Taking a City Boy to the Country

So we took a city boy to the country last week and he fit in pretty well. You would have had no idea he was from the city except for when he was eating blueberries and he found one with a stem.....this was his response, "Gama, this blueberry has mulch on it." Too funny. Gama and I couldn't stop laughing.

Would had a great time visiting our Chiefland family. Parker just thinks that uncle Chuck is the coolest thing ever, especially when uncle Chuck made him a ramp for all his monster trucks. Parker also had the best time playing and swimming with Bridget. We could barley get the two of them out of the pool. They were like little fish. Parker also let her play golf and baseball with him. Us adults decided that Bridget better stick to dancing...hahaha. After that, Parker busted out his four wheeler. Bridget rode on the back while he drove. All was going well until they discovered the edges of the concrete. No, they didn't fall, they went up and down like there was no tomorrow...actually until it broke the four wheeler. As of today, the four wheeler is in the repair shop waiting for Papaw and daddy to check it out.

Yesterday (June 24th) Parker went for a follow-up visit at the pulminologist. She said his lungs sounded great. He is scheduled to go for another chest x-ray to check the progress of the pneumonia. They said it can take six to eight weeks, if not longer, for pneumonia to clear in the chest x-rays. They also did a number of allergy test. We found out that he is allergic to macadamia nuts, almonds, shell fish, peanuts (not enough for anaphylactic shock, but will cause rash and itch), ragweed, dust, dander and pollen. We are so glad (I am so glad) he is not allergic to Hunter. She said that according to his allergy test the fall and winter months will be the hardest for him. We also found out yesterday that he has lost another two pounds bring him down to 31 lbs, which means he has lost 7 lbs in less then two months. She did inform us that the liver has a lot to do with the enzymes that handle digestion and all. We go to see the GI on Monday and will discuss further. My hopes are that the liver has no permanent damage from the illnesses.

I hope that you all have a great weekend and I will update you again after Monday's visit to the GI.
