Luke T.
Maryland
Biography
Luke was first dx with PKU at 4 days old. AT about 15
months old Luke started to break bones. During all of this one of his older
brothers (Skeeter who suffered strange symptoms for years) was finally dx with
Chiari malformation and went through three brain surgeries back to back. When
Luke was two, he was also dx it a Chiari malformation (since Luke's dx his older
sister Deanna and brother Russell have had Chiari decompression surgeries and
syrinx related surgery, and his sister Maddie was just recently dx with Chiari
as well). Luke suffers daily in pain due to the diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos
syndrome and osteoporosis due to lack of collagen manufacturing. He also suffers
headaches and hands/feet numbness. His PKU is fairly controlled with diet. This
past weekend Luke spent in hospital again due to
unknown illness but was discovered his bowels and his appendix are placed
differently and that his manly parts didnt descend properly and we are seeing
yet another surgeon soon. This is a very condensed version as Mama is very tired
and I just want to say thank you so much for considering my beautiful boy for a
quilt! Hugs Pam
