Amber's Update on May 5 @ 1822: 

For those of you who don't know, baby Parker was brought to this world a bit early. Thursday morning I was having cramping and turned out I was in labor. Parker was born on 5/3/12 at 1125. Weighing only 2.1 lbs and 13.75 inches. He was stabilized at Nellis and then transferred to Sunrise NICU. He is intubated and has a lot of other things on board. But he is holding strong and doing well. Everyday will be different. The doctor said some days will be good and others will be bad. He will be here for a while since he is only 26 weeks and 6 days today. John and I are both doing well. Our spirits are high and we both are so calm about everything. We appreciate all the love and support from everyone!

Intro to Parker's Life

This blog if for our son John Parker Luke, whom we will be referring to as Parker.  He was born on the 3th of May, 2012 at 1125 in the Mike O'Callaghan Federal Hospital (MOFH) on Nellis AFB, NV.  He was born at only 26 weeks and four days of growth in his mother's womb since MOFH does not have a long term neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) he was transported to Sunrise Children's Hospital hours after his birth.  To all that read this blog, we will post updates on this condition, pictures and videos as frequently as we can.  We are truly grateful for your love and support of our little man and we want you to know that our Lord's hand has been seen in the reason he was born early.  We also know that the Lord's will will be done and we are accepting of what may come from this trial in our life.
