i believe in miracles.

today i will be grateful....
it's funny how vivid our minds can recall certain events,
the sounds
smells....
words spoken
phone calls....
things that will change your life forever.

In the blink of an eye, six years ago today our family became a part of an association, club,
brotherhood...call it what you may, of something not one of us understood. We were thrust into an unfamiliar world of:

TBI

Air Med

Skull Fractures

Blood Clots

Trauma Doctors

Neuro Surgeons

Social Workers

ICP

Intracranial Pressure

PIC Lines

EVD

Glasgow Coma Scale

PCMC

PICU

Bolts

Manitol

BIAU

Our world revolved around numbers.....one minute at a time, five minutes at a time, days, weeks....brain pressure numbers.....dosages of medication.....It was a world we couldn't explain. Neal A Maxwell said it perfectly......"We endure.....When we can not explain." We watched as Sebastian died....baby George lived while waiting for a heart.....the baby boy waiting for a liver died.....Parker lived.....there is no explanation, other than a miracle and for Parker's recovery we will be forever grateful!

so many machines....
wires....
tubes....
such a test of faith.
only through the faith & prayers
of friends, neighbors and family
we were able to move a mountain....
here she is now.
absolutely perfect.
miracles happen..
anything is possible....
love you parks!

*please make time today
to bolt heavy furniture/tv's to your wall :)
