Luke's First Step

Luke was supposed to have his sleep study tonight, but his nose has closed down and he can't handle being capped for more than an hour or so when asleep.
Surgery tomorrow: CA dilation. Hopefully we can convince them that the time to do a sleep study is a couple of weeks after the CA dilation, not a month and a half later.
He is also scheduled to have a 24 hr study on Monday and maybe he can do that still. If he can stand being capped for 24 hrs then the trach can come out.
Big News - Luke walked with his walker the length of the living room. Very exciting.
Biggest News - Luke was leaning against the recliner when he pushed himself off, stood for a half second and took his first step towards Candi. He was a bit off-balance but it was definitely a step. We were both there to see it. Naturally we are both ecstatic and perhaps a bit teary.
