Summer 2007
Another EEG, taken in July, showed no epileptic attacks, although we can't be sure whether attacks do occur. Especially that, upon waking up, Luukas' head and eyes make some involuntary movements. A Polish doctor warned us against Lukas' shutting from the world, so we've been helping Lukas to pay attention to people. Luukas has been the happiest ever in recent months, he laughs more, shouts happily and is lively. He turns from his sides to his back (it seems that he prefers to lie on his back) and is able to grab his feet without us helping him. He takes a look at people's faces sometimes and grabs toys. He sits better (still needs help) but his physiotherapist is certain that he will sit by himself. Luukas has started to chew and bite food, and he claps his hands and claps them a lot :) He loves water, he enjoys our Saturday morning swimming and sauna very much. Luukas walks in shallow water when we are holding him, but due to his CP he walks on his toes.
Someone has written a comment that only science will help Luukas. Well, science, yes, but not only. See the posts below :) Oh, and we ARE using scientific methods to help Luukas.
To all those who pray. Please continue. Thank you!

That is great that he is getting better at sitting up. I pray every day for Luukas and the other children. I agree that science will help Luukas but prayer is important too.
Thanks for posting this great news about Luukas! He has achieved so much and he continues to progress. Babies can be really strong... I was checking periodically your web site to know more about him. I wrote a comment to you sometime ago, as my son, also due to GBS had meningitis and sepsis when he was born. I was really angry at that time -that was 5 years ago- I could not understand what such a horrible thing could happen to my baby.Now I can see that it has been an experience that changed our lives for ever, we started to see everything with different eyes and we are so grateful to have him with us. I also agree that science and doctors help and save our children, but I do not know what would happen to me or to my son, without our faith. And I had to find it, because when all this happened I felt abandoned by god, I have to admit. But faith was our support. And our son, is a miracle.
