I'm going to start by posting all of the updates from Heather since this whole thing started. As she continues to send them out, I will post those as well. I will also put pictures of Lukas on here so you can all see his shinning face!

As some of you know, and some don't, Lukas was admitted to Cooks Children's Hospital in Ft. Worth yesterday. Kurt and I took him to the ER by our house yesterday morning after some vision problems, really bad allergies and asthma (that we thought were all related problems). The doctors in the ER ordered X-rays and a CT scan to see what was causing the vision problems and if it was a sinus infection or allergies just reeking havoc. Well the CT scan came back and showed a golf ball size mass just behind his eyes, in the brain area, so we were sent to the children's hospital so the specialists could look at him. We are now in room 3104 of the Oncology department. The doctors have determined that we are possibly dealing with a tumor. He is scheduled for an MRI sometime today and that will tell us better what we are dealing with and what we need to do. We will also be meeting with the Neurologist and Neurosurgeon sometime after the MRI to get a plan together. Lukas is on steroids right now to reduce the swelling of the tumor or mass (or whatever it is).
That is all I know right now. If you feel the need to come up, you are certainly welcome to. Visiting hours are from 9am-9pm. Once we know what we are dealing with, I'll email everyone back again to keep you updated. For now the absolute best thing you can do for us is to pray for Lukas. He's really restless right now since he has an IV and both legs are covered in ID bracelets. He can't eat or drink anything until his MRI and hasn't been able to since 5am. So he really needs your prayers to help him make it through the next few hours.
Thank you to everyone that has already come up and that are already praying for Lukas. We appreciate it more than you will ever know.
Love,
Heather and Kurt
