Parker's Promise

Sweet angelic little boy. He continues to make progress everyday which is amazing! Today in speech his therapist said "get the train" and he immediately reached over and grabbed the train. We were both so shocked. Then she said "put it on the track" and he tried but couldn't reach, so he pulled it closer to pool qhim. He didn't have quite the coordination to get it exactly on the track but he understood! When we first got the MRI data, the one thing several doctors mentioned ...was language. He lost pretty much the entire left side of his brain, including the area that controls language. They said hopefully he lost expressive instead of receptive language so he can understand what you say. He absolutely understood us today. I'm excited to see what else he can do.

He did not throw up today. Yesterday he seemed nauseated all day. He would go to eat and act hungry, but within a few bites his stomach was upset. Today they started him on Zofran. Good stuff that zofran. I have so much sympathy for him from my morning sickness days. He seemed to feel better this evening than yesterday.
And I got a date tonight! Darrell brought Thai takeout tonight. We took Parker in the stroller and ate on the patio table outside, put him to bed, went for a run and snuggled and watched a show. It's been a great day!
Have I mentioned how much I love this little boy!
