Day 31, 2-17-7

Parker had a very special visitor yesterday, Rick Mitchell! And Chris Lee was there filming. Parker follows Chris during storm season because he is out chasing the storms. He had a smile on his face the entire time!
Rick and Channel 5 next Friday (2/23) at 5:00 pm will be doing a segment on Believe in Oklahoma about the Oklahoma Blood Institute and the importance of donating blood and credit donations to save lives. Part of his visit with Parker and Parker's interest in Rick will be part of the story. So don't forget to watch to see our guy, Parker!

Now for the update.

He is still progressing just fine. Thought we had a little scare during the night the nurse came in and said his levels were too low and we need to get him coughing to improve his breathing. After several minutes and trying different things we decided to change his finger monitor (whatever it is called) to see if that was the problem. Just as the nurse was changing it I got a good look at his face and noticed that his oxygen tube was on his cheek not in his nose! Next time I will check the tube first! Needless to say, we slept in a little this morning.

Next week sometime we should have a plan for the next steps that we need to take. Whether that means we can come straight home or we will have to go to rehab for a little while. The pulmonologist wants to do a CT scan middle of the week to see how we are progressing.

Thanks for all you support and prayers. Love, Kay
