Heading back to Stanford......

Luke with friends on his 17th birthday!

As the family scurries around making last minute preparations for another trip to Stanford, I thought we at least owed everyone a post-December update on Luke.
He is doing FANTASTIC! His lungs are working great, he has put on most of the weight he lost while at Stanford and his social life has been as busy as ever.
As the Director of Basketball Operations for the Ripon High School Boys Varsity Basketball team, he helped lead them to the Sac-Joaquin Section Division-IV quarterfinal playoffs. Additionally, just last week he was the "McManager" of the Ripon High McBallers Dodge Ball team and he helped lead his team to a finals victory! He had a fun birthday party in February and also just attended the Sadie Hawkins dance last week with Brooke Bigelow (they both supported the "Super Hero" theme in their Batman shirts).
You'll never hear the Brown family say that last December was easy, but we will tell you that we were blessed. The blessings were not only seen in the speed and simplicity of Luke's recovery, but in the love and support that we received, and continue to receive from family and friends.

Thank you all.

Love,

KAAL
