Just wanted to give an update on our sweet parker. I havent posted one in a while, because thankfully there hasnt been much to report. But this morning, I was thinking that yes, there is MUCH to report. And that is the power of Gods healing hand. Parker is doing absolutely incredible. He is a very happy baby and is slowly making progress. This week he turned 16 months old! I cant believe that 16 months have already passed! Physically, Parker is about on a 7 month old level, so yes, he is quite delayed, but coming from the trauma that his little brain endured from his brain bleed at a week old, a 7 month old is great progress for him! Hes trying very hard to learn to crawl right now. He has so much motivation within his little body....we are just in awe of how bad he wants to learn! Most of all, Parker is happy! When we embarked on this journey and heard all that wouldnt happen in Parkers life, we prayed for miracles and prayed for Parkers happiness. Our number one concern was that he have quality of life...and our God has definitely provided that! It is such an honor being this little guys mommy! I honestly say that my life has forever been changed by having Parker and being blessed by this experience. A day has not passed that at some point throughout the day I dont reflect on where we have been and where we are now. My thoughts are daily in the NICU with the incredible doctors and nurses we had. I vividly remember conversations held with those people, special moments staring at parker, and talks that I had with God while inside those NICU walls. Some days the thoughts take me to sad times, but I always end those thoughts with a smile and with thanks because of what we have been blessed with. Small things no longer matter. Ive seen tough days, therefore I have learned that there isnt much in life to sweat. As long as our family and loved ones are happy and healthy, the Lord is blessing us...and that is all that matters in life! Today Im thankful, as with everyday, as Im reflecting in my minute of quite time. I ask that you continue to please pray for Parker. He may be doing great in the present day, but he still has a really long road ahead of him! It will probably be a few years yet until he is completely caught up, but thats okay. We will just continue to pray him through and praise the Lord for his life. Please join us in doing that. Also please join us in prayer for his little respiratory system. He is weak right now and is still fighting some asthma issues. He also has testicular surgery scheduled for some issues in a week and a half. However, if he isnt well, he cant have the surgery. We appreciate your love and prayers! And to all you who have always prayed us through, we hope you had a wonderful Christmas and were able to reflect on the true meaning of the celebration! #prayforparker #miraclebaby #thankful #continuedreflections #mommysblessing #foreverchanged #answeredprayers Graham Nash
