I am just amazed at how much the Lord knows us. It is truly incredible. As I have gone through this trial of losing Parker, I have become so much more aware of the Lord's hand in our lives. It has humbled me beyond what I thought was possible- or I admit, needed. Before this trial, I knew...
This past week has been surreal. Parker is now gone. He has moved onto a new and better life. The funeral service was beautiful. I am working on getting the audio file so that I can post it here and everyone will be able to listen to it. Our family has been surrounded by your support, and we...
Well, this has all just been so fast. Time just seems to speed by here at the hospital. My siblings and I got up here around 2, and the others just barely left to go home with my dad- I will stay the night here with my mom. My mind just seems to be in a jumbled mess...
Everyone- we need you help. Pray, fast, whatever you can do to plead to your God to beg for Parker's life. If he is not better by tomorrow, he will pass away. Please, please help! ...
Well, it is our first update of the day. Parker was on life-support the whole night, and at at the same place he was yesterday- which long story short, he is getting worse. The doctors say that the main issue is that while he is the same, he should be beating back the infections, viruses and bacteria by...
Well, let's be honest. If Parker had his way, he would rather that the blog's URL would be titled: "Superstudlyboygoingthroughsuperaweseomethingssupercool" or something like that. But, this is the wonderful part of this blog being done by his older sister, is that I get to decide on the name ;) It really is a representation of him though; he...
As I lay awake tonight, thinking about everything that has happened today, this song enters my mind. It gives me comfort and expresses my heart's sincerest desire. I hope you enjoy- "Bring Him Home" ...
As I think about what has happened today, all that I can say is that the Lord is so aware of our lives. Parker's story is riddled with small, tender mercies that have been granted to us. He went to the hospital at just the right time. If my parents had waited, and Parker had passed out at...
This has been a question that many people have asked. Well, I have some solutions for you! #1: Donate blood. Dead serious, this sounds kind of dorky and like, "But will he really benefit from it?" Trust me, he will. Asides from the numerous times today that his life has been saved today by little tender mercies given...
My parents dropped off Hailey at school, and then took Parker into InstaCare. At this time Parker's skin was covered with red and while blotches, and his dark circles had evolved into purple isosceles triangles that extended from his eye to the middle of his cheek. This 6'1" boy, who had roughly weighed 200 lbs (of muscle let...
Well, this is how our trial started. I saw Parker on Thursday, and he seemed his normal, chipper self. On Friday he was feeling a bit under the weather- had a headache, and not feeling his best. My mom guessed that it was the start of the flu- and wouldn't you know it? It was. On Sunday he...
Hey you guys, this is the blog I will put all of Parker's updates. This is Madison, his older sister (if you are wondering who will be contributing to this) and I will make sure that this is updated. I think this is probably a better route so that I am not spamming anyone's newsfeeds. If you guys...
