Luke Paul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think I owe it to everyone to write a little excerpt about
Lukey or Luke Duke as Daisy has been calling him. I realize his thoughts and expressions may give the impression that he is
never all that happy. BUT I assure you he is happy...once in a while. Luke appears to be a tough kid. He came out screaming
and has really never stopped. Tantrums occur regulary, he fights us when we try and make him eat, he throws things, crashes
into Daisy's tea party, rips apart her lego towers, the list can go on and on. I've tried eliminating sugar and taking away
Gluten, but then there would be nothing going into his mouth. Some may say I did this to myself. Perhaps by catering to him,
holding him when he cries and whines, or letting him sleep with me so I can get at least 2 hours of uniterrupted sleep
a night. And I thought about this...should I have been harder with him? Drawn the line a bit sturdier with Luke?
But I don't think it is my parenting at all (OK- maybe a little of my parenting). Daisy, Luke and Bobbie are being raised
by the same parents in the same environment with the same rules. Yet Daisy is a joy, eats peas and squash, sleeps about 14
hours a day, and Luke just doesn't do any of these things. Bobbie won't utter a word during bath time even if I've accidentally
made the water too cold and even a diaper change seems like fun for her. So I'm thinking maybe its a boy thing??? Or maybe it's just Luke Paul Ross. Anyway- we LOVE him to no end no matter what he does, or says,
or screams! His smile will let him get away with anything - if you can finally catch a glimpse of it!

Prayer for Daisy
(This prayer truly helped me when Daisy was in the hospital. I hope it can be used to help other families
in need) Gentle Jesus, stay beside your child Daisy Grace. Take away any pain,
keep her safe, help her at this time, make her body strong and her heart glad. Thank you for your love which surrounds her
always. Amen. A Special Thank
You Our sincere appreciation
goes out to everyone who has followed the path of our Precious little girl and is still following her progress into a little
lady. Thinking back to June 2007, so much has taken place from a rocky start in the NICU, to a year of therapy, to watching
Daisy grow and progress. We never forget how much love and support and care we received. All of the prayers, kindness,
friendship, generousity, and thoughtfulness gave us the strength to face each day and focus on the moment. We only hope we
can help provide enough love, support and strength to others going through similar situations. Thank you with all
of our heart.
