Pray for Parker
This story is near and dear to my heart as the mother Julia is like a sister to me. Parker was born at 9:01 this morning so far he has not needed the ECMO machine which would breath for him! He has come so far already but we need all the prayers we can get. I will post updates as I get them.
If everyone takes just two minutes to pray it could make all the difference in the world!!
Many of you already know that Dustin and I are expecting our first baby boy on July 29th. I don't normally ask for help or anything but this time I am. Parker is going to need all the prayers he can get to help him make it through the 1st couple weeks of life. I know many of you have and will continue to pray and I will always be grateful for everyone of you that do so. I am just asking for everyone to take a minute of their time whether it be while you are at home or at work or just driving on July 29th to say a prayer that he has the strength to beat the odds and come home to us.

** For those who don't know us and have been asking what is wrong with Parker He was diagnosed with Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_diaphragmatic_hernia. His diaphragm didn't form all the way allowing his intestines, liver, stomach etc to move up to his chest squishing his heart and lungs not allowing his lungs to grow like they should. The odds of a baby with CDH surviving is 50/50. He has proven he is a fighter already by making it through the 3 surgery's that I have had while pregnant **

It breaks my heart to tell you all that Parker passed away this afternoon. The doctors later told Julia that he never really had a chance. His lungs were just not developed enough... As moms we all know the idea of losing a child is horrific. Their nightmares have come true. Please pray for the family as they go through this rough time.

God has tiny angels,
Flying in his heaven,
Looking over you and me
Now it has little parker,
A tiny Angel has received his wings.
he's watching over his family,
And his especially.
he’s his tiny angel wings,
Around their hearts so very gently.
he see's his loving family,
with so much love in their eye’s,
he holds his tiny angel heart,
And knows, true love never dies
