Parker's Journey Tonight

Tonight is the big night. All of the hard work that everyone put into Parker's Journey are going to see the benefit of the their generosity and labour. We are really looking forward to tonight. There have been so many people that populate this web site and we are really excited to meet many of you. If you are unsure of how to get there take a look at the link to the La Primevera where you can locate a map to the event. The Antipasto bar will be open from 6 - 7:15p, the Martini Bar opens at 6:30p and Dinner will begin at 7:30p.

Parker had a trip to Sick Kid's this morning for his ADAGEN injection and for his immunology clinic. For those of you who are unsure of what immunology clinic is, that is when he sees one of the staff immunologist and they inspect him and answer any questions we have. There are two immunologists on staff in addition to the doctor in charge of immunology at Sick Kid's.

Clinic went extremely well. Parker weighed in at 8.705 kg, for those of you who speak pounds and ounces that is 19 lbs and 2.4 ounces. Yes, Parker broke the 19 pound barrier. I still remember writing about Parker reaching 10 pounds and he will double that in a few weeks. Parker is currently at the 60th percentile for his weight. What a strong and thriving little boy.

I created a new play area for Parker in his room. We used to have a small blanket that was given to us as a gift that we would use to cover the carpet, but now I have washable rubber tiles the letters of the alphabet. We set it up yesterday and the little guy absolutely loves it.

Another new addition to Parker's life is his new ducky bathtub that his Nana bought him. He had his first bath in it last night and he was very pleased with his new tub. You can even squeeze the beak and it quacks.

We look forward to seeing everyone tonight. It is going to be a wonderful event to honour our son.
