Parker's New Heart

Life has been very full of big news since the beginning of this week. Lots of ups and downs. On Monday night we found out that Parker got a heart and it's been beating since 4:45 Tuesday morning. He's been doing very well, and will continue to be sedated. Cody and Lisa have been keeping a really good update on their blog if you want to check it out. For right now the pressure in the right side of his heart is too high, but is slowly going down. They will take a biopsy of the heart to see if it is being rejected even though they doubt that's the case because he's been doing so well. There have been a few scares though with lots of bleeding and some blood in his lung.

One of Paul's good friends, Shane just died. He was really sad to hear that. We also found out that Paul got the job at Home Depot that he's been waiting for. Yeah! He'll be a "packer" working 4-8 am and will start training on Monday morning next week.

For now we're going to drive down to Riverton for today and tomorrow to see family. We won't be able to see Parker because he's so weak and can't have visitors. We were sad to cancel a camping trip we had planned for this weekend, but it will be warmer in a few weeks, and maybe more people will be able to come.

Shayden is now 1 year and 3 weeks old and is learning like crazy.
