Number Two Hundred

Yes. As the title says this is the 200th article I have written for this blog since I started it. It is hard to think that we have gone through this for as long as we have. It was last March when we found out exactly what was wrong with Parker and it has been quite the journey since. Parker has now been at home for pretty much as long as he was in the hospital and at the moment I think only of Parker as a healthy normal ten month old little boy. I know there will be a time in the close future that we will be spending quite a bit of time with Parker in the hospital in Italy, but I will leave the future in the future.

I had mentioned it a couple of weeks ago, that I wanted to have an article that incorporated past articles to act as a summary of everything that Parker has gone through so I figured that today would be a good day for that. This will be great for those of you who are new to the blog and can be a memory jerker for those of you who have been here from the beginning.

Happy readings.

Wow, Parker! What a trip down memory lane - I forgot (as many do, I suppose!) how tiny you were (like all babies, hee hee!) as a newborn and how much you have grown into a big, strong, boy!

You are one lucky boy to have such wonderful parents (but how could they be anything else to such a wonderful boy like you?)!

See you soon,
Elizabeth & Calder
