We're Home!

Hey Everybody...
We wanted to let you all know that we are home safe!  Parker had a really good night last night.  He went to sleep around 8:30 and slept all through the night.  I had been up for 39 hours straight with only 2 hours of interrupted sleep due to the alarms and nurses coming in and out of his room.  I have alot of sleep to catch up on for sure.  We got up this morning around 6:54am and Parker was ready to eat!  He still is not eating as much as we were before his seizure but the doctors have reassured us that it will pick up over the next few days.  Of course this will add more appointments to our books again, due to the follow up appointments with our specialists and his pediatrician.  But I have never been more thankful to run up and down the road for our little man.  You know.... when things like this happen, you learn all over again how precious life itself truly is.  You learn to turn the T.V. off, cut your cell phones off and play puzzles in the floor again.  Taking time out with your children is so extremely important.  Our world came to a sudden stop the day before yesterday, and I can't express enough to you how precious time is.  You leave home everyday taking full advantage that you will surely see each of those you leave each morning as soon as you return home that night.  And that guarentee just isn't there for any of us.....not even our children.  We sometimes consider ourselves as invinsible.  We morn the ones that are unfortunate and look at our family almost expecting that it will never happen to us.  Isn't that amazing!  That we could be so arrogant to think that we have everything under control and God has nothing to do with it?  When in fact He knows each and every one of our days that we will leave this earth to be in His presence!   I begged God not to take Parker two days ago.  And we know how fortunate we are to have him back home with us.  Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and we will keep you updated as we go!
Love In Christ
