Parker's Promise

I also want to be sure I record the blessings, miracles and many many tender mercies. Because we were traveling and visiting such good friends when this happened, we were able to leave so quickly to the ER without a worrying at all about our other kids. Darrell and I were able to be together through all of this. Thank you Alison Kitchen Gainer and Morgan Gainer. We can not thank you enough. That peace of mind was amazing. Also, my nephew has had many many seizures throughout... his life, so when it happened I recognized it for what it was, did not panic, but KNEW we needed to take him to the ER. Without the seizure, we would not have known how serious his minor fall was. He only fell off the bench- 2.5 feet. I am sure we were also nudged by the Spirit to RUN for that 911 call. I am thankful for the 911 dispatch who was so calm and stayed on the phone with us the whole way giving us directions and traffic recommendations- the advantage of a small town. I am greatful for the kind and competent person ell of the tiny Goleta ER. They were certainly not equipped for that serious of an injury for so little a person, but they worked vigilantly doing everything they could with the equipment they had, all the while calling all of the major hospitals within life flight to find a pediatric neurosurgeon in town this holiday weekend. They recognized the seriousness and knew he needed surgery immediately. Thank you. They were so kind and the nurses and doctors kept telling us they we're praying for him. They even called yesterday to check up on him.
