UPDATE

I think the best update I could post regarding Parker would be an email that Jen sent out to the family yesterday:

"Today marks the 15th day for Parker in the ICU. It has definitely been the hardest weeks of our lives, but we can't forget to take joy in small miracles . . . On Sunday night Parker smiled for the first time in 12 days. It was so wonderful to see that beautiful smile again! We weren't really sure what it meant but we decided to think of it as a small miracle. He has been very playful and still smiling frequently since then. Thank you all for you continued support and prayers in his behalf. We know the Lord is listening and we have felt Him with us constantly. We love you all." Jen

The doctors are still waiting to see if the swelling in his airway will go down some more before attempting once again to remove the ventillator.
