I know this is Allix and Lukes Blog, but Allix does not get on the computer too often, and I feel that I need to write every once and a while to keep this blog going, and keep people who love and care for them informed. I feel warm in my heart, and immediately I feel the tears and emotion coming on. I cannot believe it has been almost 8 months since the day of their accident. They are doing well, and are trying so hard to live normal lives. Allix and Luke had a great Thanksgiving, but their Christmas was amazing. There were many angels that were sent to rescue her and Luke in so many ways. These people have no idea. They had an amazing Christmas. allix told me she would stare at her tree at nightime. it was decorated in Bright pink Bulbs, and white lights. It was absolutely beautiful, and donated to her. She said she would stare at it at night, and just stare, because of how beautiful it was, and because of all the many blessings she received by the grace of heavenly father working through his angels on earth. Luke and Allix had numerous presents. Allix was able to shop, wrap, and just enjoy Christmas, plus she was taken care of in so many other ways. Allix wants to post pictures, but is not quite ready yet. This coming Friday ( 25th Feb2011) there is a film crew, Director, and all the works for a segment that will be on cable about Allix and Lukes story. It is abouth them, and the saftey and dangers of sprinkling systems around the US. We are hoping to take this to NBC today. It will have Mitch Jensen who is representing her, her mom and dad, a couple specialists on the subject, and Allix. I have no clue when it will air, but I will definately post the info. Allix wants this story out before another family is injured or even worse, killed. She said she would go though it all over again ( minus Luke ) if She could get this out to the public everywhere. Her hair is growing back, slowly but surely. They look so good, but underneath their Jobst, there is still much healing. Luke still itches constantly. He has gotten so good at it. He uses his wrists adn goes so fast on his arms. Poor guy itches all night long. He still is so sore on joints and where the skin graphs are. Allix has all the same items, but she has more medical issues to deal with. She has had procedures done because since the accident her intestines have not worked right. She is seeing a specialist for this. We know when our bodies are tramatized, certain things loose oxygen. She is still always exhausted, sick to her stomache, and itches and itches also. They have so many different colors of Jobst. Luke is now to the point, that he gets upset when we want to take them off. He feels like they are a part of him. I feel like the mad mother hen at times, because I see people stare at him or Allix, and I cant help but feel bitter. I totally feel for anyone who has a dissability, because I know how they feel when people stare at their loved ones. I always make an effort not to stare now a days. I also look everyone in the eye with a dissability, or someone who is different. Allix has said to me that they never look her in the eye when she has her mask on. Luke is getting huge, and Allix is still as beautiful as ever. They go out alot more, and Allix has such a good attitude. It is truly amazing. She says little things now and then to complain, but they are normal small things. There is no feeling sorry for herself, or anything. Life is different, but she has said numerous times she is glad to be a live. They have a new puppy named Kaya. Luke still to this day says I want Buddy, and I miss Buddy. He is a very smart boy. He still has nightmares, and is afraid of things he was not of before all this. He says Shari, this is our new house no burns, or fire. I say yes no more burns. He says oh good. Still to this day after eight months this is a routine of his. It is amazing the things we experience in our lives. It is also important what we take from these experiences, and what we learn. Allixs life has changed dramatically, but she is a strong girl. her main goal is to get Luke better, and let him have a normal life. Another goal of hers is to get the news out to everyone. This will change history. I will try to get some current pictures of Allix and Luke to post. They are doing so good..
