My new friend Andrew Luck

I think I might try to start any new conversations this week with, "So my new friend Andrew Luck came to see us today..."  Seriously!  Today I was walking through the lobby at Riley and who should walk right past me but Andrew Luck!  He comes to Riley to visit kids sometimes and I decided to walk up and introduce myself.  He ended up coming up to our room, signed a jersey for Caleb (his idea!!) and became my new favorite person.  What an amazingly humble, kind guy.  He tried to give Caleb "knucks", but Caleb stared at him, wide-eyed, probably because he was so tall.  It was an awesome visit.  He and Daniel joked around and I tried my best to act normal but instead felt like a starstruck idiot.  Anyways, it was a super cool experience!

  5. We continue to keep Caleb before the throne. Saw grandpa Mike again today and let him know we are praying for all. This is so nice of Andrew Luck. It makes me like him even more.

  6. Andrew Luck had big shoes to fill when he took over Peyton's Place, both on and off the field. Looks like he's doing a great job off the field, too. Thank you for sharing this, and keeping us up-to-date on Caleb's plight. All of you are in our prayers.

  8. I know how you feel. When my daughter was 3 and in the hospital several Colts players, managers and Jim Irsay visited with the children at Methodist Hospital at Christmas time. There is even a picture in their 2003 year book of Hunter Smith playing his guitar and she is in it. I became a fan then and have remained one ever since. I think their visit excited her brothers that were visiting more than it did for her. She was also lucky to meet several of the Pacer players as well. These visits I believe uplift the hearts and spirits of the parents as well which is much needed during our time or uncertainty. Prayer continues for your family.
