Hi Luke! Great to hear that you are all keeping cool and enjoying the pool! WE live in Florida too! (Boca Raton) I wonder if that is near you? Stay well and hop on by Jimmy's web site if you can. He is our little son and he also has a caringbridge web site. Much love, Lin, Jim, Mike, Amy & Jimmy-Joe~* http://www.caringbridge.org/fl/jimmyjoe/

We talked to Luke for a minute Sunday morning and I was surprised by how much deeper his voice is. I guess I haven't been able to hear him talk much the last few times I've seen him with all the yappy girls around him.
I sure wish we could transfer some of Elizabeth's energy to Luke.
You're in our prayers and we'll see you soon. Happy Birthday Payton!

I'm glad to hear Lukey made it through a visit from the head clown. No, not Peter -- Ronald. I was afraid he was going to show up at some point. I hope it wasn't too scary.
We're praying for your whole family and the new friends you're making there.

They Won! 35-34 was the score, they were in the lead the whole time, it was such an Intense, Exciting and close game, (even for Aunt Kim), it got a little loud & crazy(fun)...you know-with Uncle Steve & Uncle Brian, and they got Everybody goin'! ;-) and Jbear made the last scoring winning shot! It was cool! Grandpop, you would have loved it! Lukey, this was for you..."Again, Angels were all Around!" See you all soon!

Damian,Amanda, Peyton, and Luke, you don't know me but I heard about your story about 2 weeks ago from my dear neighbor Kim Kirby who was here to visit you. I must tell you since she told me about Luke I have visited your sight and every night I pray for Luke to get better. I have found that the power of prayer is so powerful and in my heart I know things will get better, it may be slow but they will improve. God is watching over all of you and blessing you with his love.

Elizabeth spent most of her first 3 days in the NICU (photo) because she wasn't quite ready to breath. They took her from me less than 10 minutes after she was born. I never felt so alone in all my life, standing there with no idea what was happening. It was all I could do to keep from pushing past the nurses to find out, but I knew she was in good hands. I didn't see her again for over an hour. I don't think Ann even got to touch her again for almost a day. I remember standing over her and not being allowed to touch her. I remember the constant noise of the monitors. I remember videotaping her just sleeping so I could show Ann our daughter. I remember posting that photo and updates on the web for our friends and family. I remember that fear, frustration, and doubt.
I pray for all of us, especially Amanda, Damian and Luke: Do not be afraid. Believe and he will be healed.

Dear Damian, Amanda, Payton & Lukey
Today in church Pastor David Thanked The Lord for all the successful surgeries this week. We knew he meant Lukey's in particular. He also asked the Lord to be with the one's in need of healing.. Lukey again. What a miracle to hear that Lukey could respond to questions from the doctors. That is just the beginning of a total recovery. Praise God for the right vocal cord to be functioning and we pray for the left one to be healed completely!!!!! We need to hear him say Camford!!! Dear Lord let him say Camford!!!
WE PRAY FOR STRENGH TO BE BROUGHT INTO LUKE'S BODY SO THE FEEDING TUBE CAN BE REMOVED AND WE PRAY THAT THE SWELLING IN THE THROAT BE HEALED SO THAT THE TUBE CAN BE REMOVED AND WE PRAY TO JESUS THAT LUKE CAN BREATHE ON HIS OWN SO THE TUBE CAN BE TAKEN AWAY.
We are positive a miracle has been given... but God is not finished... He has to put the finishing touches on all this. One day at a time as little Luke's body is ready for the next step, so it will be. NO MORE TUBES.
So glad to hear that you got to hold Luke!!! How comforting that must have been. He knows you are there and hears your voices and hears your prayers.
TOMMORROW WILL BE AN EVEN BETTER DAY!!!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL... A SPECIAL GOD BLESS AND PEACEFUL REST FOR LUKE AND WE ALSO LOVE AND MISS YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!
Love, Jim, Susan & Katy Yeager
Lukey, WE are so proud of you for staying so strong through all this and for allowing God to work on you!!
You are the BEST and the BRAVEST LITTLE GUY AROUND
WE LOVE YOU!

Dear Damian and Amanda, The Lord answers our prayers in so many ways I wish we could know as He does it! I know he heard our prayers to get you all there safely and to guide the Dr.'s hands. I am a friend of Kelly o's and a nurse at Tampa General. Your Luke is a miracle already just getting through the surgery and knowing you when the breathing tube was removed. Praise God! They may need to rest him for a few days to reduce any swelling that may be affecting his vocal cords and larynx (where the breating tube was). I'm sure the surgery was long so the breating tube was in a long time too. I hope to comfort you by letting you know my small group on Tuesday morning is praying for you all at VDUMC. God works in mighty way"s! We will continue to pray as a group and on our own. The Church is with you as is God. In Christ.

Dear Amanda, Damian, Luke and Payton,
We are all so proud of you. Just reading your entries in the Journal touches soo many hearts.
I think if I would ever come into that situation I would not be able to handle it the way you guys are. It really shows how strong your faith is and how so many people feed from it and grow bigger in theirs.
Wow, what a testimony you guys can give. I think truly, that you are chosen to go through that pain, so that a lot of people who don't even know Jesus or God can learn just from your example.
I think that this hard and testing part of your life is the dicipleship God has chosen for you to do. And even though for you it might seem too hard of a task, God knows who He chooses for His plans (Moses,Abraham, Paul, etc.).
I can tell my faith grew enormous, compaired to how it was before. But I think it still takes me a while to get to the strong rock solid faith that you guys have.
I am looking up to you and go WOW, I want to be like you.
And I know what you just been through is real work for the Kingdom.
Jesus is STANDING next to the father (like Matthew preached the other day I think it was about Stephen)and cheers you on, going: Yeah, Damian and Amanda way to go, you are great!!
That's all I can say. We continue praying for you and Luke.
We are sure his breathing will become fine and he will cure 100%. It just takes some time and we have to be patient.
Remember it's always God's schedule not ours.
We love you all, just hang on and don't forget to get some rest yourself. You need to be strong for Luke and your family.

I was praying for Luke and the Lord gave me a verse that I believe is for you to hold on to. It is
“You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.”
II Chronicles 20:17
Lord, I thank you that we do not have to fight the battle. Father you are such an awesome Lord to fight our battles for us. I pray for each and everyone who is at the hosptial for Luke right now that you would give them strength to take their positions and to stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord. I come against satan in the Name of the Jesus, I cancel any and all assignments that he thought he could put on Luke and plead the blood of Jesus over them. The line has been drawn and he has no authority over Lukes body and must leave in Jesus name. We will rejoice in the wonder of you Lord and all that you are doing in Luke's Life. Amen

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, we ask you to continue praying for Lukes esophagus and trachea as they are paralyzed at this time. The doctors are discussing a tracheotomy with feeding tube. Please pray the swelling subsides and the nerves release their hold and he is free of the paralization. Pray that Damian and Amanda find rest and a given further comfort from the Great Healer. We don't want a partial miracle God, we go before you boldly, nagging at you to complete the whole miracle.

Great news! And hopefully the news in the next few days and weeks will be just as good. As I remember my little boy in the ICU and later in the regular rooms, the one thing that stands out was that you could almost see him getting better by the hour. I hope Luke is already trying to pull out the rest of his tubes and do somersaults! You guys are still in my thoughts and will continue to be so as long as you need it.

It is wonderful to spend time with my Lord concerning dear friends such as the DeAndreas!
It is awesome to know that He is listening, He is able and He is willing.
May the God who first breathed the breath of life into Luke and continues to breathe the breath of his Holy Spirit into strenghthened believers such as Lukey's Mommy and Daddy...
Breathe anew, His strong and holy breath into Lukey's body so that Lukey may be able to breathe on his own as his Holy Father has willed at Lukey's birth.
"The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life."
-Gen.2:7
"And with that He breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit".
-John 20:22
Love you and praying,
Laura :)

Remember that NOTHING is too difficult for God. My 9 year old son, Matthew, was diagnosed two years ago with a brainstem tumor. He is alive today and doing great because of the power of prayer and the grace of God.
I KNOW miracles happen and I will be praying for Luke's.

Dear Amanda and Damian,
I recently read the story about your little boy Luke. My mom e-mailed you earlier. My name is Rachel and I am 18 years old, and am a Senior at Armwood High School. I honsetly never thought that the day would come that I was to graduate. See, in 7th grade I was diagnosed with a cyst on my brain stem. The cyst was larger than the size of an egg, and had a major artery running through it, and nerves rapped around it. I can only hope that your little boy's condition is not as serious. I just read about Luke, and I really hope that he is doing okay. I know my mom e-mailed you, and I hope her words of encouragement helped you. I know I can't offer anything to help, but all I know is that Luke needs you; becaues of my experiance, I now know what I want to do with the rest of my life. I am going to college to become a Child-Life Specialist. You will become VERY familur with these caring people. They help though the good and the bad, the happy the sad, and just play with you and make you feel better. I am so honored to have had the pleasure of hearing about little Luke, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your ffamily. If you ever need anything, a babysitter for your daughter or anything, I would absoulutly love to help. I am a wonderful babysitter, I watch Kathy and Rick Jones' little girl Kelsey. Once again, my thought and prayers are with you in your time of need. May God bless you the way that he has me, and my family.
Sincerly,

Dear Amanda and Damian, I am a friend of a friend. I have a beautiful 18 year old daughter, Rachel, who had similar surgery 5 1/2 years ago. Same scary situation. Same scary probable outcomes. I remember having the peace that certainly surpassed any understanding I would ever have, that she was God's child first, and he loved her more than I did, and no matter what happened, he would still be Lord of all. And He knows her days, and there are no surprises in heaven. It brought me amazing peace. Today, she is getting ready to graduate high school, still plays her flute, and drives. May Gods love and peace richly surround you, may you feel His presence in a powerful way, may Luke feel the amazing touch of His healing. May your daughter see the joy of the Lord in her brothers eyes. From one who knows, "Be still" and know that He is God. Blessed be the name of the Lord. May this season in your life be one that you look back on as the sweetest, most blessed time in your life, and not just the most difficult.

Wonderful news!!! Thank you for taking time out of your very difficult day to keep us informed. We know our prayers are working and he will continue to progress and recover. It can be so very scary....reading your words brought it all back for us. Nicholas was very traumatized by all the needles, surgery, ICU and everything...but he has overcome it and like him, I know Luke is strong and will be a tough little soldier. Kids are the most resilient people on earth and we will never underestimate what they will be able to accomplish. They truly are God's miracles on earth.
Our prayers will continue!!!!
With lots of love!

As a former pediatric intensive care nurse I understand some of the stress and fear that you are feeling. I also know the power of prayer and God is still in the business of miracles.
I am so glad to hear how well Lukey is doing and Praise the Lord for His Mercy and Grace. I know that He will keep you all wrapped in His loving arms.

So very very happy that things went so well!!!
Recovery is a long hard road, but will be made much easier with prayers, and those we are sending. It always boggles my mind how strong little ones truly are. Katie pulled out her intubation tube five minutes after her surgery and started breathing on her own. I was told she would have it in for at least twenty four hours.Just goes to show she and the Lord had other things in mind.
Praying for quick recovery for little Luke!

Praise God! Luke and family, I wanted to tell you of a passage I was reading during my prayers yesterday morning during the surgery....about 10:15 I felt a strong urge to go pray...I had someone cover my classroom and I went to the synagogue on property. I found a Bible and began fervent prayer. As I read Psalm 118, one particular verse rang out to me...v17 "I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done" This miracle HAS proclaimed what the Lord has done and will continue to do so. So many lives that you don't even know have been touched by this miracle. I feel the Lord has great plans for your family. Recovery, complete healing, comfort and thanksgiving will now be at the top of my prayer list. We look forward to seeing you all again.
This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Happy Valentines Day DeAndreas,
This has to be the longest and happiest Valentines Day ever. God has shown everyone his awesome power through your miraculous day. Our family will continue to pray for you. I know most of Tampa Bay prayed for you today, I even heard a prayer request on the radio today for you.
We are making you an honarary member of the Servefest team,our goal is to change one life at a time...you have touched and are changing lives by the bucketload. Tonight I received an email from a friend who is a testimony to this, she wrote... "Their faith in God is incredible and I believe has made many people, including myself, renew their faith and trust that God will help us through everything.....". You are a truly awesome family and I am very grateful as I am sure everyone at our church is that we have been so blessed to have your family part of our church family and that your miracle has strengthened our faith and reminded us what the power of prayer and pure faith in God can do.
Thanks be to God for our pintsize miracle Luke!

I have just spoke with Uncle Jake & Nanna Dorothy. As I was listening to them rejoice & tell of God's GREAT miracles for Luke One phrase came to my mind. As I started looking at the other entries it seems that others also had the same phrase to come forth also:

PRAISE HIM ALL CREATURES HERE BELOW
PRAISE HIM ALL HEAVENLY HOST
PRAISE FATHER, SON & HOLY GHOST!!!!!!!!!

Dear Amanda & Damian,
Today we have had the Best Valentine Gift! We are all Overjoyed to hear the fabulas news so far of Luke's surgery. To describe it, would be to say that it feels like weights gently, slowly being lifted off our shoulders, getting through this first part. We can only (imagine) what you must be feeling. We know the Lord is doing his job, and that he isn't quite finished yet, but the miracle IS beginning! We are all so very thankful and will always continue to keep praying. Wish we could be there with you, but please know that our hearts are. Thank you also for still being able to continue keeping us all updated, and also thank you 'Michelle' for keeping us informed as well. Give a big kiss to Payton & Lukey for us, and send our love to the whole 'support crew' up there. Keep doing everything you're doing, & stay strong and we'll see you soon! We love you guys. Lukey, Stay Tough, Little Guy!
Bless you all &....

I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU LIKE YOUR GIFTS BUT EVEN MORE I AM GLAD THAT YOU GOT YOUR MIRACLE. WHEN YOU GET WELL LUKEY YOU WILL HAVE TO COME FOR A VISIT TO SEE YOUR UNCLE JC & ME.

Damian & Amanda...I can't even begin to imagine the emotional rollercoaster you guys have been on the past month. BUT, you've both been standing TALL & STRONG and TRUSTING OUR AWESOME GOD to be at your side and give you that strength and the MIRACLE you and so many others have prayed for. Today was another confirmation of how GOD works in the lives of HIS children. Little Luke is such a "trooper"....and Payton is a special little Valentine too!! I know there's some long hours to go through yet, but I think you'd agree the most agonizing ones are over and in the past now. Continue to lean on GOD and let HIM shower HIS blessings on you and your family. Praying that there will be NO complications as Luke begins his road to recovery from his big surgery. Everytime I woke up last night I said prayer for your strength, for little Luke and for the precise skill and wisdom for the doctors. GOD's LOVE is shining through you guys. Luke will go in the PRAISE REPORT section of the Prayer/Care Notes I'm about to update. Love & Hugs to ALL!!!

A Prayer for Luke
Psalm 139 13-18
Dear Lord,
You made all the delicate, inner parts of Luke's body
and knit him together in Amanda's womb.
Thank you for making him so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous--and how well we know it.
You watched Lukey as he was being formed in utter seclusion,
as he was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw him before he was born. EVERY DAY of his life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
How PRECIOUS are your thoughts about Luke, O God! They are innumerable! He can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when he wakes up in the morning, you are still with him!
Father, be with Luke, hold his hand and guide the hands of Dr. Boop, Sandford and the rest of the team as they make themselves available to you.
Amen.
Ann, Henry, Anthony & Jonathan Thomas <henryannt@msn.com>

Dear Lukey,
You are such a brave young man! I consider it an honor to be able to share in the strength and faith you and your family are showing during such a difficult time. Tomorrow, and in the days to come, I will be praying for peace and calm for you, your family and friends to not worry as we are wrapping you in the protective blanket of God's mercy...I will be praying that the surgeon's and medical staff perform the most skillful surgery they have ever performed...and I will be praying for a rapid recovery for you so that you can quickly get back to doing the things you like to do.

Hi! You don't know me, but a friend told me about Luke. I just read all about Luke. My heart goes out to you and the family. God is Great, Just and Miraculous and Luke will make it. Continue to be strong and have FAITH. God will do the rest. HE'S IN CONTROL. Psalm 23--The Lord is my Shepherd (relationship). I shall not want (supply). He maketh me to lie down in green pastures (rest). He leadeth me beside the still waters (refreshment). He restoreth my soul (healing). He leaded me in the paths of righteousness (guidance). For His name sake (purpose). Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (testing). I will fear no evil (protection). For Thou art with me (faithfulness). Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me (discipline). Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies (hope). Thou annointest my head with oil (consecration). My cup runneth over (abundance). Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life (blessing). And I will dwell in the house of the Lord (security). Forever (eternity).
God Bless you all!

All our love and prayers are with you, and we know the Lord will give you strength and peace this week as he has throughout this ordeal.
Jarrett asked me last night "why does God need us to pray a lot, doesn't He hear us the first time?"
I told him "Y'know how I know what you REALLY want for Christmas? I know because you ask for something a lot of times and sometimes even get other people to remind me about it."
Well, I think God is the same way, the more prayers he hears on Luke's behalf, the greater he knows the sincere faith in Him to deliver Luke safely and whole. So we'll all keep on praying for God's deliverance of your beautiful baby, and expecting the miraclue of His greatness.
Love to all -

I have done what you asked. I have stopped now and prayed for little Luke. I have asked God to not allow any complications as a result of his surgery. I KNOW that God is with you and HE will answer all of our prayers according to HIS will. Please know there are so many people praying for Luke and for you. We are so blessed to have our Lord to turn to during times like these and just for everyday things. Your faith is God is uplifting to me, thanks for that. The most precious souls to me are my kids and I admire you for your trust in God during this scary time.

God loves His Luke more than all of us. WOW... I think Amanda stated it well that we are all enjoying a priviledge that God is giving us to know Luke. Each time that I pray for Luke I picture God's Fatherly love pouring over Luke. Know that God hears our prayers and that He knows those plans that He has for Luke. I love all of you and will continue to pray for God's miracle!

We hope the Holy Spirit will come upon the doctors, nurses and all involved in that surgery.
As you are up there our hearts are with you and we can't wait to see Lukey completely healed again.
We love you and Jesus loves you.

Psalm 46:7 - "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1, "The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge." Thanks to everyone for clinging so closely to our family and lifting us up continually to our God. We know our world too is in troubled times and as I was searching the scripture today regarding words from God for us, he showed me Psalm 46:9-11 - "He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge." Our hope is in Christ. Let us comfort one another with these words.....Just like many of you, we have a special friend, (Uncle Mike) in our family circle who has been ordered overseas and he and his family need our prayers just as all of our armed service people do. Let's be faithful to lift them up in prayer....God Bless Us All......You make my heart smile....Love Nanna

Good morning Amanda and Damian.... I am praying hard for Lukey's speedy recovery, for your amazing peace and inter-strength and for Payton to continue being that super big sister that she is. Although we have only known each other for a short time, your family has touched me in a way I can't describe. I see that Dorothy is an amazing women, mother and friend to you both... she's a wonderful person and Damain, you are the family's "strong rock". In time, we will get to know one another better, I will make sure of that! I couldn't have asked for a better family to be involved with.
Praying for that miracle... we love you guys.

I don't even know you, but i feel like I do. My heart is broken for you, but yet I know that there is so much love and peace that you will be just fine. Reading some of the other journal entries, it amazes me how much love just radiates from this computer screen. You are truly loved. God is doing something amazing, even if you don't realize it, in the way you handle the situation and the grace and peace you are walking through it with. I know, bc I have been sick for 7 years and have had several neurosurgeries myself. As a matter of fact, on friday I will be in NY meeting with yet another team of neurosurgeons for lots of testing and to see if they can fix the problem. Continue to allow God's love to shine through you, you'd be amazed at the numbers of lives you are touching, and you don't even realize it. You will be in my prayers as I travel to NY the next few days and am in the hospital myself. Blessings and love!

Mandy & Damian: I was reading in Romans 9: 37 -" Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." NOTHING can separate us from the love of God......Ephesians 6:13-Wherefore, take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.....
(13) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; (15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spririt, which is the word of God. (18) Praying always with all prayer and suplication in the Spirit....."
As Christians we are in day to day warfare. This is the armour that we must wear in order to fight off evil. We're in a battle....but I've read the back of the Book.............. and......... WE WIN!!!!!!
I love you all dearly.........Love Mom

We need to have another cousin sleepover when we get back from Memphis like we had at Christmas time.......We all had such a good time. That's what we'll do. There'll be Jarett, Austin, Shawn, Payton, Luke, Buddy.....There'll be three missing; Alexa, Geo and Tony.....because they live so far away. We'll do it again then when they come.

We love you and continue to pray for you! God does work miracles! "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:6-7

Hello! This is Diana Nettuno (Larissa McHale's sister) and I just wanted to let you know that Luke has been in my prayers and on my mind since I heard your story and yesterday at church we discussed having faith in miracles and God's healing powers. Specifically, we discussed 2Kings 4:8-37. I don't know if anyone has offered this scripture to you but I thought it might be another source of hope. We will be continually thinking of you all and praying for the perfect surgery!

A friend of mine sent me an email about Luke, and it really hit home! Our family went through something similar with our 3 1/2 year old, and Luke brought all of the memories right back to the surface. I will be keeping Luke in the forefront of my thoughts, and hope that everything goes well for him and your family on Friday!
I also kept a journal as we went through what you're going through, so if you think it may be of any use to you, you can read it here: http://www.deepcoach.com/history.shtml
Again, we're pulling for you guys and hope everything goes well!

Good Morning Lukie! Uncle Stevie, Tonya, Austin and I had so much fun with you yesterday! Ms. Dawn will certainly keep her shoes on, you little toe monster! I'll tickle you next time when "you least expect it"!
Ms. Payton, I hope you liked your hair braided, you looked so stylish! Ms. Dawn loved how you fixed hers, I wore it that all the way home. You were such a big girl getting on your bike after you stubbled, you didn't even cry.
Amanda and Damian... we enjoyed spending time with you and your family yesterday. We are praying for Luke daily and are hoping for a rapid recovery. Please be careful on your trip and again, if you need anything, please do hesitate to lean on us.
We love you guys!!! Dawn, Steve, Austin and Tonya

Hi to all that read this questbook and especially the DeAndrea's. I check your guestbook and journal daily to stay abreast of what is going on in all of your lives. I feel very connected and an outpour of love among so many people. It's amazing how God uses the internet to show the strength he gives all of us to accept his will. Lukey I look forward to seeing you and your family soon so get better fast!! I pray the Lord's hand will heal the boo boo in your head and make you well again. My heart and prayers go out to You, Mommy, Daddy and Payton.

Hi to the DeAndrea Gang...hope you ALL had a wonderful time at Disney on Saturday!! I'm sure Luke and Payton especially enjoyed the day. I was just with my daughter and her family for dinner and my granddaughter, Courtney, 7 asked how Luke and Katia were doing. You might remember last weekend when she stayed with me I showed her both Luke's website and his pictures with his sister and also little Katia who also has a website. I noticed that Katia's mother sent you a note too...what a great way for the families to encourage each other. Courtney says she prays for both Luke and Katia everyday. Children are so very precious....each and everyone of them! Praying that you'll have a safe trip to Tennessee and a VERY SUCCESSFUl surgery, a speedy recovery and that GOD will guide Dr. Stanford's hand ever so skillfully and carefully. May you all feel the peace of JESUS living in your lives. God Bless!

It was so good to see you all at church today! Luke and Pay, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to ask you about Disney, but I will stop by when I come home in March, and you guys can tell me all about it then!! I'm sure you both had a blast!!!! You guys make me smile!!! I love you all and I will continue to pray for a miracle as well as safe travel. I will also be fasting on Friday for Luke's miracle, and I am encouraging others to do the same.. I have FAITH that God's will, whatever it is, will make Luke's life a shining testimony of God's greatness, love, and power!!
I'll leave you with a familiar verse written differently: "What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is evidence of things we cannot yet see."
Hebrews 11:1

went yesterday. She had a great time and it was her first trip. All day she had
this permanent smile attached to her face and a gleam in her eyes of amazement!

Memphis, TN USA - Friday, February 7, 2003 10:19 PM CST
Our prayers are that if there are any other courses of treatment, that they would be revealed to you. Also that you would have received many medical opinions prior to making the decision for this type of surgery. God does indeed perform miracles. His miracle in this case, may be the revelation of a treatment with less tragic results for Luke. My mother-in-law is having her tumor shrunk, instead of cut out, with no ill effects. I have to assume you have explored EVERY possibility, being a parent myself, but just incase you haven't...don't be afraid to step out and explore. It could mean a huge difference in the quality of Luke's life post treatment. My family and I will continue to pray for God's will in this situation and that you have exhausted all other options. May the Lord give you peace or move you to change course, whatever is His will. Remember we are in His hands. God bless.

Damian and Amanda, keep the faith. When our daughter was 7 yrs. old, we were told she had a circulatory deficiency to the hip joint and would never walk again. But the prayers of the saints changed that. Two months later she was walking. I believe in miracles! Mark 11:23-24 tells us that we can have what we say, if we do not doubt, but believe. I am praying for Luke and SAYING that he is healed. My calendar is marked for continuous prayer on 2/14. Jesus bore those stripes for our healing...KEEP THE FAITH!

Hey Amanda, Damian, Payton and Luke. I can only imagine the numbers of people that are, and will continue to be, in prayer for Luke. I wanted you to know that many of my family and friends from across the country have put Luke and your family on their prayer chains, small groups, etc. Even Kol Ami, the local synagogue in North Tampa, has Luke listed for their healing prayers. The Sickmon family loves you all and will continue to ask God for healing, guidance and comfort for your family. Remember, God is Good....All the Time. Have a blast at Disney World....do the Fast Pass for Buzz Lightyear....it's the best.

Hey Lukey and Payton!!
I am so jealous that you two get to go to Disney World! I haven't been there in such a long time. Tell mom and dad to take lots and lots of pictures and come show them off at school. Oh, and Luke, Mickey LOVES cheese! He'll be so happy for you to give him some. I'll miss you guys when you're not at school, but it'll only be for a little while. God will make sure of that. You're in the prayers of so many people (including me of course), that they will be answered, no questions about it. I'll see you guys soon. Tell Tigger I said hi, ok?
I LOVE YOU!!

Isaiah 43:19 - Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." Wow, God can do it, yes He Can!!!!
While waiting on our miracle for Luke, I have become aware of a 2 and 1/2 yr old little boy named Joshua in Kentucky with a brain tumor. Evidently, the family has not found a doctor there who is equipped to handle this child's situation. Please pray for open doors for them, spiritual strength and healing for Joshua. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful circle of support around us; the Holy Spirit, friends, family, co-workers, even strangers who have found out and are lifting us up in prayer. We are so aware that there are so many hurting families with all types of situations and we pray God will use each of us to bring support and comfort to others.

Amanda and Damien, Remember that just as the Lord told Hezekiah thru Isaiah in 2 Kings 20: 5, he also says to you. "I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you."

I originally received the link to Luke's page from Hazel Saul in Northdale. She was a neighbor of mine years ago. I didn't realize then that this was the Luke and Payton that goes to Little Wranglers with my Josh. My jaw dropped open when I read his name in Miss Becky's newsletter. My son loves Luke and we continually pray for him.

My name is Sandy and I am a friend of your Nana. Just wanted to let you know we will be thinking about you when you are in the hospital. Everything is going to be fine. When you get out of the hospital and get to feeling better be sure to have you Mommy and Daddy, Peyton and Nana too, bring you over to my house and you can ride my horse, Glory. He is the same horse that your Uncle JC rode when he was a little boy like you. Oh yes, your Nana rode him too. Ask her to tell you about that. Tell Mommy to keep me updated on your trip. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Hey Little Munchkins: Nanna is still at work and it's almost six o'clock. Just wanted you guys and mom and dad to know how wonderful everyone here is at my work. They're passing your picture, Lukey, all over the medical center and the hospital. If we just listed USF employees, their families, friends and churches that are praying and Tampa General Employees, their families, friends and churches that are praying and add them to the other hundreds and hundreds of people, families, friends and entire churches as well as people we don't even know that are praying we must surely know and believe in our heart of hearts that God hears and answers these prayers. The only way I know to express the love I've felt from everyone is to say that each person comes to us and ministers to us just as Jesus would do and we know He is doing this through all of these wonderful people. We are so loved and so blessed.

(7) In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. (8) Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us."

We are praying for Luke's surgery to be a success, and that Luke will have a speedy recovery. I look forward to seeing Luke & Payton riding their bikes soon. I pray that you have a good trip and that God brings you all home safely. If there is anything that you need, please don't hesitate to let us know how we can help.
With Love,

Hi Luke,
Wow,you sure are loved and all of our prayers will be answered. Acts 12:7 tells us how God rescued Peter while he was chained to two guards. This miraculous rescue shows us how to look at our own situations. God's power and strength is endless. This story shows us not to look at our situation from a human view, but from God's view. "We praise you, Lord, for all your glorious power, with music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts." Psalms 21:13. You are always in my prayers.

Dearest family,
You will be in our prayers. For your road trip you may want to purchase one of Kenneth Haggins' books. He is an awesome man that allows God to use him as God chooses. This man has been healed by God in so many ways. Reading about his testimony will strenghten your faith. Jeremiah 29:11 is my FAVORITE verse. I believe in that one verse for EVERYTHING in my life. I am sorry about what you are having to go through but God will NEVER give you more than you can handle. I am sure that He is using Luke as a testimony of His everlasting love and His AWESOME healing powers. He will give your family strength to go through this trial. GOD is good all the time, all the time God is GOOD. What comes to my mind, as I sit here writing you, is the song "For such a time as this."
God Bless,
The Villarreal Family

Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." I have faith that God will lift this burden from you and give you great rest!! Something that sounds so cliche, but that I cling to in my heart every day: God will never give us more than we can bear! It is evident that you are bearing this burden with such grace!! God WILL take you through this AND bless you for the journey!!
A little tidbit for Lukie and Payton~ (from the mouth of Jesus!) "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children." (Matt. 11:25) I know that the Kingdom of God is truly in your little hearts and on your little minds!! I praise God for that every day!! Jesus loves you two and so do I!!
All four of you: wrap your arms around yourself and squeeze really hard... you just gave yourself a big hug from me!!! All my love and prayers!

Hey you two little munchkins....Nanna had a great day with you today. I always learn so much from you both. Payton explained to me today why she believes she will lose a certain tooth first...Later we were playing games and Luke referred to Payton as Coach. He said I needed to listen to her. Of course, she agreed.
I see God so vividly in these little souls. God is alive and well and able and wanting to do the incredible and what seems impossible. We're expecting........Luke's miracle is on the way and we all consider this our miracle too. What an opportunity God has given all us to once again place priorities in our own lives, families and friends. God Bless You All. We pray for all of you each day too...
You make my heart smile.....Love Nanna

A Prayer for Luke and your family:
Dear God:
I dedicate my next morning jog, as a prayer, for the healing of LUKE. God I know that LUKE and his FAMILY do not understand your method of operation and why you chose such drastic measures to bring us closer to you, through them. Dear God I ask that you assist them in remembering that WE are part and parcel of YOU. And in YOU, and with YOU, there is no illness. Just the passage of time. Time that will bring meaning, peace and love to all who believe and trust in YOU. AMEN!

Hey Damian, Amanda, Payton & Luke -
Didnt want you all to think we've forgotten about you. Not a day passes that we dont stop and pray for Luke several times - Everywhere we go people ask for updates. We are now coping your updates on this website into email and send it out so everyone knows exactly how to pray.
Here's our bible verse for you for the day -
Heb. 13:5b - (Amplified bible)
*~For He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] NOT in any degree leave you helpless not forsake nor let [you] down (nor relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!] - *
We hope that's an encouragement today for you...(Thought about you as soon as I saw it!) - Lots of us here are lifting you all up daily ~please remember that!
Take care

Hey guys
I just wanted to send a quick note to tell you I am thinking about you and praying for you. I went to a bible study tonight called the Lighthouse. It's sponsored by one of the clubs at lee. We prayed for Luke tonight and the club is going to be praying for him as well. Also, one of the girls shared that her brother had a brain tumor and the Lord did a miracle and it's just gone now. It's amazing what God can do and how He encourages us through others. I can't wait until you all can encourage someone with the story of Luke's miracle! I also called my old youth pastor, Kevin Harris, and his church in Lawrenceville is praying for Luke. My roommate's parents pastor a very large church in Virginia and their church is praying for Luke too. We are all so excited to see the Lord at work in Luke's life. I think it's neat that Luke's surgery will be on Valentine's Day...what a perfect day to see the love of the Lord demonstrated in your lives as HE completes the work that HE has already began in Luke!! I love you a lot and am praying for you even now. Be blessed with His strength and peace.
In His Grip,
Melissa
P.S.**Lukey and Pay** Thanks for letting me borrow your Nana this weekend. We had a great time together on Saturday and Sunday. You two are very blessed to have such an awesome Nana. She loves you sooo much...she couldn't stop talking about how cool you two are! :)

Hi Amanda
Heading out to school. It will be a long night (6-10pm). Just got off my knees!!
Phillipians 4:6-9
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about EVERYTHING. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has DONE. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Love you Sis,

I am so proud of you both. You're letting the light of Jesus shine through you at this most difficult of all times and touching hundreds of lives everyday. Keep holding on children. Psalms 103:17 - But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children.

I have had the privilege of meeting your family at a Gillman party a while back. Dixie and I are co-workers and good friends. She has shared your story with me and I just wanted to let you know that we are all praying for you. God's grace is with you and Luke at this very difficult time.
If there is anything we at IG can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask. Prayer circles, support, fundraising, whatever just spread the word.
Just know that your on the minds of many. Best of luck and God Bless your family.

Dear DeAndrea's,
My cousin (Sally Ambrose) forwarded a link to this site asked me to pray for you. Reading your journal has made me realize how absolutely blessed we all are. You have two beautiful children and a faith that is unstoppable. You inspired me to have more myself. I will add you to my and my daughter's prayers (she's 14 mo. old) each night. I know that God will grant you another miracle - to continue to let the two little miracles you've already received (Lukey and Payton) smiling back at you for a long time to come. I know this because Luke's surgery is scheduled on Feb 14, the day of love. God bless you all.

I woke in the middle of the night with this verse beating in my head....
"You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows."
-Psalm 23:5
Do you realize how many lives your overflow is touching?
It is beautiful to see Christians so grounded in the Lord's love. The Lord's love for you is overflowing onto the hearts of many.
The Lord's annointing is evident.
I thank our God for being at your side in so many ways.
He is good..
and He is faithful.
I love you all and am still nagging Jesus.

Dear Luke and family, Just wanted to let you know that we are praying for you and I have faith in the Lord and Luke is going to be just fine. We are going to see a miracle. Luke, I know I haven't meet you but I feel like I have known you forever. I look at your pictures everyday and you are sooo cute. And I can tell by your pictures that you are a very sweet boy. And your sister is very pretty. You look real close in your picture. Family is very important. To mom and dad, I cant imagine having to go through this but you seem very courageous and brave and of course you couldn't go through this without the Lord. I pray the Lord gives you strength everyday and the wisdom and patience you need to go the next day. May God truly bless you.(And I know He will.) You have a wonderful brother we just love him here at church and my children just love him as well. I was able to meet your mother at the ladies retreat in Florida and she was a blessing to me and so many more. She is truly sent from God to this earth with a purpose. And she is meeting His expectations. I love her dearly. You have a wonderful family. I hope you have a wonderful day. We love you all. Love, Renee Ritchie

Dear Luke,
I hope you have had a wonderful fun filled day today and I know that you are very excited to see your Nanna and to have her back in Tampa. We love her very much here in Tennessee. We love your Uncle Jake as well. We gave him a party yesterday at church. He has been here with us a whole year. I have you and Payton a surprise when we see you in Memphis on Valentine's day. We had a very special prayer for you at church Sunday. I sent a little Angel in a red heart box that we annointed with oil like a prayer cloth home with your Nanna. We love all of you very much but God loves you all even more. We are believing for a true miracle
that you are healed. I can't wait to give you and payton your presents. Hold on cause your miracle is in the making
Much Love & Prayers, Pastor Tim & Teresa Ashley Matthew & Hannah

Your grace and ability to lean on God through this trial has been such an encouragement to many! God will not forsake His loved ones!!
Lukey, I have heard so many wonderful things about how brave you are from people who have been calling me to keep me informed about how you are doing!! Remember that Jesus loves YOU, Luke, and you can sing that song if you're ever scared (of anything!) and Jesus will hold your hand and never let you go!
Payton, Everyone I talk to who has seen you has told me what a GREAT job you have been doing helping Mommy and Daddy and Luke!! I am soooo proud of you!! You are growing up into a very amazing girl!!
I miss being at home and being able to see all of you at church on Sundays and Wednesdays, but you are all in my prayers even while I am up here!! All my love and prayers!!!

Hey Amanda
I just completed my term paper for class tomorrow night and as soon as my thoughts left my school work, I thought of you and your beautiful family. What a blessing you are to all of us.
As I lay down (I am bushed) I will be lifting you all in prayer and asking God for his protection over you all tonight as you rest in his care. I promise to STOP NOW and pray for Lukey (smile).
Love you!

hello luke i just wanted to email you and your family and let you know that we are praying for you all. there is a scripture that comes to my mind as I began to type this message. the scripture is Isaiah 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. God is an on time God yes He is. My husband and I are the Outreach Pastors of the Harbor of Faith Church of God where J.C. is the Youth pastor and Tim Ashley is the Senior Pastor. We just wanted to email you to let you know that we are praying for you every day.

Thank you Amanda for the web address to these pages. I can now follow Luke's struggle as he is battling this condition. I believe he will do well since he has God on his side. Prayer is powerful. It will be difficult for you and your family to watch the ordeals that are involved with a brain tumor, but believe it will work out for the good. I will pray for you as you watch over him with your caring love that you are strong and steadfast for his successful treatment. It is so hard to sit by with the helpless feeling to erase the doubts and question the outcomes. With God's love you will be able to squash all those emotions and pull through this time of crisis. Praying for you.
Love is the best medicine.

Our troop also helps out with a charity called Ronald McDonald house. They let families stay for hardly anything while your child is in the hospital. This would save you alot of worry and money.

You are truly amazing. I know the Lord has his hand on the two of you as well. To hear Dorothy talk of you this weekend has blessed me. I know the Lord will continue to give you strength daily. The rest of Luke's miracle is on the way. Keep holding on to His word! When there's nothing left to do but stand, Amanda, just stand on the word of the Lord, and His word says Luke has already been healed by His stripes. I love you two so much and you mean more to me than you could possible know. You are all in my thoughts and prayers daily.

And Lukey he is truly your Mountain Mover, Peace Speaker, Joy Giver, Chain Breaker, Way Maker, MIRACLE WORKER, Your Deliverer. I love you soooo much and I don't even know you. I didn't know if your Nanna told you, but I teach children's church with your Uncle Jake. And told those kids today to be praying for you and they were so excited they couldn't wait to pray. I hope you are feeling well. And I wanted you to know your Nanna can't wait to get back. I love you bunches. Stay strong!!!

To Each of You: Thank you for taking this journey with us. We're standing strong on the solid rock which is Jesus.
My daughter, Amanda, told Pastor Tim that we are just an ordinary family. However, we know that God can take the ordinary and do something extraordinary. Our prayer for each of you is that you know Jesus as your personal Saviour and that through our prayers together we can enter in to the throne room of Jesus with our petition for Luke, knowing that he has heard and answered our prayers.
Lukey: Nanna's getting excited about being back in Tampa tomorrow night. I really need some hugs and kisses. I miss you, Payton and all the other grandchildren....... All of you make make my heart smile...Nanna loves you and so does Jesus......Love.... Nanna

I am a friend of Katy yeager's and I also met you and Luke while eating sushi. I only spent a brief hour with Luke but i could definitely tell that he is a very special little boy and that he is loved so much. I pray for you guys everyday and I know the Lord is always in control and that everything happens for a reason. I found this quote and thought you might like it-

Let it be know that your faith in the Lord has been astounding and has been such a light to many others all around you. You're right, those doctors don't have any clue what prayer warriors we have down here in Florida and all over the country lifting up Luke. God will truly use you all and what he does in Luke for His glory.
We are continuing to lift you all up in prayer throughout the day. Please call me if you need anything.

Hey Luke, My name is Christopher Ritchie and I am in your uncle JC's Childrens Church and he is wonderful. I am praying for you and I hope you are better soon. If you ever come in to Chattanooga I would love to meet you and play with you. I like to play with trucks too. And maybe we can even watch some football together. Do you like dinosaurs because I do and I love to read about them and watch dinotopua. It's about people living with dinosaurs and it's really cool. I will write you tomorrow and I hope you have a super day. Your Friend, Christopher Ritchie

Good morning little Luke, Since I have heard about you my family and I have been praying for you. Lastnight I read some of you guestbook entries and they are truly amazing and so are you. God has amazing miracles waiting for you and your family. I believe He has wonderful and awsome expectations for this tumor and you my friend are a witness to all of us. You have already touch me and my family and you are going to be a wonderful testimony for the Lord after this and during this trial in your life. I would love to meet you and I know my boys would. I have three boys the ages 9,8 and 6 and you would have a blast with them. My oldest boy Christopher was able to see your pictures lastnight and I told him about you and he was deeply moved by your courage and he prayed for you. You my friend are a witness for God to so many of us. Some of us adults only wish to have your courage and bravery. I hope you have a wonderful day and have a good time playing football and playing with your trucks. You will be in my heart and on my mind today. The Lord will take care of you and never leave your side. He is an amazing God and he will not fail you. And he is there now with you with His loving and healing arms around you. Love, Renee Ritchie

Dear Damian,Amanda,Payton and Luke,
You don't know me and I am sorry that we have to meet under these circumstances. My son Jonathon, now 13 was diagnosed in March 2002 with Medulloblastoma.(a malignant brain tumor)
He did 6 weeks of radiation and is now half way through his 5th out of 8 cycles of chemo. My son came to me and told me that cancer was the best thing that ever happened to him, I asked him why and he said that He was closer to God than he ever thought he could be. It was at that point that I realized that my son was teaching me. I know longer ask why but am thankful that my family has been blessed with such an angel. Hang in there and know that out thoughts and prayers are with you.
Please feel free to visit Jonathon's website: www.caringbridge.org/in/jonathonbrown or email me personally.
Lots of Love and Prayers.

To Little Luke & his family,
I first want you to know that you are in ours prayers daily.
I haven't met you yet but I will. I am Pastor Tim's wife Teresa. You talked to me on Pastor Tim's phone while you were in Memphis. I believe you are a little uncle Jake. You are very handsome & I can't wait to meet you. You are so precious to your family & to everyone who knows you but you are more precious to Jesus. It is so hard sometimes to understand why we must go through all these hard things in life but I beileve it is to make us stronger christians & people, also to teach us so that we can use what we have been through to help others. Life isn't fair but God is a just God who will never leave us nor forsake us. God is a miracle working God & He is just waiting for the right time to work a miracle in you and your family's life. By the way you have a wonderful Nanny & Uncle Jake. We love them both very much and they are wonderful friends who we just don't know how we ever got along without them. God will be with you all & He will make a way when there seems to be no way.
If we can ever do anything for any of you we are here and we will be with you in Memphis. Much Love & Prayers

Luke, My prayers are with you and Dr Sanford. Lord I pray that you will guide Dr Sanford through this surgery. Father I pray for a complete and supernatural recovery. Your word tells us in Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there in the midst of them". Lord you can see all the prayers on this board for Luke and we know Lord that you hear our prayers and you will answer our prayers. Amen.

Luke,
I had a very good friend of mine (Bill)pray for you today. This man, I am conviced is truly a vessel of God. A year ago my wife had a tumor which the doctors tried to reduce with medication. The plan was to try to reduce the size of the tumor with drugs as much as possible then remove it. I was visiting Bill about a week before the operation and had not told him anything about my wifes condition. Out of the Blue he started talking about wonderful love of Jesus and how thru him he had seen turmors shrink, shoulders heal and other conditions simply get better. I almost fell out of my seat by the fact he had described my wifes condition and my dislocated shoulder. I then told him of my wifes condition and he prayed thru the mighty power of the Lord Jesus Christ for the tumor to shrink and go away. At this point the Doctors had tried to shrink the tumor with drugs for over six months with no success. In fact the tumor had gotton bigger and it was uncertain wether it could be removed without damaging her uterus and making it impossible for us to have any children. The week after Bill had prayed for her, the doctor performed the operation. The doctor came out after the procedure and told me that it was the most amazing thing she a had ever seem. She went on to say we treated the tumor for six months and it did nothing, then somehow this last week it had shrunk so much it was a very simple procedure to remove it. Praise God!! He later prayed for my shoulder which has given me great pain for over 8 years and it has been like new since then. Bill has prayed through the Mighty Power of Jesus Christ that the tumor in you be destroyed. That you should come thru this by the grace of our ever loveing, most giving, almighty, and most wonderful father. Luke I know you are going to be fine now. Hey, God made the world in six days how hard could this be for him. By the way we are having out first child next month and decided to name him Luke over six months ago. I will tell you the story about how God gave us that name when you are better SOON.
May God Bless you Luke and keep you, may his Divine Countenance shine upon you and make you whole. +++

Dear family in Christ, We are truly praying for you and your family. Your brother JC goes to our church in Georgia with Brother Tim and we just love him dearly. I'm praying for a healing and a miracle is about to happen with little Luke and you will truly be blessed. You and your family will be stronger because of this expreciance and the Lord is always by your side. He will never forsake you. Remember the story about the footprints in the sand, when it seems like He may not be there just remember He is carrying you and making your load lighter for you to bare. The Lord is amazing and can do all things which strenghtens you and your family. Sincerely, Renee and Toney Ritchie

When you are all better (which I feel in my heart and soul you will be), I would like to visit you and show you some fun pictures of the snow! You will probably be glad that you live in Florida! I will be sure to play in the snow this weekend and make special snow angels just for you! Best wishes to you and your entire family.

Amanda and Damian - We're so glad to hear you're back safely, and I think we're already seeing evidence that the Lord is hearing the thousands of prayers going up on Luke's behalf and working miracles as we speak. I can't tell you how many churches and individuals in Plant City have raised Luke up in prayer, but the word has spread quickly and many join us every day. People I barely know are calling to tell us of similar experiences, or to tell me to convey their thoughts and prayers to you. Your little man has brought out the best in everyone, and I think with each prayer going up, the sweet Lord is further untangling the strands of the tumor from those critical areas and that not only will you see the wonderful effects of faith, but also realize the many faces of love and support that you have around you.
Much love,
Dixie, Lee and boys

My name is Connie Blaize and I am Ann Thomas' sister(Family: Henry, Anthony, Jonathan, and Tore'). I wanted to take this moment to let you know that Luke is truly in my prayers. As a matter of fact, I just came in from Dance Ministry practice, and one of our Junior dancers(ages 8-12), lead us in a word of prayer. She prayed for Luke specifically and we were all in agreement for God's healing. Keep praying, keep believing, and God will answer.
God Bless you, Mom, Dad, Payton and Luke.

Hi Luke,
My name is Betsy and my friend, Mary Jo, told me you are a very special boy! I just want to say that I am so proud of you and all of the good reports I see about your visits to the doctors. I heard you were like Buzz Lightyear! I know what the machine is like that you were in and it is cool! I hope you will feel all better soon. I will say a special prayer to God to help you and your family. God loves to help people! Your Mommy and Daddy and your sister are very lucky to be your family! Keep smiling! You are a very sweet little boy! Betsy Watson

Lukey: Nanna, Uncle J.C. and Pastor Tim just got into Cleveland from being in Memphis, TN with you, mom, dad, aunt chelle, maka and pops.. You are probably home in Tampa by now sharing the good news about your surgery. Jesus loves you this I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to him belong, they are weak but HE is STRONG!!!!!! We're praying for Dr. Sanford and his team too. Can't wait to see you and Payton Monday when Nanna gets home. We'll play trucks again. You make my heart smile.....Love Nanna
God Bless each one for every prayer and email. They are keeping us all going......."Because HE Lives!!!!!!!

You are all in our prayers for a safe and successful surgery for Luke and I also pray for a miracle from God to heal your precious little boy. What beautiful children you have! I am sorry for all the pain he has endured so far but with the all the prayers that God is receiving about Luke I have faith He has His hands on him and your family. St Jude's is such an awesome place too and they are so wonderful to children and parents. I pray for you as Luke's parents to stay strong in your faith and your physical health for yourselves, Luke and Peyton. I know that Jesus has his arms wrapped tight around Luke and his hands on your shoulders.

Hey Amanda,
Thanks for the update. Those of us here in Tampa are waiting with open arms for your return. You continue to be in our prayers and we are spreading the word about Luke so that he is covered in prayer world wide. I believe in the power of prayer!! I printed Lukey's picture and hung it on the side of my cubicle (at work) for all to see. When people ask "who is the cutie?" I share his story and ask them to pray. What a priviledge!
We love you guys and keep you lifted. It is such an inspiration to read the messages on this site, I check it several times per day....
Love you Sis,

I recieved an email today from Ann @ Van Dyke. I just wanted you to know that I am praying for Luke and your whole family. I have an encouraging story for you about the power of prayer. I, myself, was diagnosed last year with a brain tumor after I had experienced periods of blacking out. I have a 3yro little girl and was going through a divorce and feared losing her.I did nothing but pray and turn to God for strength. The day that I was scheduled for my biopsy, they ordered another CAT scan. Come to find out I was misdiagnosed! Miracles really do happen and I am hoping for one for Luke too.

Unsinkable ships sink.
Unbreakable walls break.
Sometimes the things you think could never happen,
Happen just like that.
Unbendable steel bends,
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable.
I've learned top never underestimate the Impossible... (the chorus of a song by Joe Nichols)
Only God can handle the Impossible, and I have faith that HE WILL!!
Love and prayers,

Dear Amanda, Damian, and Lukey,
Just wanted you to know that all of you have been constantly in our thoughts and prayers the last few days. This website is testimony to the love and support you have all around you - how special you are to be loved by so many!
In Matthew's message tonight he said, "If He leads you to it, He'll get you through it." I thought immediately of you all. Take care of one another, be strong, and believe in the power of God, because His power is way beyond what we can even imagine, and I imagine He has big plans for our little Lukey! Our love is with you!

hi there handsome luke. a relative of yours told me that there was a special little boy i should stop in to see. so here i am, just wanting you and your family to know that you are thought of and deeply in my prayers. i want to share something with you. there was a time where i thought a prayer was just some words. two years ago i prayed so hard that my sister would make it through brain surgery and she did. i myself was just diagnoised with a very rare blood disease and knowing that my family and friends are keeping me in their prayers, has given me a lift and a better understanding of what life is all about. i found out that prayer doesn't hurt. so, my little friend, i will pray very very hard for you, to help give you a lift to recovery and a fulfilled life ahead....sealed with a hug from a friend in pa.

I know what it is to have a child and love that child and then have to accept what he has to endure in his little life.

Praying for you and your family. A friend at my school -Mandy Logan- sent the prayer request to all of us. We have a prayer team here who will be praying for you. I have passed this request along to others that I know are prayer warriors and are also praying. A short paraphrase of the Twenty -third psalm has helped me a great deal. Hope it helps you too:
The Lord is MY shepherd, I have everything that I need.
He gives me NEW strength.
Even if I go through the deepest darkness, Lord, I will not be afraid for YOU are with me.

In 1979, Jason's 3 year old cousin Jodi was diagnosed with lymphoma, it had ravaged her little body, even after treatment of chemo and cranial radiation, the doctors had little hope for her survival. She turned 26 last August. :) Maybe a little more inspiration for you.

I have been praying my favorite praise and worship song for you today, Luke, and for your family too.
Isaiah 43
When you pass through the fire, I'll go with you,
and the flames, they will not consume you.
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by name.
You are mine.
For I am the Lord, your God.
I am the Lord your God.
The Holy One of Israel, the Savior.
I am the Lord. (Do not Fear). I am the Lord.
When you pass through the waters, I'll go with you.
And the waves, they will not overcome you.
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you.
I have called you by name.
You are mine.
For I am the Lord, your God.
I am the Lord your God.
The Holy One of Israel, the Savior.
I am the Lord. Do not Fear. I am the Lord.

Payton and Luke~ I am so proud of how brave both of you are! You are both such loving and fun kids and I miss spending Wed. night dinners with you! Give Mommy and Daddy extra hugs and kisses, because they will surely need them! You are two little angels sent from heaven to make this world a better place! You are surrounded by love and prayers of all kinds!!
Mr. and Mrs. DeAndrea, I am amazed at your faith and the overwhelming response of your family and friends! You have two very amazing children who I'm sure you are very proud of! I have been blessed to have worked with them at church! You are a shining example in a dark world of fully placing your hope and trust in the Lord and you will be blessed beyond measure for that! Know that you have more support than you could know during this time of trial! All my love and prayers,

Dear Luke and Family,
From the time I heard of the doctor's prognosis, I have been rebuking any hold that Satan believes he has on little Luke's life. Luke, I know you are surrounded by those who love you dearly and you are blessed to have your Nanna and Uncle Jake who I know are "True Prayer Warriors." When doctor's thought that I was going to be paralyzed, everybody starting praying, and because of all the prayers lifted up, the Lord truly showed me MERCY and GRACE. I know that the Lord CAN and WILL turn this situation into a powerful testimony for you Luke. To the family, I want you to know that I am continuously praying for you and I want to leave you with a simple but powerful verse from Psalms.
Psalms 46:10 - "BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."

When we got the call last night about Luke our hearts just went out to your entire family. We have often talked about what a great family you are and how awesome it is that Damian is just so into his family. He is always talking so proudly of his children and wife. Although this is going to be an incredibly difficult time for you, I'm sure your love of family will help to bring you comfort. You are obviously very loved by many people. If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask. Our prayers are with you.

I am praying for you. I can relate to your situation, as our now three year old very healthy boy was diagnosed at 11 months with a rare (1 in 4 million, no one in his age group in the country) blood disorder. We were not given positive or hopeful news at the time, but they don't know God the way we do. It is my prayer that our son, Devin will be playing with your son this summer and both are well and completely free of disease. With oove, Yvonne Reid (Van Dyke Methodist Member/Choir)

Im so sorry about you little boy, Luke. I don't know you personally, just read your page. I am the mom of a special needs kid, Josiah. He is 11 now, and was born with a very rare and difficult heart defect. We have lived the horror of surgery, hospitals, and the constant fear of the worst case senerio (I can't even write the word). Thankfully, God has always been there for us, from the beginning. Even before Josiah was born, he began to prepare us and gave us promises for Josiah. One is Psalm 91: 14-16, starting with "because he loves me, says the Lord..." You can read about it on his web page http://www.geocities.com/momoffyve/index.html
Josiah has had four surgeries and 36+ hospitalizations, most of them between ages 1 and 5 years. If you need someone to talk to, you can email me. I am all ears, and to some degree, I understand alot of what you are going through. God has also promised to heal Josiah (his name means "The Lord heals". Blessings and prayers for you son.

My heart and my prayers go out to Luke and all those who have been touched and saddened by his illness. Let not your hearts be troubled and keep faith in the promise that God made to all those who believe in him. Prayer is a powerful thing and works miracles. If it is God's will, I pray Luke will be another one of His miracles. May you find the love and support of family and friends (both known and unknown) a comfort to you and may God's loving arms be wrapped around you and all your loved ones. God Bless You . . .

This message comes from the bottom of our hearts here at F145. We are all sharing your pain we see Luke's picture everday at his grandmom's desk and our hearts ache. He has become our little boy too. We all have the faith that was given to us by Jesus Christ that our little boy will overcome this and will be healed. We will pray and let the Lord know that this child he has given us needs to stay with us and grow to be a precious young man.
Our prayers not only goes out to Luke but also to his parents and family who need strength and faith to keep them strong and ready for whatever may come there way. Life is a mystery and why this is happening to a small child will remain a mystery, but only the Lord will find the answers.
Let the Lord carry you and guide you.Have faith and all will be answered.

Damian, I just wanted to share one of the verses we read last night. 2Cor12:9-10(NLT) ..."My gracious favor is all you need. My power works best in your weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may work through me. Since I know that it is all for Christ's good, I am quite content with my weaknesses and with insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. I pray that God's gracious favor will be poured into Luke's life. I pray for the power of Christ to work through you and your family. I pray that we all find strength in the Lord!

"Courage is contagious. When a brave person takes a stand, the spines of others are stiffened", by Billy Graham.
I pray that the good Lord help you up this hill, to give you the courage and strength to carry on. Don't look back to see what could have been or what if, but look up and continue forward, because right when we feel that we can't go on, there will always be another hand extended to help you along the way. And that is the good Lord's way of saying I am here for you, don't despair.
God bless.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and don't rely on your own understanding. In EVERYTHING you do acknowledge Him and He will direct your path (Proverbs 3:5-6).
The Thomas Family (Henry, Ann, Anthony, and Jonathan) are praying for your family. Your family has been an inspiration to us since day one at VanDyke. When we were hurting and needed smiles and support, Amanda and Damian you gave it to us freely. We Love You Very Much and are praying for you daily!
Amanda, still looking for that beautiful alto voice on Friday evenings (smile)...

Hey my little tough guy 'Luca' (Luke)..its your Uncle Steve. Just wanted you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you every moment of the day. You always have that special gift that just looking at you makes my heart smile and brightens my day. I know that with Gods help everything is going to be okay. I luv ya!
Love, Uncle Steve
I REFUSE TO BE DISCOURAGED
I refuse to be discouraged,
To be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted,
and here's the reason why...
I have a God who's mighty,
Who's sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who loves me,
and I am on His team.
He is all wise and powerful,
Jesus is His name;
Though everything is changeable,
My God remains the same.
My God knows all that's happening;
Beginning to the end,
His presence is my comfort,
He is my dearest friend.
When sickness comes to weaken me,
To bring my head down low,
I call upon my mighty God;
Into His arms I go.
When circumstances threaten
to rob me from my peace;
He draws me close unto His breast,
Where all my strivings cease.
And when my heart melts within me,
and weakness takes control;
He gathers me into His arms,
He soothes my heart and soul.
The great "I AM" is with me,
My life is in His hand,
The "Son of the Lord" is my hope,
It's in His strength I stand.
I refuse to be defeated,
My eyes are on my God;
He has promised to be with me,
as through this life I trod.
I'm looking past all my circumstances,
To Heaven's throne above;
My prayers have reached
the heart of God,
I'm resting in His love.
I give God thanks in everything,
My eyes are on His face;
The battle's His, the victory is mine;
He'll help me win the race.

Dear Luke and Payton,
This is all very confusing and scary, but I know you are both very brave. Give Mommy, Daddy and your grandparents lots of hugs and kisses because they really need them right now. The doctors and nurses will take good care of you Luke. Jesus will hold your hand Luke even though he is invisible. We hope all this hospital stuff will be over for you soon so you can get back to your cool toys and friends at home.

All day, the words of an old hymn were going through my mind, so I thought I'd share it with you. You know we're here if you need us.
God has not promised skies always blue
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through
God has not promised sun without rain
Clouds decked with rainbows, joy without pain
But God has promised, strength at our day
Rest when we labor, joy mixed with pain
Peace for our sorrows, help from above
Unfading kindness, undying love.
We love you guys, and you are in our constant thoughts and prayers.

Dear DeAndrea Family, my husband and I come into spiritual agreement with you and the household of God concerning Luke. We are awed and blessed by your beautiful loving children. We laid hands on his picture and took authority over the enemy! No weapon formed against Luke shall prosper in Jesus Name! We cover Luke with the blood of Jesus Christ. We command the tumor to cease and desist it's operation! Any and all blood vessels supplying nourishment to the tumor will be stopped and sealed. We call into being the things that are not! We speak wholeness and health to Luke's body from the tip of his head to the bottom of his toes. His body, brain, and spirit will continue to grow and develop acording to God's perfect plan. We cancel every trace and sign of this or any other tumor! If there are any family curses we break them in the name of Jesus! We speak peace and tranquility to each of you in Jesus name. We will believe the report of our Lord for we walk by faith and not by sight. Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Hebrews 4:14 . We have and will continue to lift these requests up to the Great Physician. with God's love, Kathy and Richard

Dear Damain and Amanda,
We've been through some tough times with our little daughter (almost 3), but it pales in comparison with a brain tumor. I just wanted to share a verse with you that has been an encouragement to us. Is. 43:2-3a,5a "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...Do not be afraid, for I am with you..." May God give you the strength and courage you will need over the next little while.

This is my prayer for each of you as you prepare to meet with the doctors in about 10 minutes. God's peace... which truly is beyond all comprehension, is guarding your hearts and your minds through Christ... as we all have made our request known to God for Luke.

Dear Amanda-
Although we have never met, you and your family are very important to me as you are so important to my little sister, Kelly O. Kelly has shared with me your situation and has told me time and again what a wonderful mother you are and what an adorable child Luke is! I am sure that you will provide great comfort to Luke. There is nothing that compares to the pain of a mother for her child and I pray that God keeps you strong. Kelly has asked me and everyone she knows to pray for your son. We all join you in believing for a complete, miraculous healing!

Amanda,
I haven't been able to get you and Luke off of my mind since speaking with Darla Thursday evening. I am so sorry to hear of this but in a weird way felt a peace come over me when I read about it on this website. Your faith is quite evident, and I, too, believe God can heal anything/one. He is the Alpha and Omega and nothing is impossible. With that being said, please know my family and my Sunday School class is praying for you and your family. Children are such a blessing from God. We will be praying for His will to be done.
Much love to your family! God bless!

Luke and Family,
While I was visiting a special friends Caringbridge site, I came across your site. I wanted to tell you that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We started our journey when in May 2001 my daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor at 17 months old. She is now three. Katelynn also has a CB site which you can get to by clicking on her name down below. Again our prayers are coming your way!

~I Believe in Miracles~
I believe in miracles and dreams that will come true.
I believe in tender moments and friendship, through and through.
I believe in stardust and moonbeams all aglow.
I believe there's magic and more there than we know.
I believe in reaching out and touching from the heart.
I believe that if we touch a gift we can impart.
I believe that if you cry your tears are not in vain.
And when you're sad and lonely, others know your pain.
I believe that when we laugh a sparkle starts to shine.
And I just know that spark will spread from more hearts than just mine.
I believe that hidden in the quiet of the night,
there's magic moths and gypsies a fairy and a sprite.
I believe that if you dance the dances of your heart,
that greater happiness will find a brand new way to start.
I believe the gifts you have are there for you to share
And when you give them from the heart,
the whole world knows you care
I believe that if you give, even just to one,
that gift will grow in magnitude before the day is done.
I believe that comfort comes from giving part of me.
And if I share with others, there's more for all to see.
I believe that love
is still the greatest gift of all
and when it's given from the heart
then not one of us will fall.

PayPay: I love you sooooooo much.. I know why Jesus gave you to mommy & daddy first. He knew mommy, daddy, Lukey and all of us would need your sweet smile around us to remind us of how much Jesus loves us all. You, Alexa & Geo are the Best Big Sisters and Big Brother Lukey could possibly have. Jesus gave us a wonderful family PayPay. We have terrific Aunts & Uncles, tons of cousins, neat grandparents and hundreds and hundreds of friends. We are so Blessed. You're such a wonderful helper. Jesus is proud of you and so are we. You make my heart smile.....Love Nanna

Children: We're praising God, IN ADVANCE, for Luke's healing. Jeremiah 29:11 - For I KNOW the PLANS I have for YOU, declares the Lord, PLANS to PROSPER you and NOT TO HARM YOU, PLANS to GIVE YOU HOPE and a FUTURE.
Satan, I speak to you, YOU HAVE NO HOLD ON LUKE'S LIFE, BODY, BRAIN, MIND, SPEECH, SIGHT, MOTOR SKILLS AND CERTAINLY NO HOLD ON HIS SPIRIT and NO HOLD ON MY CHILDREN... Because of the Blood of JESUS...We CANCEL any assignment that you thought you had toward Luke's health....
..............Our God is GREATER......!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By HIS STRIPES LUKE IS HEALED....Praise you Father..
Luke you are so special to Jesus that he chose your little life to touch the lives of so many people. Through this time we are all, once again, LEARNING TO LEAN ON JESUS. Luke, in the Bible in Isaiah 49:16..it says, I will not forget you. See, I have written your name (LUKE) on the palms of my hands...vs.23B..those who hope in me will not be disappointed. Children, our hope is in HIM! We WILL NOT be disappointed..
Luke, you (and all the other grandchildren) make Nanna's heart smile.....Love Nanna

Mandy & Damian,
I know that this is a very trying time in our family, however we must realize that this is to far out of our hands,& we must allow God to do his amazing work. Its incredible how when we go through things and the Lord is in our lives how he will continue to pour out his grace, mercy & peace over all of us. I want to tell you this before I go, there are 66 books in the bible, & there are hundreds of chapters and thousands of verses. & taking all of that into consideration the very middle of the bible, The very middle book,the very middle chapter, &the very middle verse is Psalm 118:8 it reads " It is better to put your trust in the Lord, than to place your confidence in man." Isn't awesome how God is right in the middle of our situation. Regardless of any report from any physician we must keep our trust in the Lord who is the great physician. I love both of you so much and even though i'm far away the same God who hears your prayers for Luke in Tampa Fl. is the same God that hears my prayers for Luke in Tennessee!! I love you & God Bless.

Amanda,
Luke and your family are in my prayers. When my little granddaughter was over yesterday I pulled up Luke's website and showed her the pictures...they are adorable. I asked Courtney to keep Luke in her prayers. She does a great job of praying and takes it very seriously. Courtney's brother, Michael is just a month younger than Luke, so I relate to the age. You might remember Courtney's mom, she's the one who brought the hairdresser station at the Van Dyke rummage sale last year. I talked with Kelly yesterday and she is going to be my contact person so that the Care Team will know what is going on and how we can help. You will have enough to be dealing with, without being bothered with my phone calls....but, please know that my phone is here anytime you want to call me directly. JESUS has a tight grip on Luke's little and has His mighty arms wrapped around Luke's whole family. GOD love and comfort you and bring you strenth and peace.
Love & Prayers,
Bonnie :)
