A Quick Update....

Hey Everybody...
It has been over a month since I gave you any news on Parker...and a lot of that is because we are waiting too.  Our MRI date should be in this week.  It looks like we will be headed back to the Children's Hospital for a follow-up MRI in 2-3 weeks.  I'm not really looking foward to that.  I went to Charlotte last Friday and Parker's head circumference has grown 11mm since we started the DOC band.  Since he is doing so well with his head growth, we may only need to be in the band for 8 more weeks.  So that is great news!  And boy does Parker's head look better! Willis and I can tell a difference with each passing day.  We do have one prayer request though...Parker is having a strange episode when he is in a sitting position.  It started about a month ago and it doesn't happen all the time, but his body will go flush all over and his hands and feet will sweat heavily and he will start to shake all over and cry out.  As soon as we pick him up out of that position, everything returns to normal.  So our pediatrician is going to speak with the cardiologist tomorrow about this and also contact a specialist at MUSC that targets the nervous system to see if between the two we can get some answers.  As soon as we get some more info ourselves we will update you all.  Thanks for your continued support and prayers and enjoy all of the pics of our little man Parker.

  1. Great news about the helment! How exciting! We'll definitely be praying they figure out what's going on with Parker's spells while he's sitting up. He has the best docs...they'll figure it out! :)

    Big heart hugs and lots of prayers!
