Saturday Update on Parker Hodson

Saturday update on Parker Hodson from Tammy:

Parker is really struggling. This morning he woke up looking pretty chipper. But then his fever spiked out of the stratosphere and his oxygen levels started circling the drain.

They took him down for another x-ray, but they aren't sure if they are seeing anything or not.

The attending did say that sometimes as the virus dies, mucus in a child's lungs will move around different pathways. Depending on which pathways the mucus follows could be why he is cycling to such extremes.

They are looking at nitric oxide (sp?) and are working on getting in touch with Parker's cardiologist, Dr. Day.
Day is an amazing man. We are praying there is still another rabbit for him to pull out of his hat so Parker can come home to us again.
