UPDATE: 4-30 afternoon
Kalyn and Parker both have STREP.
Parker & Kalyn are doing better and Kay feels better having a diagnosis.
They had some brother/sister bonding time today and watched movies together!
KEEP PRAYING for everyone!


Pray for Parker & Kay!

I received the following email from Kay at 2am...

Parker woke me up at 1:15am with 104 temp plus you are suppose to add 1 degree and he had thrown up in his bed. Hasn't thrown up since. I immediately got ice packs and meds in him. Waited and took temp again 102. Out of Motrin in the house so I just got back from Walgreen's buying that plus a new thermometer, in case ours wasn't working properly. Fever now reads 100.9. Called the PICU at Baptist to ask how soon I could give the Motrin. You know I'm scared if I called them but I knew they would be awake and alert!

I am sick at my stomach to say the least!!

WEEK 15

Today Parker was invited to KOCO, Channel 5 as OBI presented Rick with a plaque for his Save A Life challenge. The blood drive was successful and raised a lot of awareness in the community. If you could have seen Parker's face! He was looking at every piece of equipment and everything going on in the studio absorbing it all in his brain for later use!! Rick took us into the newsroom and gave Parker a look at what goes on to get prepared for the newscast. They did show it on the 5 & 6 newscasts tonight so we will have another DVD to watch over and over!

Parker will be going to school tomorrow (4/27) for the land run. He met with his group to decorate the wagon this afternoon. Should be fun!

We made a visit to the doctor Monday morning because he was complaining of a scratchy throat. I was thinking allergies but didn't want to take any chances! I'm leaving it up to the doctors to tell me what medicines to buy or put him on. The doctor confirmed it was allergies!

Kay!

UPDATE! Week 13

Parker saw the respiratory doctor on Thursday. His oxygen level is maintaining at a normal rate. Xray still shows scar tissue in the lungs but that was to be expected. The doctor indicated we could ease him back into school within the next few weeks so we are hoping this wet, cold weather will change to dry, warmer weather!! When I asked the doctor if Parker was to get a respiratory infection at this point could his body fight it and he said NO. So that is why we are wanting warmer weather to get rid of some germs/bugs that are lingering around, or at least give me a little peace of mind when sending him back to school!! Our return visit to the doctor is not for 6 weeks so that is a good sign!

Thanks again to everyone for all your support and prayers during Parker's illness. We love you.....Kay
