He's a TROOPER



Parker has always been our laid back, go with the flow little guy
It's a good thing he was born this way because in his short little life (7 years), he has been through A LOT

Our little guy should have a fear of doctors but for some odd reason; he doesn't

We were sitting in the waiting room
 waiting to be called back for our appointment to get Parker's nose cauterized
Parker grinned and said, there's Dr. Simpson
This Dr. would soon be inflicting pain on my child but Parker loves him

As we continued to sit in the waiting room, 
I couldn't help but over hear the conversation between the Dr. and who I assumed was a patients wife
I could tell the Dr. was not happy and was trying to make himself heard
I heard it - but this woman was NOT getting it

Thankfully, we were called back and didn't have to hear any more
After hearing what we heard, I think we were both a little nervous
 that our child was going to be the next patient
I was praying the Dr. would come in and have everything put behind him

He did and we think he's the best

He ALWAYS greets us with a hand shake and his nurse explains EVERYTHING

Parker did AMAZING!

We were so thankful that the Dr. agreed to do the surgery in the office to bypass our deductible
We will still have to pay for the surgery but we won't have the huge cost of anesthesia 

Afterwards, Parker's throat and nose were very sore
We took him home and found that Spencer had made him a bed on the couch 
and even got him a drink and a piece of candy
(What a sweet big brother)

The night of surgery, I was reading to the boys
and all of a sudden, Parker fell
He was laying in bed, reaching for a toy and fell and hit his nose on the window
He scrapped up his nose but IT DIDN'T BLEED

We are a week out and Parker is doing fantastic
No nose bleeds this week
The real test will be in another week when we are done with the Vaseline

We're so proud of our little trooper!
