My nephew Parker is close to 2 months old. He is still in the NICU at the Children's hospital in Boise.
Recently, he had surgery on his stomach. The doctors are hoping this will help get him home and help with the acid reflux problem that is causing most of his issues. He had surgery on Tuesday and things seemed to be looking up.
After his surgery he was given a breathing tube to breathe for him to help him heal and use less energy breathing. It looked like his recovery was going well until something horrible happened. My sister was holding him and his heart rate dropped twice and the doctors called a Code Blue. They got him back and stabilized after some time.
The issue was some mucus that plugged the breathing tube and caused everything to happen. They gave him some pain medication and got him comfortable again.
I got an update from my sister this morning and the breathing tube has been removed. We are moving in the right direction. It looks like Parker may be coming home around the same time I am due with Collyn.
Being so pregnant, I am not able to make the trip to Boise, which is a little over an hour away to be with my sister and Parker. Facebook and phone calls have been our communication.
Keep Parker in your prayers! :)
