Luke has the BEST personality. He is hilarious. He loves playing with his toys and getting surprises. He is obsessed with ALL toys. Especially Cars, trucks, and anything to do with Disney.
Luke was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 18 months old, back in January of 2016.He was acting really different, very whiny and clingy. Then he stopped wanting to eat, and then he started bruising really easily.
Luke has been through 14 months of VERY intense chemotherapy. Then during those 14 months, he got a blood clot which had to be blasted out with surgery and I had to give him 2 blood thinner shots a day for a whole year. He also had his port placement surgery, bone marrow aspirations, and more than 20 spinal taps with chemo. My husband and I were out of work for the first 6 months of treatment. I had to eventually quit my full-time job teaching. Now that Luke is in maintenance therapy, he only has to go to the hospital once a month for a chemo infusion and takes oral chemo at home daily.
We have had to isolate ourselves so much because of the dangers of Luke getting sick, so we feel so out of touch with everyone that was able to be “normal” for the past 2 years, while we have literally fought for our son’s life.
