Follow Parker, a severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) little boy in his battle against adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency. Parker is currently participating in a Gene Therapy trial in Italy.
It is so hard to believe that January 15th marked our precious little boy's third birthday. This birthday was extremely special for Parker because it was the first time that he was able to have his cousins and two friends here to celebrate with him. As usual, daddy did a fantastic job decorating the cake. Parker really wanted a WALL-E cake and I don't think anyone else could have made him a more magnificent cake. It truly was amazing and Parker was so proud of it. We have spent the past couple of days enjoying his new gifts which has made time pass much more quickly. We hope you enjoy the following pictures as much as we do.
This site is maintained by Parker's father. The blog is meant for family and friends, so that they may be kept up-to-date with Parker's battle with ADA and so that as many people as possible may become aware of this disease and the benefits of gene therapy research.
In addition, we will use this site for Parker, so that he may look back and see how much everyone loves him. For that reason, we hope that everyone writes comments so that Parker knows how many people care about him.
