The touch of grass

Today we were able to take Parker outside. It was the first time that he has touched grass or anything natural in a long time. Always being in the hospital and only being allowed to go on walks when a nurse is with us limits the opportunities. Today was a beautiful day, so we were able to find a patch of grass and an electrical plug close by to plug Parker's Berlin Heart in.



He was not impressed. It took him a while to get used to it, but he came around and started to enjoy himself.





This little boy loves his blankets, he has about 6 flanelettes that I have made and it doesnt matter which one it is, he loves them all equally. It is so cute, he stuffs them in his mouth just like Kaden did when he was small and goes to town. He gets so excited when he sees them he has a little happy freak out!!

    Thinking of you now, as always, and pray that all goes well with Parker's new heart. He looks so good in the pictures...hard to belief the trials he and you have had. You guys are an amazing example of what you can do when you have to! We are all stronger than we think and you show that so very well. Take care...Lorie and Mac
