Parker was born with a list of diagnoses longer than he was. Each diagnosis started with the word ‘severe.’ Unbeknownst to me at the time, nobody expected Parker to make it to his first birthday. The fact that he is here today could be considered a miracle.
I love me a good miracle.
This kid has spent a lot of time in the PICU circling the drain and us thinking about having to say our final goodbyes. Thankfully, he pulled through.
I love me a good miracle.
Parker’s first right heart cath came back beyond severe. His second came back looking a little bit better. His third was back in the way too high zone. His fourth was improved.
I love me a good miracle.
There are many times when we aren’t sure where we are going to get the money to pay for something that Parker needs. And yet his needs are always met.
I love me a good miracle.
I hopes that Parker’s cache of miracles is no where close to empty yet.
I’d love to lay claim to one on May 6th, Parker’s next cardiologist visit. EKGs stress me out. Cardiologists stress me out. The news we get from EKGs and Cardiologists often stress me out.
I love me a good miracle.
I also love to hear about the miracles others have experienced. Especially if those others are Mamas to kids with special needs.
Oh, how I love this child.
So, like I said……I love me a good miracle. Take a moment and share one of YOURS with me. I promise to love it.
Not sure where to start our miracle story….my child were a one in a million shot ~ they were not born to me, were not carried for nine months were not even carried for 6 months by their mother, they weighed less than a pound each at birth, the notes in the medical records say they should not be alive, they should not have lived a week let alone the FOUR months they stayed in the hospital. They should not have come out of that hospital free of tubes and monitors, with no signs of their amazingly early birth but they did. They then said oh wait “that girl” has a problem and labeled it “severe” as well….she has a disorder no one could remember past TSC (the initials for it) ~ she will have tons of seizures and die before she is 20. She will not be worth anything, you my friend are her last shot. My husband and I said sorry we know she will be amazing ~ we said yes to her AND her twin brother. It has been 5 years, the only thing that can be labeled severe about our daughter is her ability to prove EVERYONE wrong
When God was handing out miracles she stood in line WITH her brother until they had received all the miracles she thought they needed ~ my 25 weekers have absolutely NO signs of being born at 25 weeks left; she has had ONE seizure in her life and that is it and she was too young to remember it she is on NO medication and other than our bi-yearly visits to the the doctors to be sure she is still not having any affects of TSC no one would know she has it; and remember that last hope those babies with ONE last hope have now been our children for 5 years….my God works in miracles and if you want to meet my miracle then she would be happy to tell you that is what she is
I love Parker’s Miracles as well
I am sure he still has more coming!
Thank you for sharing your story of your miracles. I LOVED it. xoxo
