Hello everyone.
It is a happy day here for our family as our little grandson Lucas has been accepted into the drug trial in Montreal that offers hope of slowing down the muscle wasting that is part of duchenne muscular dystrophy that he was diagnosed with 4 years ago. I know many of you have been praying for him and I want to say a big THANK YOU to all who remembered him in prayer.
Lucas and his Mama will be flying from the Island(P.E.I.) to Montreal every week for a year. Lucas will get his treatments and be closely monitored during the trial. We pray that this drug will help Lucas and the other boys in the trials around the world. We pray the drug will pass the safety standards and improve the boys quality of life..

We are thankful so many people around the world remembered Lucas and his family in prayer and hope that you will continue to pray for them.
It was wonderful to hear that after Lucas completed his walk test he ran to his mother and jumped into his Mama's arms and smothered her in kisses-he was so proud of himself! This dear child has been blessed with a sunny personality and enjoys his life to the fullest.
I hope you too are counting your blessings!
Thank you again and enjoy your weekend.

p.s. My daughter and I are organizing a Christmas House tour for DMD on Dec. 10th for anyone local that would like to attend. Our house and little garden cottage will be on the tour as well as three other beautiful homes. I will be decorating early this year so I will soon be sharing that with you soon-you know I love the Christmas season!

Carolyn,
This is wonderful! I am new to your blog so I didn't know. I will certainly pray for Lucas and your family.
Best wishes,

Oh, Carolyn, I am thrilled to hear this news! Prayer is the greatest form of communication and I'm so happy to hear it has worked for Lucas! God bless him and all the other little ones afflicted by DMD. I will continue to pray for him and his whole family.
I look forward to your Christmas House Tour.
Blessings,

Many years ago back in Ukraine, my parents had friends whose son had the same disease. But back then there was no hope for him. That's why I am especially happy to hear this wonderful news for Lucas. He will be in my prayers.
Oh, Carolyn! Praise the Lord! I am so happy for you all! How comforting and what a blessing to see Him at work in the people we're praying for! I will continue to pray for sweet little Lucas, sweetie. ♥

Wonderful news!
True blessings, Carolyn! Midge and I are so happy to hear your good news tonight. Thank you for taking the time to keep us posted on Lucas' progress.
I will be sure to take lots of pics at "A Christmas Tea for Lucas" on Dec. 11 so that you can show Jen. I hope it will help in some small way with all that's ahead in the next year.
We really wish we could be there for your "Homes for the Holidays" tour. I imagine it will be an absolutely beautiful fundraiser - I can already smell the cinnamon and feel the warmth of the faerie lights on the trees...And, I know, too, that it will be appreciated for certain. We missed your garden tour in August by mere hours.
Hope your weekend is lovely. In the meantime, we will keep you, Lucas and Jen and family in our prayers...
Hugs,
