Hey Everyone...
        Parker had his second appointment to Cranial Technologies yesterday in Charlotte and he did great!  At this appointment they put the piece of hosiery around his head and he didn't even cry...he actually laughed at them.  The specialist said that was a first because usually babies will either scream or try to pull it off and Parker just took it all in and enjoyed the moment!  He's such a good baby!  Once they put it around his head they sat him on the DSI machine, which took the 360 degree pictures, and they will actually send those images to their lab to create the custom band.  I have some really cool pictures that they let me take during the procedure and as soon as I get those downloaded we will share those with you. We will go back to Charlotte on the 29th of this month to get his band!  We are so ready to get this for Parker and can't wait to see great results!   Today we spent the morning at the neurologist for Parker's EEG.  I forgot our camera so Willis took pictures with our cell phone and we will get those posted as soon as we can.  This took about 2 hours from start to finish.  We had to keep him happy through it all and again .... Parker was so good.  They stuck about 20 or more wires on his head and then wrapped it all up with gause.  He looked so cute!  We will go Monday to speak with the neurologist about the results and they did mention today that an MRI may be needed for further information.  Monday will be a really big day for us so please be praying for us.  The first appointment we have on Monday is with the orthopedic doctor for Parker's leg.  As I had mentioned in the last post, Parker will not apply hardly any pressure to his left leg, it turns out to the side and when we are holding him it turns bright reddish purple and turns cold.  More than likely this is due to a poor circulation problem, especially if one of his joints isn't in the right place.  After that we will go to the opthomologist for Parker's right eye.  Hopefully they will tell us that his eye jumping is only coming from the cranial issues and once that is corrected then his eye will be fine....not sure of this though.  Then our last appointment will be with the neurlogist again for him to read the results of the EEG.  So I will let you all know of where we are in everything as soon as we get some definitive answers!  I hope and pray that all of our small mildstones will be accomplished with simple fixes!  Please continue to remember us in your prayers...for we still have some miles to go before we sleep! 
Love in Christ...
