Our Perfect Little Baby Boy

I wanted to attempt to fill everyone in on what is going on with our little Cooper of late...I'm attaching an email that T sent out the other day. It pretty much sums up the situation with Cooper. Please read and I'll update at the end...

i guess some of you know already thursday (march 1st) was a bad day in the lusk home. if you don't, let me give you the run down quickly. thursday, we went to the neurologist at the request of our pediatrician. the visit was horrible to say the least. she basically told us cooper was going to be mentally handicapped, and even went so far as to say it could shorten his life span. all of this came as a great surprise to us because, in the past couple of weeks, he has taken great leaps in his development. (there is plenty of back story here that i am not adding so as to not bore you.) there is still a great deal of processing going on around here at what we heard at that visit yesterday. today (friday) we had our four month check up at the doctor and a physical therapy visit and a cardiologist appointment (at the request of the neurologist). the pediatrician agreed with the neurologist's assessments. the physical therapist was a little shocked being that she has seen the improvements i mentioned earlier and the cardiologist told us there is no problem what so ever with his heart - thank the Lord! so not a lot has changed, but there is a very unusual (Jesus) peace in this house today. rebecca and i are confident that the Lord has made no mistakes with cooper. we are also sure that, though they are educated, the doctors did not form cooper in rebecca's womb and they don't know the number of hairs on his head as the bible tells us God does. all in all there have been many tears and i suspect there will be more. but there has been one prayer rebecca and i have prayed from the day we found out she was pregnant to this day - that God would be glorified in the life of this little man. that prayer has not changed, the only thing that we have added is that God would be glorified in our response to all of this.
we are praying for a miracle and i ask that you would join us in that. thank you all for your prayers.

abide, T.

We have no new news - it's just a waiting game for now. He will have an EEG on his brain activity on the 15th and an MRI on the 14th. Then we will go back to the Neurologist on the 16th. He gave a lot of blood for tests last Thursday (March 1st) and it will take a couple of weeks for everything to come back. It is absolutely not for sure that something is "wrong" with Cooper. A drastic "prognosis" was made the other day, but we are confident and sure that the Lord is bigger than all of this and we know, that no matter where he chooses to take this situation, Cooper will be a testimony of his grace and his goodness. We know that he will astound us in his life - as he already has. I really just want the doctor's, our family, our friends, and anyone who hears of this to be amazed. We want there to be no other explanation for his life and his healing other than the Lord.

Again, we ask that you would pray with us and for our perfect little baby boy...for his healing and for God's glory and will.

Thank you all again. We love you and cherish you deeply.
