Praise Be to GOD!

Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him: tell of all his wonderful acts. Psalm 105:1-2

I just got off the phone with Dr. Carrasco, Parker's rheumatologist, and have fantastic news to share with all of you guys. Dr. Carrasco was placing the same phone call he placed to me exactly one year ago to the week, he was calling to discuss Parkers MRI results. After reviewing Parker's latest MRI images he came to the conclusion that for all medical purposes Parker is now in a medicated remission, meaning that for now there seems to be no traces of inflammation in any of his joints including the SI joints. He did say that there were small traces of fluid remaining and of course previous damage but that he never expected them to be this clear especially after only a year of infusions. We talked for a while about what a blessing this news was and how happy we both were for Parker to be able to continue his life for now without worrying about changing medicines or more surgery. This is a huge step in the right direction and although we all realize how quickly things can change for now we are choosing to celebrate! I give all the glory to God for answering all of our many prayers and give many thanks to you guys for all yours as well. For now Parker will be kept on infusions every 8 weeks and injections once a week. Now if only Jackson can be so lucky and sail through his surgery tomorrow and heal quickly we might all be able to relax for a while and if nothing else slow down the number of doctors appointments:)
