Hanging in there

Just a brief update. Parker is still off of the ventilator, so things are ok. Currently his blood gases are marginal. He does wonderfully when he is sleeping or sucking on his pacifier. Unfortunately, he whimpers and cries a lot which lets the air forced into his nose escape through his mouth.

No word on the ID consult yet, they are still running a few tests and would like to see another spinal tap done. We'll know more tomorrow.

Lindsey did get to hold him again today which makes three times since last Sunday. It still makes her a little nervous but it's worth the anxiety.

  2. The kid's come a long way!! Tell him to hang in there, the best is yet to come!! It's good to see everybody smile. When you're happy Parker knows it, and that can only help. Bill
