About me

Location	Louisville, KY, United States
Introduction	In the Spring of 1997, Luke was born eight weeks prematurely due to a very rare chromosome abnormality called Partial Trisomy Six. He has severe mental retardation and has very few expressive language skills. He is able to say a few words like "mama", "dada", and "oy yoy" (Tori), and use sign language to ask for some things. Thankfully, he seems to understand much more than he is able to communicate to us. At age three, Luke was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He was given three and 1/2 years of intense chemotherapy. We are elated that Luke remains leukemia-free and is considered a survivor. Luke loves his fuvvy, his drums, Elmo, watching golf on tv, music, bouncy balls, sweets and the beach.
