Parker's MRI Update

Hey Everybody...
    We have met with our specialist in regards to Parker's MRI.... and it was as we thought.  The fluid is still there....and is significantly larger than what the ultrasound showed.  We have been told by Dr. Morgan (Parker's neurologist) that the two can not be compared.  It has been explained to us that an "ultrasound" of the brain is like a polaroid camera image and the "MRI" is like a NIKON D-5000.....so.....we have to do this all over again.  I am not looking forward to the propofol injection again but Dr. Morgan has to see if the fluid is growing or if it is unchanging.  If in fact it is growing then we will be looking at brain surgery to shunt Parker.  The shunt will be permanent and will run from the posterior right ventricle to his stomach.  So this is our claim as parents.... We are in constant prayer that God himself, in all of HIS glory will prove these doctors wrong!  Willis and I are here to carry out whatever plans He has for Parker.... but in the meantime....we are in no way, shape or form going to claim this fluid growth in Parker's brain!  The devil is a LIAR...AMEN?!  So we are going to ask you all to please be very specific in your prayer time with God about the fluid on Parker's brain.  We praise God in all of our storms and we have turned our eyes upon Jesus and laid Parker at the foot of Christ again for yet another miracle.   We know full well that in Christ Jesus alone all our HOPE is found and He is our ROCK and our STRENGTH!  What a priviledge and honor it is to place our child at the feet of our Father, knowing that not one hair on his head will be overlooked.  His plan is perfect!   Our family loves you God and we thank you for our storms!  There is a song by Hillsong that is playing right now as you are reading this called "Healer" and the words say...  "You hold my every moment....You calm my raging Seas....You walk with me through fire....And HEAL all my disease.....I trust in YOU....I trust in YOU....I BELIEVE you're my HEALER...I BELIEVE you are all I need.... I Believe You're my portion.... I Believe you're more than enough for me..... Jesus you're all I need....For NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU....YOU HOLD MY WORLD IN YOUR HANDS!!!!"   How awesome is that!  This song says it all.  We love you all so much and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking time out of your busy schedules to pray for our little man Parker!  Words can not even describe the love we hold for all of you in our hearts.  Also before I close we did meet with the ENT Friday and Parker's Veins will always be dilated and have a blueness to his skin...."SO THE DR. says"....but we all know who is in total control of that don't we?!  I'm just relaying the message.   He let us know that he could not assure us that it will ever go away, and that the possibility is there, but he would not say either way. Basically, once dilated, always dilated.  But....we believe in miracles!  And that's all that matters.  Thank you all again for praying for us and we will keep you updated on the appointment for our next MRI.
Love In Christ...
