my church, Evangel Christian Church to pray for all of you since I first found out about little Luke last year. All of you have been in my personal prayers as well. I thank God for Luke's total recovery. I am believing that by the stripes of Jesus this too will come to pass. The Lord is your shepherd; and you shall not want. The Lord makes you to lie down in green pastures; He leads you beside the still waters.The Lord will restore your soul; He leads you in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea though you have walked rough the valley of the shadows of death, you will fear no evil; for the Lord God is with you. His rod and staff will comfort you. The Lord has prepared a table before you in the presence of all enemies. He anoints your head with oil and your cups runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your lives and you will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Grace and peace and mercy be unto you.

How wonderful to hear that Luke is doing very well. You deserve to be praised for being great parents and great fighters against this disease. We also heard good news about a friend who was battling brain cancer last year and now without any signs of cancer. A testimony to the power of prayer.

glad to read that luke is doing well. also excited to read about your non-profit. I actually just started a non-profit as well that will be doing some bone marrow drives for minorities. If you'd like to work together on anything please let me know. My doctor actually pioneered cord blood transplantation so a lot of our money for research will go to that. Maybe there are some ways we can help each other. I'll keep checking back and you'll definitely be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless!

I am really glad to hear you guys are doing well. It must be so hard to not be around Christina on her birthday. You are right though, you guys will come through this fine, and the lack of insurance is just a stepping stone compared to what little Luke has come through. {I know its a major stepping stone, but you know what I mean....}

Sarah, Lam,
I'm really proud of you guys for making it through the past year. I don't know if I could have done it. It's quite a triumph. I remember visiting you a year ago, right after Luke's diagnosis. I sat with Sarah as she read a book about childhood leukemia. The chapter on rare forms of leukemia and the short description of JCML/JMML was so devastating that Sarah burst into tears. Many victims didn't survive a year beyond diagnosis, the book said. Luke had quite a few close calls--he almost didn't make it a few times. But he hung on and so did you. Miraculously, Luke is still with us and he's finally able to enjoy life again. I'm so happy that you have this precious time together and I hope it lasts and lasts.

Sorry to hear all the troubles you two have to deal with insurance stuffs. Hope things will work out at the end. Lam, you must have not shaved since Luke’s BMT. BTW, it looks COOL.

Hi everyone,
I am so glad to see the message so short that means that you are playing with Luke. I hope he is eating more things these days. Sarah I haven't talked to you in little over a week but it seems like months. Both of the kids have been sick I hope they feel better soon so we can come and see Luke. I hope all is well and the rash is going away so he can indulge in his food that he loves so much. I pray that he can eat more regular food so that the expense of the prescribed food doesn't put more stress on the situation. It is time to rejoice and thank God for the struggle that is almost over for him. He can now play and walk, I know that is all you want to see and think about. Don't worry the progress is tremendous that wass the faith that you had. You are an example of faith that others can learn from. Even during frustrating times the faith just grew stronger and stronger. Well our love goes out to you and hope to see you soon. Lots of hugs and kisses Andy Sue Nicholas and Matty

God is working overtime with our children. I was jumping up an down when I read that Luke's VNTR was 99%. My heart is still racing. Prayers are being answered and we must continue to stay strong give thanks to God for such fine work. HE carried us when we couldn't walk, HE gave us strength when we were so weak, HE gave us nourishment when we couldn't eat, HE gave us hope when the odds were against us, HE eased our pain when our hearts were aching and all because YOU believed in his power.
Luke you are the toughest little boy I know and I am so happy that your days are being filled with fun and kid stuff. Good luck Lam and Sarah, the days of battling with medicine are reminding you of just how strong little Luke can be. Luke's determination has pulled him through some really scary times and you must be so very proud of him.
I am so PROUD of you guys for holding on tight and never letting go. We continue to pray for Luke's healing and with each passing day that he will grow and continue to amaze the medical world. It warms my heart to hear a sigh of relief in your entry.
We love you all and are right beside you holding your hand now and forever.

Love & Prayer Always

Sarah and Lam,
I enjoyed talking to Luke on the phone the other day. Between crying jags, he managed to say "Oye" into the phone receiver. That must be Luke-talk for "hello" although it sounds like he's spent time on Manhattan's lower east side. Randy and I are so happy that he's feeling better and that his gut can tolerate full-strength formula. Luke is such a tough loveable little guy. I can't wait to have more conversations with him in the future.

this am i was reading your past journal. on one journal entry dated 6/8, you were commenting on the prognosis of luke. you mentioned about the statistical number of luke's chance of surviving when he was first diagnosed, of finding bone marrow donor, of fighting gut gvhd. and yes those numbers were grim and slim. and yet luke, with god's grace and protection, has been fighting through it all. you know, about our soon to be born baby, six weeks ago, based on four different ultrasound on four different times, by three different doctors, he was given a number of 100% lethal. not even a slim, minute chance of surviving. and yet just a few days ago, all has changed. now, on three different different ultrasound on three different times, by two different doctors, he is normal like every other baby in utero. he is going to be ok. and there's absolute no explanation for this. to me, the only explanation is it is indeed god's miracle. thanks to all the prayers of family members and friends, god has given us a miracle. and i strongly believe that luke will be ok. like you have mentioned at different times in the past, luke could have gone straight to heaven, but he didn't. because god was there. and all these numbers that you mentioned, luke has beaten them all. because god is with luke and your family, always. so, keep praying and hoping and placing all your sorrows, fears, frustration, and most important your trust in god. he will take care of all of you. like he is doing with my family. i told my friends, many of whom are doctors, about our situation. they all can't believe it. like you said, many families that you know who have children with jmll, are still doing ok many years out. so, luke will be the same. in our case, there was nothing, no medication, no procedure, no advanced technology to save our baby, and yet god has performed the impossible thing. so in luke's case, where there are still many different medications, and procedures to help luke. i am sorry to write such an unorganized, incohesive blah. but that is what crystal and i are feeling at the moment. we both know what you are going through. we pray for you both and luke and christina every day. and we both believe that god is and will take care of all of you in ways that you can't even imagine. like what he did for us.

love always

Luke,
Just thinking about you every day and wanted you to know how special you are!! Your mommy and daddy must be very, very strong people to have instilled the armor that you wear. Always thinking of you and praying for healing.

Lam & Sarah: Thanks for all your support and I didn't want to call you so soon after discharge from the hospital. Just wanted you both to know I am grateful to have found you all. Our JMML family is not very large and it is reassuring to know we have strong roots and that we stick together.

Love

Hi All,

I am the parent of a JMML kid (BMT 4/2/99) who is currently doing great. Hannah had/has an occlusion of the left SV - she was on lovenox for about 6 months (which she tolerated well - much better than heparin which she was on for a short while). She has visible collaterals, mainly on her chest and upper left arm and they seem to doing their job. We had a dye study done about a year ago to better see what was going on - the clot is well formed and in our case probably permanent. But, her little body has compensated for the loss of that vessel remarkedly well. I know it is all pretty frightening - but hang in there. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way!!

Dearest Luke(JMML brother),Lam and Sarah,
I find myself stopping in mid sentence to pray to God O'Mighty. Everyone around me must think I am getting senile. You and your family are always on my mind and in my heart. The life threatening situations you have encountered almost daily, are heartbreaking. How much can one family endure? Thank God you both are medical professional and have an abundance of knowledge. You have saved Luke from death sooooo many times. I am so proud of you all. Luke is one tough cookie. Most people can't even imagine. I, myself don't know how you do it. The power of prayer and faith is the only rational conclusion. Even in your constant worry, you continue to feel for others and show your support. I thank you for keeping Colby in prayer. God has created some wonderful people and we are beside you ever step of the way. As Dana holds my hand from afar----I extend my other hand to you and continue to pray for Luke's recovery and that you both stay strong to weather this hurricaine.
much love coming your way-----The Cole's <colcam@charter.net>

Dear Luke and Family,

As always, continuous prayers on my side. I will be adding Luke's name for prayer request at my Christian Church tomorrow morning. This is such a tough time for all of you. I can't help but feel so bad for Luke how much more does this cute little boy need to take? I pray to God for much strength for your whole family.

Hang in there. God does have a plan for all of us. It's hard to understand why Luke needs to suffer this way. Only God knows that answer. Have faith and let God's grace take care of the rest.

I am so excited to hear Luke is at home now. That is such an accomplishment & miracle! I pray for his health everyday. I wish the Team In Training South Bay Triathlon Team could have been more involved during his BMT. The team successfully finished their events & we had a moment to reflect on all of our honorees including Luke. Many told me that they pulled from the honorees strength to finish their event. Thank you for sharing your story & inspiring a group of athletes trying to make a differnece in this world.

P.S. I have been collecting magazines for the past month or so. I don't think you guys will need them anymore, but I will be sure to send them to the hospital.

Take care,

HOME....WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WORD. It does take on new meaning now. We were in the hospital 1 month with Colby and can't even imagine how you did it for three. I check on you regularly from work and want you to know that I am praying and pulling for all of you. Even though the sun can be dangerous to Luke, I relish the fact that he can once again feel the warmth of the outside. Enjoy your wagon rides, Luke, and know that you are in God's care.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for checking Luke's web page and thanks for your wonderful support and encouragement. Lam and Sarah haven't had an opportunity to update this site. I just spoke with Lam. He was giving Luke a wagon ride in their backyard in San Jose. After Luke's discharge from the hospital, Sarah and Lam decided to take their son home and care for him there rather than at the hotel. Of course, they are all more comfortable in their own home. But they've been busy coping with new challenges, such as how to shield Luke from the bright and potentially deadly sun during his wagon rides. The wagon rides are comforting to Luke. But a sunburn can trigger a deadly episode of GVHD. Luke's infant sister Christina had to leave home and stay with other relatives because she showed symptoms of an illness--Luke can't be around sick people. Again, Lam and Sarah are battling their health insurance company--Lifeguard (www.lifeguard.com)--which is now refusing to authorize Luke's physical therapy. (This insurance company sucks!) Lam, Sarah, and Luke are hanging in there. Luke is still not able to take in much by mouth. But his blood test results are good. Lam says that Luke stood for 25 minutes while playing with his trains today--Yeah! It's encouraging but Luke's condition is very precarious. I'm sure Lam and Sarah will find the time and energy to update this site soon. Thanks again for your support.

Luke...you are one strong kid, you have made it this far, nothing can bring you down. Lam and Sarah...I know you are tired. Life will get back to normal, or a NEW normal soon. You will look back and wonder how you did it...just look into Luke's eyes and you will know how. I pray for continued healing...physically and emotionally.
Love and courage,

Dear LAm & Sarah,

I am very happy to hear that Luke finnaly will be discharged. I wanted to write something before but many times I just did not know what to say after hearing the suffering and emotionally distress all of you went to.

I talked to a very respected and knowledgeable Nurse Pam here at TCH about gut GVH. She seen it many times. Here is what se said. It will take a long time (up to 6 months) to resolve gut GVH. Nothing By Mouth can last up to 3 moths. It heals very slowly BUT is treatable. She believed it is easier to treat (life threatening) than GVH that attachs human organs...i.e. Liver. One good thing comes out of this gut GVH is it will kill all remaining leukemia cells (if any). So when Luke recovers from this gut GVH, he will have a VERY LOW RISK of relapse. Hope this will bring some peace of mind to both of you.

Happy Father Day Lam !

Happy Father's Day! We're sorry to hear that Luke is having so much trouble with GVHD. We are friends with Cindy Nguyen and her parents. We are in the BMT unit with them (our daughter Isabella just had a cord blood transplant for recurrent AML; www.caringbridge.com/page/isabellaledesma). We heard of another child (Kyle Goodwin) that was here for 176 days post BMT for gut GVHD. He finally went home and is reportedly doing well. If you haven't tried contacting the oncologists here, it's worth a shot. They are very responsive to questions, and I have been very satisified essentially all the time (I am an adult nephrologist). The two main BMT docs here are Drs. Roger Giller and Ralph Quinones. We are at the Children's Hospital, Denver. Phone (303) 861-8888, and ask for the BMT clinic. Sorry I don't know their e-mail addresses. We hope you and your son can go home soon and enjoy life outside of the hospital.

DEAR LAM,
WISHING YOU A HAPPY FATHER'S DAY AND SOME RELIEF FROM YOUR FRUSTRATION--I AGREE!!! WITH IF THE FAMILY WANTS IT SO MUCH,ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE,IT SHOULD BE DONE.DID YOU RECEIVE THE DIFFERIAL COUNTS AS WELL? SOUNDS A BIT LIKE A VIRUS MAYBE NOT AN INFECTION.POSSIBLY FROM THE CHANGE TO CELL-CEPT? FROM ACYCLOVIR.
I AM THANKFUL THAT OUR TEAM HAS GROWN TO LOVE AND CARE ABOUT JAKE AND THEY AT LEAST HUMOR ME IN MY FEARS ---FOR EXAMPLE: END OF MAY (REMINDING YOU JAKE IS MORE THAN 1 1/2 YRS OUT FROM TRANSPLANT) I ASKED THAT THEY DO A BONE MARROW ASPIRATION TO CHECK HIS DONOR STATUS AND THEY THOUGHT THERE WAS NO NEED BUT DID A PERPHIPHAL DRAW ,JUST THE SAME TO"HELP ME FEEL BETTER" TURNS OUT THAT HE WAS O.K.(100%) BUT HELPED REASSURE ME THAT ALL THESE INFECTIONS,VIRUS,ETC. WAS NOT HIS BODY'S WAY OF "TELLING US SOMETHING".IT WAS RELATED TO GVH (ALTERATION OF THE DIFFERIAL ) BUT THEY UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO HAVE SOME SAY AND CONTROL IN THIS SEEMINGLY HELPLESS SITUATION.I PRAY THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE STRONG AND THAT GOD WILL TOUCH THE DOCTOR'S HEART AND ALLOW WISDOM IN LUKE'S CARE.
LOVE AND BLESSINGS,

Happy Birthday and Happy Father's day Lam. You are admired by many. If we all only had an ounce of your super inner strength. I want to thank you all for giving us so much inspiration and a will to strive for. You are truly an image of what a perfect father is. Keeping it all together while struggling each minute of the day. That is why I don't understand all of those these days on Prozac for depression. I think depression is what you make of it. Maybe chemicals are not balanced but having faith looking at the bright side always seems to help. When any of my family or friends try to complain about their microscopic problems I always bring up how strong you all are and that they should be thankful for what they have. I just want to thank you for being the inspiration for many of us out here. I tell my kids almost everyday to just be thankful and pray for Luke when they feel mad about something or are being spoiled. I can't wait until Luke can tell everyone himself. My kids are looking forward to spending time with him as soon as permited. Today in class my son stood up and said to his teacher I have an announcement to make. I had no clue what he was going to say. He continued to tell his class thanks for the cards for Luke and that he is going to get out of the hospital. Nicholas thinks of Luke always. You are all in our prayers and keep up the good work. You are truly blessed. Love Sue Andy Nicholas and Matthew

Happy belated birthday to you, Lam. Tried to call, but I guess you guys were giving Luke a wagon ride. Luke is truly lucky to have such devoted, informed, and heroic parents. Someone suggested you ask the hospital for a play therapist for Luke. This would be through the psyche dept. Hopefully, the therapist can help Luke express some of his feelings through play. He must be so frustrated and depressed and he can't articulate his feelings verbally. Getting out of the hospital will help a lot also.

Dear JMML friends,
HOW WONDERFUL!!! (I know it could be much better --but then it could be worse, too) I wanted to let you all know ,I teach Wednesday night bible study for children at church and I told both groups(adults and children) about Luke and asked that they remember to pray for Luke's health and also for your strength in this situation. I also awake sometimes at night and pray that God would heal Luke's body from this terrible illness--I believe He will!!
Love and prayers abound,

Luke has been in my thoughts and prayers from that day in January when Pearl and Randy wrote to us about his condition. I had just had a disappointment in my life, but reading about your beautiful child's illness made me very sad for you but helped me to heal and see my problem as very miniscule.
I have actually been afraid to sign on in the past. I am now relieved to find that the site is still up and to see a current note with his progress.
I will continue to keep Luke and family in my prayers. Keep Faith, Love and Hope in your hearts.
Sincerely,

yes Luke's prognosis in the doctors' eyes may not be good
but they are human
they dont MAKE the rules, they just play along
do not under any circumstances start to give in and give up
I know it must be so frustrating and hard
but as you said "keep the prize in site"

Hi guys just wanted you to know that we are still praying that Luke has a full recovery and things start to finally go right. I know that it seems that this disease just continues to throw it's ugly curves at you whenever you least expect it. We will pray that you keep up your strength because I know that helps Luke out alot. Even if the doctors say it doesn't look good for Luke you know they can be wrong so don't let that bring you down. God Bless and we will pray for you!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I was very happy to see you Sarah today at church. In spite of it all you continue to keep your joy as the sermon was on today. I totally admire you. I know at some points it is hard to see the bright side of it all but as you said he is still here (screaming). That is living proof that their " terms of the condition" are so statistical and he is not of those same statistics. God will continue to bless you because you are everything he would want and expect of a person.
You always seem to see the good in everything. You made me laugh with the wagon rides and Lam. See you can still make jokes. That is what keeps Luke going even if you cry in front of him once in a while he knows to smile to make you happy. That is the quality from Mom and Dad. I hope I can come soon to at least keep you company on those long walks. I have to get better just for that.
Just continue the way you are. Maybe don't ask the overall questions of the doctor's like how is he? Just keep it simple What else can we do for the GVHD or something else. That way you will not get discouraged from their vague "Diagnosis". Which we already know and don't need to hear anymore. We know but... we will fight to make him better. He has fought so much and will continue to fight for you. I love his strength and we all can learn from his wit and will to "LIVE" He is a true trooper. Hang in there Sarah and Lam your doing great you have come so far what is another few months. Nip it in the bud. Love you all you are in my every prayers. Love Andy Sue Nicholas and Matthew

Dear Lam and Luke,
I pray everything is well with you all and that there are no more problems(with labs and such) I check the site sometimes several times a day to see how you all are--I pray that no news is good news..I know that you two must be growing weary of the battle but try to hang in there a while longer -- sometimes seems as if the trouble never ends but it could be a test of your faith to hope for what seems hopeless,to believe for what seems unbelieveable ,to trust in God's ability to sustain us and strengthen us in such trying times..

Hi, my name is Becky Nichols and my daughter Libbie was diagnosed with JMML in Feb, 1999 and has remained in a chronic phase. She is 3 1/2 years old and is about to have a 5/6 cord blood transplant at MD Anderson in Houston Tx.(We leave this Sunday June 9 to start) Dana Doctor told me about Luke some time ago and I have been following his progress. I put him on our prayer list at our church and a prayer request is sent out via email every week about him! (among other JMML kids) I was very scared to see there were no journal entries this weekend and said a prayer. Thank you God for it being good news! I also wanted to tell you that Libbie had her spleen removed in Nov. 2001 and her platelets went to 3.5 million. She was put on Agrylin to help control her proliferation of platelets but she has, about three times including Fridays labs, had a platelet count that "clotted" and came back incorrect. She has been at about 1 million and her labs said 200K. Once she was at about a million and a half and went to 20K. I guess it happens but I don't know why. I am very glad that it is such good news in Lukes case!!!!!! Luke and your family will continue to be in our daily prayers!

My prayers are being sent. Luke is a fighter as are both of you. I know you will all pull through this hurdle as well. Just keep your faith. I will say extra prayers for all of the medical teams that come aboard each week. I will pray for them to use you both for the benefit of Luke. i pray they will be cooperative with you both as your patience grow thinner each day that goes by. Just stand strong with your inner feelings because you do know what he is feeling exactly. Relay messages give them articles do what ever it takes to fill them with the knowledge that you already have. Maybe it will stimulate their mind to do some research on their own as they are caring for your precious Luke. I love you all and you are in my every moment of thoughts.

Dearest Lam, Sarah and Luke,
My heart aches to see you all going through this complication with Luke's BMT. As if he hasn't been through enough. We are sending lots of love and prayers your way. I also added Colby's healing prayer below--It really strengthened Jack and I during our toughest days in the hospital. Luke is very tough and God is mighty. Keep the faith.

O Lord Jesus, I do believe,
but strengthen my belief.
Come into my life; the door
of my heart is open. Calm
the storm within me, and
give me the peace that brings
healing. Give me that trust
in YOU that brings real courage
to overcome fear. I reach
out to YOU in faith to feel
the strength of Your healing
power. Amen.

Love and prayers

Hi Sarah Lam and Luke,
I just want you to know I am here praying for you. I missed you this week Sarah. I love our weekly lunches. I hope Luke is feeling better. I would like to come to the hospital this week and see him. I miss seeing his little eyes as they are staring so deeply into the movies. I have to see him through the window and he looks so sweet. I am hoping to be able to give him a hug that has been long over due. Sarah that is why I hug you so tightly when I see you because I feel his love through you. Your hearts are as one. Please be strong we are praying for a full recovery without any more complications. God bless everyone!!! Love Andy Sue nicholas and Matty

Dear Do family,
I was a little concerned about the update (the lack of).But,I know Luke is in good hands and that your time is better spent caring for him. Sorry to hear about the GVH concern ,GVH can be relentless. We still are dealing with it's effects almost 2 yrs.out now!
Trust YOUR instincts about Luke .Doctors are great, but they do see SO many kids and your attention is on every detail of Luke's care.I'm not a physician but many times I knew that Jake was in trouble just by his behavior .Once it even saved his life (septis sp?--no temperature or other physical sign)!!I will pray that this too shall pass and that Luke can get back to himself again soon.
Love and blessings,
Danette (a.k.a. Jake's mom)

Lam...Thank you for taking the time to update us...Luke is loved across the country. I really wish I could absorb some of this torture for him...this really breaks my heart. Is the trial drug for GVHD still an option? I think you should have an off date B- ball game...you need an escape.
Prayers and courage,

Hi Lam Luke and Sarah,
I am so happy to hear he had 5 whole crackers. I bet that is so fulfulling to Luke. He has not had solids for so long I couldn't even imagine. I can't even go on a diet for a day. Soon he will be munching on everything in sight as his body gets back to normal. Don't worry Dad and Mom you are very wonderful people and together you are conquering the world. Remember the kisses between the both of you for that comfort to each other. I know you have 0 minutes in the day for each other. But, remember those little things can get you both through the day. You both will only have just your little family and that is the most important thing of all. Please be strong life will be back in order soon. The progress is great look Lam you got to go to the movies today. Wasn't spiderman great I loved it. Can't wait until Luke can see it. Love you guys Sarah I will call you soon. God bless you all.

I bet everyone at the hospital is saying, "Who's that cute little boy? What a sweetie!" Hope he can have solids again soon. Can't wait to see you all, especially Luke.

Sarah & Lam, tears swell in my eyes everytime I read your journal entries & see Luke's picture. It's so tough to see a child suffers. I'm always very nervous when opening the web-site, afraid that I might see terrible news, but hopeful for happy results at the same time. I'm so happy to hear that Luke is progressing in the right direction. Knowing how busy and overwhelming you must be, I have not called but my thoughts are often with you, Luke and Christina. I know it must be tough for all of you. We all have our busy lives, but don't hesitate to reach out should you need anything. Best wishes to you all. Sincerely, Lan.

Hi Everyone,
I'm glad Luke can see outside in his wagon. Although it has to be under certain circumstances at least he can substitute the anxiety of not being able to eat with something wonderful like taking a wagon ride. I'm sorry to hear Sarah is feeling under the weather. I hope she feels better as I know how much it hurts her not to be able to see Luke. I am praying and telling people of the need for help although I can't myself because of my cold I hope others will help out. See you as soon as my germs pass. Please give Luke a big kiss for me and my family. Love always Sue Andy Nicholas and Matthew

Hello, Sami was the same way. She loved to go "outside" as she called it. When ever she felt nausea you would know it. Her way to deal with it was to leave the room. We didn't have a wagon. We would just hold her and push the pole. Quite a feet to those that have never had the need. We got pretty good at it. Even when she would walk and push her baby in the stroller we would be following behind with the IV pole. Not easy at all.
The only time we had to restrict food and drink was for scans and tests and things that she had to be put to sleep for. She also was not allowed out of the room during transplant, though it sounds like your counts aren't an issue any longer that if the eating, stooling problem wasn't there you would probably be home. I wish you the best. I check the site every day.

Hey Neighbors,

Boy there should be some type of training offered to those of us parents forced into treking through a different type of marathon. The marathon of extended hospital stays, putting our children through heartbreaking treatments and the small task of maintaining marraiges through all of it. We wish we could be there for you more but you can understand better than anyone how tapped you are while dealing with life in here. Just trying to stay sane is almost all the energy we have at times. We feel this way but have been here nearly a month less than you. Our heart goes our to you and we would like to join you in your plea for people that would be able to help, to make themselves available. It was nice to see Luke out in the wagon this morning. He is such a strong little boy. We revel in all of your family's tremendous courage and strength.

How is everyone? I hope today was a good day. Sorry I haven't been signing on the journal I have had a really bad cold. I didn't go to church today and my mom said Sarah wasn't there. Are you okay? My mom wants to help you and I will as soon as I get better. Please call us. I know the days and nights are long and takes a lot out of you both. Now that Luke is getting a little better I hope the stress level is a little lower. You haven't written I hope Luke is still going down the road to recovery. You are in my prayers always. Hope to see everyone soon. I will let you know when my germs are gone. Love you guys always Sue Andy Nicholas and Matthew

dear lam and sarah

we would like to help you but since we are probably carrying germs within us perpetually with our line of work, so we can't. however, if there are things in the office that you would like me to do, just let me know. i am glad to see that luke is making small progress, albeit small, but still it's a progress, rather than a setback. in your past journal entries, you had asked us to pray for strength, courage. i think you both are very strong. most people would not be able to go through what you are going through and still keep smiles on your face. most people would not be able to bear their souls and feelings through the internet. some of us, like me, would probably keep all these feelings inside. i also admire your deep faith in god during these trials. i know people who abandon god when tough things run into them. you both, however, have instead turn to god during these times, and i think it is wonderful. and i strongly believe he is with you at all times. i believe that he has been answering your and all of our prayers through the strong support network of your family members and friends, and strangers through the internet. god doesn't speak to us directly, but he uses those around us to bring his love to us. and so we will continue to pray for you and luke and christina and all your friends and family members, who have helped you so much. god is always there, event though at times, we may not see or feel him. remember that popular poem about seeing two sets of footsteps, one of him or her, and the other is of god. then during one stretch of rough times, she only sees one set of footsteps, she is very upset because she thought god has left her. then at some time later, god reappears, she then complains how come god had left her. and god's response, the one set of footstep was actually that of god, who carried her during the tough times. i believe that god is now with all of you, as he always is. i hope that luke will continue to make small progress daily and that one day soon, i will be able to see his smile in person, rather than through the web page.

I know how tough it is on the parents, but hang in there, hopefully you will get some much needed help from those who read your journal and CAN help. Those long hospital stays can really work on you. Just know that there are those of us out here who don't even know you, but are thinking about and praying for you!

Dear Sarah, Lam and Luke,
I have been following your entries daily and thank you for your updates. It has been an incredible rollercoaster ride and you have been in my thoughts and prayers through it all. I'm so happy to hear that things are looking up and I pray that it's all good from here forward. I've learned many things from you all about strength and courage. I will be thinking about you and your fight as I fight my way to the finish line at Wildflower on Sunday. Best wishes for continued improvement and MUCH more news of successes in the battle coming from your site!

Hi,
We've learned of your family and Luke through Lisa, Mandy, Greg and Meghan's site. Kelly was Meghan's "roomate" during transplant in Boston last autumn. We've been checking Luke's progress for quite a while now and praying very hard for his recovery. It seems you're finding a ray of light at the end of many weeks of struggle. You do a wonderful job in updating the site (despite many long hours and days at the hospital!) Believe that there are many people praying for Luke's recovery. He has a beautiful smile and parents that are very strong! Have faith and keep fighting!

So glad, that Luke is better now. Was really worried, as I looked at your sites for some days now. I got help from Dana, Zachs mom, and Lisa, Meghans Nana, as Florian was diagnosed with ITP, but some alarming BMA results. Therefore I found your address eventually. Wish you strenght, luck and that it keeps improving.

Guess what I have changed a lot of my thinking and caring since I met you all. I thank Luke for giving me more compassion towards others. I thank all of you for showing me another way of life. I try to enlighten others about life and what it is all about with examples. They stop in their tracks and reconsider the comment or feeling they are having. Thanks again,

I pray he will recover from the GVHD that is the only thing holding him from coming home. It sounds bright with everything being reduced. Sarah I was very happy to see you yesterday. I will check my calander today and maybe if I can call you I can tell you when I can come. There are many people who care about you all especially Luke. We are all with you in our heart and soul.

Dearest Luke and family,
I am Laura Cole, Colby's mom. He also was diagnosed with JMML January 4, 2002. The treatment plan was the same as far as I can see. The major difference is that Colby did not require a spleenectomy. His transplant date was March 15, 2002, a few days before Luke. I am terribly sickened by the effects of GVHD. What a toll it takes on those little bodies. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Colby seems to be an exception to the norm. He had minimal side effects from the condition process. We were blessed. I often wonder if age of the child plays a part. Colby is four years old. I know you have your hands full with caring for Luke at this time. I finally have some time to follow up on our JMML families. Our love to all and may the power of God keep you strong. I am starting to read your journal to understand just what you all have been through so far. I added Lukes website to my favorites so I can veiw it frequently. If you need someone to vent to, I am here to listen. I know this can be very frustrating.
Love and prayer

you must be a dr. with a great "bedside manner"
You know we are all praying for Luke {and Kayli and Cindy as well!}

Hi Sarah Lam and Precious Luke,
It was great to see Luke the other day. He was sleeping so peacefully. Thank you for letting me see him. Sarah sorry I missed you. Please call me when you have a chance. What does the black stool mean?? Is it good or bad?? I hope to see Luke again next week sometime. Hopefully I can prearrange the time to take Sarah to lunch.
I visited kayli's site and she is beautiful. I will include her in my prayers. Please continue to be strong as you are. You are amazing I admire your strength and courage. If there is anything that I can do please do not hesitate to ask. Your friends forever Sue Andy Nicholas and Matthew

Dear Lam & Sarah...I have been a reader of your journal since day one. Though I do not know your family, I continue to pray for your son to recover from this disease. I am so sorry that you are enduring this pain but am glad to see that by reading your journal you have a lot of family and friends who care deeply. There are times when I read your journal that I am brought to tears because as a mother, I can almost imagine and sympathize with what you must be feeling. I continue to pray for Luke daily. Not one day passes that Luke is not in my thoughts. I pray to God that Luke gradually overcomes the obstacle that he is facing. And I also believe that GOD at this moment is holding Lukes hand and helping him strive to fight and live. Even when my child is sick, I always say to her, "baby, mommy loves you...so get better". And there has been times when I read your journal that I am also saying...Luke...get better baby. And come home with your family..

I am following Luke's progress every day even while traveling on business. Your family are in my prayers. I know things will get better and there has been more good news than bad. You must have superhuman strength to carry through and I know you love your son very much, as do we. I hope to come and visit though I know room isolation is critical.

Hello,
I'm sorry I have not checked in much recently.....so much going on in my own world. I am sorry to find your updates not so good. I am not sure what I can say to help, but I will try. First, don't give up hope! If it helps, I will tell you that Brian was as bad as you describe Luke. The diarrhea, the worst! Burning his bottom so bad it tore my heart out! The steroids were the answer for him too, and yes...they did lots of damage that we are still today recovering from, BUT, he is still here recovering, so that is good, right? I hope, hope hope, that he has not relapsed like Brian did too, BUT, if there was ANY good that came from Brian relapsing, was that the new leukemia cells, beat out the GVHd......so good news was, the GVHd went away and didn't kill him, but the leukemia was back threatening to do so.......I don't know how to say this, but, it was not easy for us going through every day of this, but, one day at a time, Brian got through each and every complication (and sometimes with many and serious setbacks) and HE MADE IT!! I know how down you must feel, and how very hopeless sometimes.....we felt that too. We were at the point of preparing for our loss too.....it was the natural thing to do in light of the seriousness of the complications, but he got through it. So, I will pray, that Luke will too. I wish it could come without all the setbacks, and complications that it does, but if it does, it will all be worth it.

My deepest, heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you all. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.
Warmest hugs,

I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you or Luke yet, but I've been following up on Luke's updates. I heard of Luke from Kali's mom, Jenny. My daughter Karah will be admitted shortly at Stanford for a bone marrow transplant.
It breaks my heart to hear of Luke's current condition. You are experiencing the nightmare that we're all afraid of. Please don't give up hope. God is the God of miracles and He loves little Luke more than anybody could. I've been praying for Luke every day as well as the two of you. I will continue to pray for Luke's healing and for a renewed strength for you.
God Bless.

I pray for God's will to be done in all our lives, so we may manifest love in it's purest form, just as Luke is doing now. God's will for Luke is being done, regardless of earthly circumstance. This is evident from the tremendous amount of love Luke has miraculously brought forth in all of us. There is NO higher accomplishment attaniable, in life or in death. Regardless of his length of stay here on earth, he is Gods conduit for all the love that everyone here is sharing with your family, with one another, and with others around the world. May he live a long healthy life and continue to do Gods work in his own special way. In all our years combined, I doubt we could bring forth so much hope and love as Luke has done in less than 2 years! Godspeed Luke, Godspeed! My daily prayers are with you all.

My words to you are "Just Believe that God will take care of your precious child" My prayers are always with you and your family especially for Luke. The doctors are God's helpers so just know that they are doing there very best and only God knows what Lukes destiny is. I love you all very much and Just Believe that God will take care of Luke no matter what.

I am so sorry to hear of the severity of Luke's condition right now. If it is God's will to be with Luke I know the reason is tremendous and you may never fully understand because death is something people always struggle with. But remember time heals all wounds. With prayer and time you will be able to be at peace with what ever situation. You may wonder but please struggle for peace. Give all of the hurt to God. I hope and pray every moment of the day for Luke. God has his plans. Luke will be OKAY either way. He will always be with Love. Remember if God does need him he will suffer no more. He will always be with you in your heart. Don't worry be strong be at peace he will be okay. Love you Sarah I hope to see you this week. We miss you. Love Sue Andy Nicholas and Matthew

Sarah and Lam,

Oh! My goodness? How I am so sorry to hear the current situation that Luke is in. I was never really involved in Christianty until Lexi became deathly ill last year. I think God gives us all a wake-up call or a trial for us to follow him. I completely trust in God! God and only God has a beautiful plan for Luke. Give all concerns to God!! He is The Master. Only God knows the reasons why your family has to endure this amount of pain. I pray for you and your husband to have peace, understanding and happiness in what-ever is the outcome. You may think it's easy for me to say what I am saying because I don't have a child going through what Luke is going through. But Lexi almost died last year with having Meningitis first and a very close second with complications of the Meningitis giving Lexi a rare form of Vasculitis causing her to have a Stroke. So I do know what it's like to face death in my child. There is a reason for everything that happens in our lifes. We are in an unperfect world! Let God's will be done!!! I have my Bible Study woman friends and my weekly prayer group all praying for Luke.

Dear Lam & Sarah,

This news really broke our heart. Even those we never met your family, especially Luke, but all of you are our family. We found each other through tough times. We supported and prayed for each other and went through this journey together. Luke is in God’s hands now but miracles do happen. Keep your faith. Kids are resiliently strong. We are praying for a miracle that Luke will beat the disease. If anything we can do please let us know. Can we call and talk to you at the hospital?

Loves from your JMML family,

For all who are trying to read the journal, the background was changed but the font was not changed from white so you can't see the words. If you select the area where the journal is with your mouse and highlight it the words will appear. I'm sure that Sarah and Lam will see this and fix it.

I am praying very hard for you now Lam and Sarah. My thoughts are there.

Hello Luke and parents,

This is Sani Hardy (Kayli's Aunt) I continue to keep an update on little Luke. I pray for him daily to overcome this disease. To Luke's parents, I couldn't help but relate to every word you said in your update of Luke. Regarding the terrible hunger pains Luke is going through with being on Steriods. For my daughter (Lexi) was on Predisone Steriods for 6 months. It was truely unbelievable how much they crave uncontrollably with hunger. I can't help but feel for Luke. But in your situation its far worse then what I experienced with my daughter. With Luke he is limited to eating and drinking whereas for Lexi did not have eating limits. I know that we do not know one another but in reading Luke's update today I just felt compelled to email you from parent to parent. My heart goes out to your entire family. Please know that your family is in our family's daily prayers.

God Bless.

Hi Sarah and Lam,
My computer monitor blew out yesterday. What bad timing. I wanted to log on to see Luke via Web cam. I'm at school now typing out this message. Randy and I are heart broken about Luke's worsening condition. We are hoping that the bleeding, pain, and the GVHD will stop. We wish there was more we could do for you and Luke. Like everyone else who reads your journal, we can't imagine going through such a horrible ordeal. But we are still hopeful that Luke will pull out of this crisis. He's a tough little guy. He's lucky he has you guys for parents.

Hi Lam and Sarah,
Please keep the faith. I know these feelings are always in the back of your mind. Please don't let them overpower you and the great faith and the uplifting spirits you give to Luke. He can feel all of the positive feelings you are radiating to him. This is why his strength is enormous. What ever God has planned for your family please don't be discouraged. These feelings are normal and you will have them now and then. But, please don't let them interfere with your main focus. I know your tired but please again keep the faith. You will all come home soon. Just conquer each episode and come up fighting again as Luke has. God Bless you all. My prayers are with you. Love Sue Andy Nicholas and Matthew

I have read your journal entry this morning as I always do and my heart is there with you. You brought me to tears with this entry as I'm sure that you all have been reduced to many times. Do not lose faith. On Monday morning when I return to work I am going to enter Luke into a worldwide prayer chain. This means that 24 hours a day there will be someone on this earth who is thinking of and praying for Luke. You are in my prayers as well.

It was uplifting to hear that Luke needed to drink. You acting as a father as opposed to a physician was the best thing that you could do. Sometimes parental instincts are much stronger than the ever present "scientific medical" approach. We know what our children need. I am praying very hard for all of you and that Luke is on the mend. He is a very strong little boy and I know that you are all very proud of him. With God's hand you will make it through all of this and there is a rainbow and sunshine at the the end of the road.

Love and Hugs,

dear lam and sarah

tonight is my first time reading this journal. excuse me for not doing this sooner. i am not much of a computer person, and therefore not much of reading or sending e-mail. but crystal reads it everyday and share the information about luke with me nightly. i see you both regularly in the office, and at times i may not know what to say to you about this whole ordeal that you are going through. now that i don't see you, i guess it is easier to express my feeling. i pray for luke and your whole family in my daily prayers. while it is impossible for me to feel or know what you are going through, being a parent myself help me understand your sadness and helplessness when your child is sick. my thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Good Evening Sarah,
I Pray that Luke's pain will reduce. I also pray for the GVH will diminish and fade away. That is the only barrier left and I wish he wasn't in so much pain. I know it is hard to watch him in this state but please be strong. I'm glad to hear the physicians are very concerned. The pain specialist will assist you tremendously. I think they heard your cries. So did God. Our prayers are with you Luke. I'm glad you have a lot of friends that are with you along this journey. I'm glad you are able to assist others through their journey. This will be battle for all but we will fight with you all the way until Luke is home safe and sound. We love you I hope you both have a better nights sleep. I will say extra prayers for Luke's severe pain. Good night and sweet dreams, Love Sue Andy Nicholas and Matthew

Dr. Do,
My husband is a neonatologist and has been in practice for 23yrs. Our son was dx with ALL '97. He suffered extreme complications related to chemo, as a result he has no pancreas, spleen, or gallbladder. We have been to four states and five hospitals and have experienced the same frustrating problems with doctors/residents/med students. I wish Luke an uncomplicated, smooth, speedy recovery as he begins his cancer-free life.

Sarah and Lam,
As physicians, I know you'd agree that there are hospital employees who are capable, conscientious and caring. I've met some of them there myself. But when some members of the transplant staff--from nurses up to the highest levels--fail to communicate with you and with one another and make serious mistakes, it becomes impossible to trust them with your child's life. I've heard the stories which you haven't posted on this site. I don't blame you guys for being frustrated and angry. I hope that the administration there wakes up and makes some reforms.
As you said, Lam, there's a lot to be thankful for. Luke found a donor--1 person in 4.5 million. That was like winning the lottery! His respiratory infection is gone. His counts are up. We hope the fungal infection and GVHD will soon be under control. Hang in there!

Hi Sarah Lam and precious Luke,
Thanks Lam for letting me see Sarah today we had a wonderful talk. i don't blame you for being frustrated with the staff. Remembering it is just a job to them. Yes, you do need to remind them that it is not just a job. His name is Luke Do, not just a kid, he is your son. You know what he is going through because you observe all day and all night. you have experience and knowledge. HELLO!!!! HELP LUKE!!!! NOW!!!! You don't care about what happened on their weekend. Don't worry the frustration is finally showing and they will get the hint. Be vocal if needed. That is their job.
On another note thank God that you found the problem hopefully you can treat this and move forward. Luke needs another up day, and so does Mom and Dad. Be strong you guys and don't worry he will be fine. God Bless LUKE!!
Love Sue Andy nicholas and Matthew

Since you ARE in the medical field,
you are a lot more aware of problems/complications than the average parent is.
But you are right, they should be giving you the respect.
I really really hope Luke starts feeling like his old self soon!!!

Luke, Lam, Sarah, and Christina-
We continue to pray for Luke and your family. We include him in our prayer for "refuah shlemah", a speedy healing. "A blessing from our forefathers, and a blessing from our foremothers: may the source of strength who blessed the ones before us, help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing and let us say Amen. Bless those in need of healing with refuah shlemah, the renweal of body, the renewal of spirit and let us say Amen."

We had the pleasure of taking our boys to Day Out with Thomas the Tank Engine at the California State Railroad Museum. I hear he's coming back in December, something to look forward to!

Hello There, I saw your website on another caringbridge page. My granddaughter had a marrow transplant on October 26th. We know how you are feeling and our thoughts are with you. I check Luke's page daily to see his progress. Our Meg also had a matched unrelated donor. As far as the RSV goes, we were told not to expect to go through the transplant process without at least one big thing happening so I guess that this must be yours. Keep the faith, all will work out.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the pictures his smile is wonderful. Don't worry these things are minor now and they are just the final hurdles that you all have to leap over. I know you are tired. Please just feel for the Lord he is still with you. Even these days too. You will have the up days and down days. Just tell the lord your aches and pains and he will listen. If you feel discouraged take a walk to the little yard there it is very tranquil and come back to see the wonderful creation god has given to you Luke. He is worth every moment that you are spending. You are the greatest parents anyone can ask for. Your strength and love for Luke is incredible and I admire you greatly. Don't worry you will bring your ray of sunshine home in just a few more weeks. God bless you all. Sue Andy Nicholas and Matthew

To Luke and his parents,

I am Kayli's Aunt Sani and Jennie's sister. I too spent 6 months living in the Hospital with my 6 year old daughter. From severe complications from having Meningitis. I know exactly what it's like to have a child with a serious illness.

I just wanted to wish Luke (who by the way is sooo Darn Cute!!) and your family strenght and happiness.

Luke has been in my daily prayers for him to overcome this disease. We often do not understand WHY? Innocent children have to endure such pain? Only God knows why. God ultimately has his plans for all of us. So hang in there!!

The power of prayer I believe helped my daughter (Lexi) get better and to finally be able to come home. There are lots of people out there praying for all the little Lukes and Kaylis of the world.

To your family from ours we wish you all the best!!

Luke and parents,

I'm pleased to see your doing better than some of your days in the past. We lost our nephew Michael Adrian Albizu to Leukemia 1 1/2 years ago. He was cared for at Stanford
Hospital as well. It was his 6th day into his transplant when a persistent fever led to convulsion, then ultimate lack of oxygen only to result in brain damage and death.

I will pray for you Luke! Your ever so cute and remind me so much of Michael. I want to you see beat this and will pray that you make it just fine to your 100th day with the transplant!

Parents: I know what a roller coaster ride the care has been for you. Stay strong!! I will pray for you too!

I was wondering if it is possible to take a pic of Luke while he is in the ward and post it on the web. We all would love to see him out of his bed. Don't worry today is just another day. Everything is growing rapidly and I'm sure his body is tired from producing all of those new cells inside. Hugs and Kisses and Prayers for all. Hope to see you soon.

My prayers are with you for this crutial week and don't worry the nose bleeds are just so graphic and I understand but he is still spunky and strong which is so great to hear.

This past weekend we had a practice training at Lake San Antonio (the site of the Wildflower Triathlon). We wanted to fold 1000 cranes in honor of Luke's birthday, but our plans were foiled by rainy weather. Needless to say, Luke was on all of our minds. He personally helped me get through the weekend. I know that regardless of how uncomfortable I was camping & training in the rain, Luke was fighting worst conditions. I sucked it up to honor him & prayed for his well being a lot! I hope the family is holding up well despite the eventful days & nights since the transfusion.

Hi Guys,

Hi all,
Sarah it was wonderful to see you today. It is so good to hear Luke is well. Those doctors do have to do their job a little better but Luke's advantage is he has you and Lam to look so closely at their every move. With your experience and knowledge it is helping Luke all the way. It's great to see Luke's spunk and vitality. He knows what he wants and he is a definite fighter. That comes from the both of you. He is a part of you both and seeing him I see the strength that you both have. God will not give us more than we can bare. Concentrate but please don't be discouraged you and the Lord are watching after Luke. Do as you have been and you will catch those awful mistakes. They can make excuses to others but they can't with you.
May God bless you and be with you this week especially. Love always Andy Sue Nicholas and Matthew

Hi Guys I was just reading your journal and I want you to know there are lots of people out there praying for your family and especially Luke. I've been in your shoes my son was diagonosed with JCML June 2000. He had his BMT Sept 2000 and things are going great. His transplant was very difficult and he had many of the side effects as well but he is proof that things will get better. Keep positive and keep fighting Luke!!

I check into the website often to see how things are going. I don't always have time to write, but I want you to know that I am thinking of you all and hoping that you will get through this difficult time. You are right about being the best advocates for your son...........it's a shame with all you have to do every day, that you have to do the nurses job too sometimes, but, it's neccessary. Afterall, Luke is your only patient.....they have many....not excusing them, but it's the nature of the beast. Unfortunately!! We had a few slip ups too, and it's disheartening. Get some rest when you can and take care of yourselves.

All the best,

I'm impressed, but not surprised at your strength. Please take some time for yourselves to "re-charge". I wish I was nearby to help out. Luke is a fortunate child to have such excellent medical attention, and such loving and strong parents. God bless all of you. Thanks for the website, it's great!

Sarah and Lam,
Pearl has kept me abreast about your son's illness and the ordeals you have had to face. She has been very pro-active in getting the message out, and I have provided her some suggestions regarding key individuals in the press and public policy who might highlight the special difficulties you have faced. I am hopeful we can garner some interest among Asian American journalists here in the Bay Area. Most importantly, I send you best wishes on the full recovery of your son. Being a father of three school aged children, I can only imagine the strength you must demonstrate to provide encouragement and support for your son. Good luck.

Dear Sarah and Lam,
I am so glad that you found me through Dana and I hope that I have been able to help in some way in your own struggles with JMML. It is a rare and deadly leukemia, and each case may be treated a little differently from the rest, but Brian is proof that our kids can get through it. The road is long and hard and bumpy.........much like a roller coaster ride, except you really can't get off! So hang on tight.....to each other, to your family and friends, to your new "family" in the medical community and especially to your children, and just love them!! It is so easy to say just take it one day at a time, but it is truly the ONLY way to get through this. I won't go on here because I have already written to you privately, but I wanted to send my support on your website for others to see too, that Luke has a wonderful chance at getting through this. It may have taken 5 yrs and two transplants to get where he is today, but Brian is currently free from JMML and we will celebrate 3 yrs without leukemia in June! There IS hope! Hang on to that and the knowledge that these kids are so very special.....they have a strength and spirit like nobody else!

Let me know whatever I can do. I will think of Luke and Kayli and Zachary and Cindy and all the others out there that are fighting this beast and pray that they all come through with flying colors!! Let them all join the "miracle club" with Brian!(www.caringbridge.com/co/brianspage)

All the best!

Sarah, your spirit is amazing. You and Lam are really handling this with grace. For this being a rare disease it amazes me that Luke and Kayli will be at the same hospital for BMT at the same time. A little boy Colby is now at Children's in Pittsburg and will have his marrow on Friday. Cindy and Libbie will be following suit. There is also another child, Jessy, that should be in the BMT part of treatment. I am glad we all found each other. Hang in there. I wont even try to sugar coat what you are going through...it is tough. Please know there are MANY people praying!

What a beautiful family.
I am so sorry to have to meet you here, and under these circumstances.
My son was diagnosed at 3 1/2 with ALL, and my world fell apart that day.
I cant even imagine a rarer form, and so much younger and more helpess.
I wont ask you how you cope, because I know its day by day, sometimes hour by hour.
Luke is a tough little guy though and he will be fine, you'll see.
Leukemia just plain stinks.
Its a shame that in this day & age the only thing that truly does not discriminate is cancer....
there's way too many kids out there with it.

I know that this is a hard time for you. I tried to reach you by phone. Don't have the hospital phone number. I'm glad you are posting Luke's progress on this site. Randy and I have been thinking about him all day today and yesterday. It's nice to see that you guys have a lot of people rooting for you. A lot of my friends are concerned--Joanne, Karen T., Margaret M.. Randy's family members in Iowa and Texas ask about Luke all the time. He is in their prayers. Please call when you get a chance or email me with your phone number at the hospital.
I'll see you all in a few weeks. Give Luke a kiss for us. His birthday is coming up--I'll bring birthday presents! Take care and let us know if we can do anything.

IN READING THROUGH SEVERAL OF THE COMMENTS IN THE ADDRESS BOOK, IT LOOKS LIKE LUKE HAS LOTS OF PRAYERS BEING LIFTED UP FOR HIS SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY, AND I WILL CERTAINLY ADD MY OWN TO IT AS WELL. SOMETIMES TIMES LIKE THIS COME INTO OUR LIVES SO WE WILL LOOK TO GOD FOR OUR HELP, AND I WOULD REFER YOU TO THE 23RD PSALM FOR ENCOURAGEMENT AND STRENGTH THROUGH THIS "VALLEY". MY PRAYERS GO WITH YOU AND SARAH AND ESPECIALLY LUKE DURING THIS TIME THAT YOU WILL ONE DAY BE ABLE TO ENJOY ALL THE WONDERFUL TIMES WITH LUKE THAT ARE MEANT TO BE.

Dear Luke, Lam, Sarah, and Christina,
Our heartfelt prayers are with Luke and your family. I spent last evening reading your journal entries which are remarkable. Luke is so fortunate to have such love and strength from his parents. I think your wonderful openness with Luke's family and community are inspiring.
As to entertaining a two year old, I think the advice to living and being in the moment is powerful. Art projects also work well- dot paints, play dough, wiki stix, crayons, stickers (there are lots of train stickers out there), coloring books. I would be happy to bring these things by.
Luke is in our prayers.
Love

I wanted to wish you good luck over the next crucial 100 days. I will pray for Luke to have an easy and safe BMT. I also will be praying for you, Sarah and Lam, that you will have the emotional strength to get through this. For all the friends and family of The Do family; now is the time they need you the most. Send cards and encouraging words often. Great gift ideas would be pre paid calling cards, books, magazines, and homemade meals (of course chocolate is an absolute neccessity). Ask them what they need...they will tell you.
I will follow Luke's story closely and keep your family close to my heart...God bless and protect Luke.

Dear Lam and Sarah,

I met you and Luke at the Team in Training track workout last Thursday night. Luke looks so great! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We will fight the good fight with you, and I will be racing a triathlon this spring for Luke and others like him. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Dr. Gaskins and Dr. Do,
Thanks for letting me have a glimpse of Luke's Journal and his pictures too. I'm very happy to know there are many others praying for Luke. My family prays the rosary everyday and we petition God to bless Luke.
I hope to bring awareness to the Marrow Donor program in my community. God bless you and your family.

Hi Sarah--I was so touched by the fact that you remembered my birthday during this extremely difficult time. Thank you so much for the beautiful card. Please let me know where you will be staying in Palo Alto and how I can reach you there. I'd like to come down and maybe get out for a good walk and lunch. Sunshine and exercise always helps! I pray for God to give you and Lam strength to get through this difficult time and for Luke to respond well to the treatment and come through this strong and smiling. Kimmie and I absolutely fell in love with him when we were there in November. You've been my best friend since 6th grade--you know I'd do anything in the world to help. Again, please let me know where/how to reach you in Palo Alto. See you soon. Love, Deb

Hello. Our daughter got CML when she was four. Keep trying to stay in the moment..that's where life happens. It's hard, but being calm and present allows you to do the best for your son. I will pray that God gives you the strength to endure this terrible challenge. Take Care, Rob Howard.

I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying this beautiful sunny day at home. Sorry I did not come today but I will do so for sure this coming weekend. If you need anything, let me know. I wish Luke-chan has a bigger appetite for nutritious foods that'll make him stronger. I will do anything you want me to do. Good luck with the upcoming BMT and we all wish Luke-chan will make it through.
I am praying for all of you and I love you very much! Best wishes!

We think about you guys all the time, especially little Luke. We wish we were closer so we could help more--you guys need breaks! I don't know how you keep going. Went to the Vietnamese New Years festival here in Chicago today. Had Vietnamese food and saw some awesome dragon dancers (maybe they were lions). Luke would have enjoyed that! Took flyers about Luke and info about the Vietnamese-American girl in Colorado. We hope to work with the local Vietnamese association to organize a bone marrow drive in the Asian American communities here and raise awareness of the problem of too few donors for Asian-Americans. People were very concerned and sorry to hear about Luke's illness. Please take care of yourselves. Try to take some breaks. I know you want to be there for Luke constantly, but you really need to get away and give yourselves breaks every couple of days. That will help with the stress a lot. So Lam, get out your basketball, and Sarah, put on your jogging shoes. Please try.
Love you guys.

Hi Sarah,Luke and family,
Happy Valentine's Day!!
I am sorry that I have not written you, I have been
on vacation down in so Cal. Gosh it was nice. Anyway,
it looks like we will be heading up to Stanford here
in the beginning of March. Kayli got her last blood draw
just to make sure that all the A's and B's are a good match
with her donor. I will let you know of some definite dates
real soon.
I hope that all goes well for Luke as he get's ready for transplant. I know that this is trying for all of us but
Sarah keep your chin up high and let's all pray for the best.
Take care and talk to you soon.
Hey by the way did Nathan give you info regarding Kayli's
trust fund? If not just let me know and I will remind him.
I would give you all the details but his mother was the one
who set this up for us.
We look forward to meetng you at Stanford!!!

Dear Sarah, Lam, Luke and Kuri-chan:
I'm praying that Luke will pull through all the challenges he is about to face and that he will be well again. I always look forward to playing with him when I'm at your home and it's so joyful to see him laughing and running around the house. I hope that he'll always be able to laugh and shriek with joy. These next few trying months, I'm going to try to be there for all of you. Luke, you are #1!

Dear Lam, Sarah, Luke & Christina Hope

Our prayers will always be with Luke and your family. Luke looks so adorable. We hope and wish Luke the very best with his BMT. Unfortunately, we got to know Luke and your family in a very sadden way since our 3 years old Cindy diagnosed with JMML last Friday 1/25/02.

Luke, we know you can fight this disease and our little Cindy can too. Get well soon OK little guy. God always be with you.

Love,

To the Do Family:
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I feel as if I know you because I am a friend of Lam's sister, Cuc and we talk often about your darling children. ("my babies" as Cuc calls them) Luke's site is great and the links are very informative. My heritage is Hungarian, Dutch and French American so I would be of no help to Luke, but I plan to become registered. Maybe I could help someone else. The next time I give blood, the Blood Institute will just take an extra vial or two of blood. It's as simple as that, I was told. I appreciate all the information that you have put out there for people to be aware of the importance of registering and what to expect if you are chosen to be a donor. It seems like a fairly easy thing to do which should not involve much pain. Especially not compared to the pain that the recipient has been through.
Again, my prayers are with you each and every day.
