Lucas update

Friday September 28, 2007

Categories: Family
I'm really touched and encouraged by all the prayers and expressions of good wishes for our son Lucas and his medical difficulties of late. They remind me that we really are, in our own way, a community here on this...

Very good indeed, and hope it stays that way.

At least he listens to Beatrix Potter; my nephew was downright OBSESSED with the Herbie The Love Bug movies at or around that age, especially Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo. (I think all these years later, I can still quote that entire movie from memory -- God help me :-)).

But good luck and continuing postive wishes.

Well, if you can , make the trek to the English Lakes District and to Beatrix Potter's house. Good Luck

Delighted that your son is recovering and will continue to pray for his full recovery.

Read your sons Robinson Caruso to hear some interesting sentence structures coming back at you!

Good news, I will continue to pray!

All my sons are/were obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine. So instead of being angry, everyone is always said to be "very cross", they sometimes shout odd things like "bust my buffers!", and they sing with English accents. When my oldest was about 3 he could do a great English accent, between hearing so much of the Thomas tapes and watching BBC documentaries with my husband, hehe.

No sign of the Big Bad Thing is excellent news, and Lucas and the rest of the Dreher clan will certainly remain in my prayers.

And learning other dialects is a great thing for kids -- growing up on British sitcoms and Star Trek: TNG, I can do a London accent that fools most native Brits :)

Spidey! My childhood was very immersed in the world of Marvel Comics. Nice smile for the day.

Thanks Rod for keeping us posted, my continued prayers for diagnosis and recovery.

Plenty of prayers have been with your family, Rod. And Spider-Man Adventures should be a great comic book for Lucas...I'm a Spidey fan myself.
