About the event
Lukas is the youngest of 2 other siblings, Abigail and Jensen. Lukas was born at 35 weeks with Down Syndrome and at only 3 days old, he had his first surgery to repair duodenal atresia. Then at 8 weeks old, he had his second surgery place a g tube. Then finally, Lukas had open heart surgery at 7 months old to repair two holes in his heart. Lukas and his family still face many struggles everyday, whether it be physical, financial, emotional challenges but they've learned how to make each other happy and lean on each other when needed and treasure every single moment. Jessi (Lukas' Mom) had to quit her job and she is now a stay-at-home mom because of Lukas' various doctors appointments, physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. Lukas see's 7 specialists still to this day.
The Hogenhoff Family are all taking it day by day and they work so hard to be sure everyone feels equally loved, dispite some of the extra attention that Lukas requires everyday. However, they wouldn't change it for the world and they would continue to pick this same life over and over and over and over again.
