Seizures....


We were due to go home today... Not much time to type... but for the update... Parker is back in the ICU with Seizures and the doctors' are trying to figure out what is going on with him...
A loading dose of phenylbarbitol has been started and they have kept him on ativan to sedate him. He has continued to have cluster seizures throughtout the day..


Our journey has only just begun....
Oh don't mind his little spots on his face... They are from the EEG performed... They have left little burns on his face and the he has an IV in his little head... but he seems content with it today...

MRI today and a swallow study for dessert.. hope to go home sooon...

Well an MRI was completed today to rule out brain damage... According to the pulmonologist... Park's little brain is perfect... He shoud. be ok. He is not seeing an residual in his breathing except that he does not move air very well. He feels this is a result of his RSV infection in December. Because sedation was used for the MRI, Parker is being kept one more night in the hospital. He has been projectile vomitting ever since his sedation so a swallow study was ordered... He is refluxing clear into his thoracic cavity... so now we have to thicken his bottles... As long as our little man holds dinner down tonight and his bottle tomorrow... We will be heading home before lunch tomorrow... Please continue with prayers....

Parker is Stable....

Parker is doing much better today... He is off oxygen and we are being transferred from the PICU to the regular Peds unit... He is interacting like his normal self... smiling and cooing... I feel like my baby is back. Dr. Chowdary said that he will be going home on an Apnea monitor so that we can avoid any apnea or low heart rate events in the future... I will keep you all updated on what is happening... We pray to go home tomorrow...

911 Emergency....

Please Pray... at 12:38 p.m. this afternoon, I found Parker blue and lifeless in bed. He was not breathing and I could not find his heartrate... I began crying... I didn't know what to do. I started CPR and called my mom... She told me to call 911... TRAA was here in a matter of minutes and we were rushed to the hospital. He is now stable and on a nasal canula. A Ct Scan showed not abnormalities. An MRI will be performed when he is stable to rule out brain damage... I will keep you updated...
