We have a New Room!!!

Hey Everybody...
      Parker has done really well today!  This morning when Willis and I got to the PCICU we were able to feed him a bottle.  I was actually able to rock Parker for the first time today. Something so small seemed so big. The things we take for granted!!  It was so nice to feel him next to me. Parker still weighs 10.0 lbs, so he will remain on his 27 calorie diet. He took about 2 oz., in 20 minutes, which is great for Parker!  They removed his cath, as well as both IV's that were on either side of his groin today.  I know that he has to feel so much better with them gone.  Parker came off of his oxygen today as well.  They will leave his pace maker wires in for now, and may have us go home with them.  Parker's lungs are still very wet sounding, so we are continuing on his Lasiks.  The doctor that listened to Parker this morning said that he heard a murmur, so they will be listening really close to that tomorrow and following up with another ECHO to make sure nothing has been missed before returning home.  Parker is still turning blue, and they have not quite figured out why just yet.  Please say a prayer that the murmur he heard this morning will be nothing, as well as him turning blue!! While feeding him tonight he has started to sweat again...but hopefully that is strictly from the Lasiks.  We can not even begin to think about Parker having to endure this twice. Parker is also officially on Seven C again, which is a step down room from the PCICU.  It's alot like a NICU.  He is being monitored very closely.  All in all, Parker looks wonderful and actually started smiling again today!!  He has definitely proved to us this week that he is a strong little man!!!  Thank you all for your continued support...we wouldn't make it without your prayers! 
Love In Christ,
The Crafts
