Our Miracle Boy
Well we just saw our little man. He looks amazing. I don't even know how to begin to write or say how I'm feeling right now. It is a mixture of excited to potentially go home, nervous to go home and have a imuno suppressed child, at peace, thankful, and scared. But most of all greatful that our son has been giving a second chance. The Lord has watched over Parker and our family through these last four months. We will be always thankful and happy with so many things. The people that we've met, the surgeons, doctors, residents, nurses, child life, all kinds of theripists, and all the rest of everyone that helped and were a part of Parkers care. We just saw him go past on the bed and he looked so good. His oxygen was sitting at 100%, and he has never been that high, ever. He was in surgury for 10 and 3/4 hours (3:45am-2:30pm) the time we dropped him off to the time we saw him roll by us into the PICU. Surgery went really well, he's pink in his hands, feet, and face. I know that this is just the start of some different problems and transplant is never a cure but he's here, he will be able to grow up and play like a "normal" boy. I'm so glad that he's had this opportunity. Parker you are our little big miracle.

Wow, that is so good! We're so happy for your family.
ReplyDeleteI wonder when the doctor's sleep if they're traveling to get the heart then come back and take 11 hours for surgery... it's pretty amazing what they can do.

I've been running back and forth watching for more updates. I am soooo excited for you. Something normal is just around the corner.I am so very grateful for the true gospel, prayers are the best insurance in this life! We willnever stop praying for your family. My oldest son had a stroke and I could feel that the Holy Ghost was there guiding me along. My son is recouperating. How blessed we are for all we have. We love you all always.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is amazingly wonderful. Having a heart baby ourselves we know what comes with it and how tough times can be and the emotions we all go through is such a trial, but the reward is grand, the joy they bring to our hearts is so gratifying.
ReplyDeleteGod is great and he knows who he has chosen to be the parents of such little angels. They are angels that are blessing to our lives.
can't wait to hear more updates on his recovery and how he will thrive.
