UPDATE

Yesterday Parker returned to the hospital for more tests. A cardiac cathaterization was administered. Doctors could not find any underlying cause for the pulmonary hypertention but did find that the condition is much worse than they had originally thought.

The test seemed to over-stress his already compromised condition and he has since been on a ventilator. Every time they attempt to take him off the machine, he crashes. Things are looking very bleak at this point.

Jen's parents received permission to leave the mission and travel to Winston-Salem, so they are on their way today. Their moral support is exactly what Jen and Jason need. All we can do now is pray.
