Today has been a very long and draining day. We still don't have any news from Parker's MRI- and we're both exhausted so this entry will be rather short. We've spent most of the day and night at the hospital. Parker made improvements today- getting the IV out of his belly button and moving to a bassinet (from a radiator bed). However he is not eating as much as they would like so he had to have a NG tube inserted (this is a line that goes in his nose directly to his stomach). This will allow them to supplement his nutrition- whatever breast milk he does not take by nursing or through a bottle will be supplemented. The sooner he gets his strength up, the sooner we can come home!
Thanks again for all of your kind words and support. Jeff and I are truly amazed at how many people care. We are grateful to have such wonderful family and friends in our life! Thank you keeping us positive and encouraged. It is because of YOU that our load has been made a little lighter.
Happy 1st week Parker! We're so blessed to have you!
heres hoping the results today are good ones...and heres hoping baby parker comes home soon, and comes home healthy.
ReplyDeleteLots of prayers going up for Parker and all in the family. Stay strong, I can't wait to see you come back with great pictures of Parker at home.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeff, Jenn, Spencer and Parker! All of us here in the EP Lab are praying for you guys. Parker is so beautiful. We are holding the faith that all of this will work out and Parker will be home soon! Can't wait to hear stories of the two boys driving each other (and you two, of course)crazy!! Lots of love,
