When Luke was admitted to Texas Children's on Saturday, June 5th, we did not know what to expect. We were asked to go to the ER, which we did. Luke was not walking. Also, he hadn't been eating for quite some time. Cousin Alvin came with us to the hospital. Thankachen Uncle and Kochumol Aunty was with us at the house as we left for the hospital. Saturday morning, Dr. Amaya, our point-person at the hospital, told us that the radiology findings indicated suspected bone cancer or leukemia or lymphoma or infiltrate. He called later to tell us to go to the ER to get worked up by the heme/onc fellow, and then be admitted. We called our parents. Papa and Mummy came down from Chicago Saturday itself, and our parents came from Philadelphia the next morning. Cousin Christine joined us in the ER.
The first night of his stay, Joyce, Alvin, and Christine stayed with Luke. I can't thing of a better group of people to be with Luke this night. These 3 have a blessed gift of making Luke feel happy and comfortable.
Later that evening, Luke enjoyed some fries (at bedtime):
