Today Parker saw his cardiologist, Dr. Williams, for his monthly visit. He gained another 6 ounces (yeah!!!) and all his vital signs were perfect. After answering our long list of questions and examining Parker, Dr. Williams said Parker is doing great. We will continue all of his medicines and oxygen as they are now. Parker will have another echocardiogram at his next visit--hopefully there will be some positive changes. He is also going to see a developmental specialist to see if he needs any physical therapy since he is quite a bit behind most 14 month olds (he is not crawling or walking yet, just rolling) and he will have another swallowing study to see if he is still aspirating. Even though we really don't know if any of the medicines are working, Jason and I are optimistic--Parker is eating better than ever and finally gaining weight, he is sleeping much better at night (thank goodness :), and he gets stronger everyday. We are so grateful for Parker. He has gone through so much, but he is so brave. We hope and pray that he continues to do well!!!
