Good Afternoon...
Parker is officially breathing on his own!!! When Willis and I got to the hospital this morning, the nurse came out and asked that we not see Parker at that time. They have been doing their best to get him to breathe on his own by removing the ventilator. So the nurses would not allow Willis and I to see Parker all day today. Parker's nurses tried two different times to remove it and were unsuccessful. But on their third try they called us at 4:00 this afternoon to let us know that they were very successful in removing the ventilator. AND...Parker looks like himself today. Almost all of the swelling is gone from his face. His abdomen is still puffy and soft, not hard like it was last night. All of his meds are working great to help his tolerance for pain. The team of doctors just met around Parker's bed, and let us know that they will be starting him on some feeds tonight. Please pray that it goes well. They also let us know that he would more than likely go to a step down room possibly Sunday, as long as everything goes as planned. Parker looks like a new baby, and Willis and I could not be happier. I will post some pics of him and a video as soon as we get back to the Ronald McDonald house. You won't believe your eyes!!!
Love In Christ,
