Sad News

Hello everyone, I have some very sad news to report. On Valentine's day my friend Ben Randall (http://randallfam.livejournal.com/) lost his battle with his heart problems. He will be remembered as the first friend I ever made. Ben and his parents were and continue to be an inspiration to many people including myself and my Mom and Dad. Ben will be dearly missed by many people. Here are a few pictures of Ben and I together.

A lot of other things have happened since my last post. Mom went through the in-vitro fertilization process in an attempt to make me an older brother. Grandpa Larson came and stayed for a week and a half during the procedure to help take care of me. He became very skilled at doing my breathing treatments, feeding me, and keeping me entertained.

Unfortunately the in-vitro process did not work. We found out this afternoon that Mommy is not pregnant. Mom and Dad have to decide where to go from here. I'll let everyone know when they know what their next move is.

In happier news, I am learning to play the piano. Well, not really learning anything, just pounding on the keys for now, but it sure is fun.

I am also starting swimming lessons tonight at the middle school in Dundee. I'll let you know how that goes soon. That's all for now, I'll leave you with a cute close-up of me.

Hi to all my family and friends. I hope everyone is well. I have been doing great. My pulmonary function tests went off without a hitch. Everything looked good and I will continue to have one every six months so my doctors can keep an eye on my lungs.

I have taken a liking to my moms "trashy mags" as Daddy call them. They're fun to rip apart and scatter all over the house.

I also got my first hair cut on Jan 26th. Mommy and Daddy took me to a fun place called Carnival Cuts in Novi, Michigan. They have lots of cool things for me to do and look at while I am getting my new do. Here I am in my hot rod.

The lady let me drive it until she put the cape on and then I got nervous. I did ok but I have to admit I did cry quite a bit. Once it was over I got a certificate and my curls in an envelope to take home.

And when I was all done we took a group photo. Mommy and Daddy think I look soooo handsome.

I have also figured out how I can look out the window.

Mommy goes to the doctor this Tuesday for her in vitro fertilization procedure (big words for a little man huh?). Then on Sunday she will get 2 embryos put back. We will be patiently waiting for Feb 19th. This is when she will have her pregnancy test to determine if the procedure worked. I hope so because I desperately want to be a big brother.

This is all for now. I will keep you posted.

Love and hugs to all,

Luke

P.S. GO PATRIOTS!!!
