Rain Rain Go Away....Come Again Another Day!!!

Hey Everybody...
Oh my Goodness....God could not have picked a worse day to bring the rain!  I know that God never had children but if he would have had any clue how hard it was to get a baby out of a car with 30 lbs of bags stuck to my back maybe he could have picked a different day!  The funny thing is...every time we have to be at the hospital it is either raining or flooding!  So next time I will have us all pray for beautiful weather!!!  I wanted to let you know that Parker did great with his MR's!  The doctor said that they did the entire work up of Parkers' brain and as long as we didn't hear anything from our neurologist right away...then to rest easy because they only call back with emergent information.  It was pouring down rain when we got to the hospital!  It just so happened that I had on rolled up jeans and flip flops so enduring the five inch puddles completely helped! Although once I hit the door of the children's hospital, my umbrella obviously had holes because I was soaked!!! Anyway...we have an appointment on Friday for our results so be looking for an update then.  We did get our braces for our legs and feet Thursday and they are cute!  He looks like the bionic baby when he walks...but we have been told that this is supposed to help tremendously, so we are hopeful!  We will start wearing them after therapy on Tuesday so be thinking about Sir Parker...because he doesn't like wearing them at first!!! Thanks for all the prayers!
Love In Christ,

Paker was so excited about this MRI that he tried to run away...and laughed the entire time...then just decided to ignore me and watch the fish!

Guess what they had when we walked though the door? You can only imagine when they called his name to go back that this "train table" went with us!

The holding room always makes me nervous...but they got a cosmetic overhaul down there since we were there last! Pretty bad that we even know that!!!

Oh to sleep like this....it takes a little bit for Parker to wake up after the MRI...but I think he took full advantage of it this time!

We always have to prove that we can eat before we leave so once Parker got his crackers..."amy the monkey" needed some too!

Parker and his monkey "amy" sat and enjoyed graham crackers when he woke up...I'm not sure who enjoyed them more!!!

Keep us in your Prayers this morning!!!

Hey Everybody....
Just wanted to let you all know that we will be at the children's hospital this morning.  Parker is scheduled to have his MRI, MRA and MRV, and of course that means being sedated yet again!  This unfortunately has become an old hat for us.  Everytime is much harder than his last, because he of course is older and more aware.   He has his work up for IV sedation at 9:00am and then we will go down hopefully right on schedule...just please pray that we will because the last few times we have done this they have run terribly behind...and Parker has not had anything to eat since 9:00 last night.  He also didn't take a bottle for me last night which always leaves knots in my stomach.  Seventy-two hours before any episode Parker has had, he wouldn't take a bottle, so that made me a little nervous last night. We did go yesterday for his AFO's !!! These are the custom molds for his legs and feet.  So we will be stylin and profilin' sportin' our new braces.  Parker fell to pieces during the entire appointment and it broke my heart.  He looked up at me and said "I wanna doe home mommy" "Doe Bye Bye mommy".....you know me I was lookin' for the closest door!!!  Anyway...we are still undergoing 2 therapies a week and he is making continued progress in that so....just remember us this morning please in your quiet times or in the stressful drive to work when your stuck in traffic...send up a prayer for us. 
Love In Christ...
