The real reason I am posting is to ask for prayers for our buddy Luke.  If you recall, his bone marrow transfusion went well (at the end of Feb), but he's been fighting off infections since.  I just found out he has RSV, which is very dangerous for someone in his condition.  He's stable, but in the ICU and getting breathing assistance. 

Cross training:  6 miles, + abs and some lazy pushups.

Tracy - So sorry about Luke fighting infections and RSV. I hope he pulls through okay. I'm also sorry to hear about Eli and hope it is not a bad break. Take care - Adele

Thanks, Adele, for your thoughts. Eli's doing okay. He broke it last night in a real fluke fall. It is broken in two places and still in a splint. He gets his cast sometime this week.

I was stressed with that today and feeling sorry for myself because my husband is out of town--and then I found out about Luke. It puts things in perspective. Luke has had rough going for almost 2 years. He is a determined little guy.

I'm so sorry that Luke is struggling. He's definitely in my prayers.

It sounds like you've been having a rough time. But you're right about Luke putting things in perspective. Hugs to you.

I second the hugs! ((Tracy))
