Parker


I know that I mentioned above a little about my nephew Parker. We got a call from my sister-in-law that Parker had been sick the past few days. She took him to the Dr. and they began treating him. A day later she noticed the veins in his head were very pronounced. She was concerned so she took him back to the doctor. He wasn't sure, but said that it might be medication, being sick, etc. So, a few days later he was already scheduled for a well baby visit and she took him in to be checked.

They noticed (as they had the month before) that his head was a little large. So, they measured and it was off the chart...literally. The doctor also noted that his head growth was not following a curve but a straight line off the page. He decided to contact some other pediatricians in Raleigh (the best) and they all decided to send him to get an MRI. They will have to put him under, but they are already discussing the things they need to do while he is under so that they don't have to do it more than once.


Please pray for our family. It could be just the beautiful way God made Parker, but it could be other things too. We don't know. So, we ask for your prayers as they wait for his appointment, for the doctors to have much wisdom, for the MRI to be conclusive so that Parker doesn't have to do any more tests, and that God would be completely glorified in all areas of this.


Parker is an active little guy who is smiling all the time! He is even ahead in his development which is a great thing! Thanks for joining us in prayer and we will update you as we find out more.
