The surgeons who were able to help Parker are truly special, and I am in awe of how they helped Parker to continue to improve. He is indeed a special little boy.
I’m a retired nurse five of my twenty year career we’re spent on an oncology unit ,however I would occasionally go to the NICU when the need arise. It was so difficult for me to see these little ones in pain I’ve been retired for 40 years now and I can still remember the beautiful babies that struggled to stay alive and the dedication of their amazing parents...thank you for this what an incredible story.
I grew up being in the hospital a lot, recovering from major surgeries and I still remember the wonderful nurses. Rosie and Toni were two of them who went above and beyond, during every surgery they were involved in. I’ve had dozens of surgeries and countless hospital stays and more often than not, the nurses pretty much treated me almost as if I was their own child. In the OR, they often held my hand until I fell asleep, while the anesthesiologist told a story. I’m very appreciative of people like the both of you. Thank you.❤
I didn't experience this birth defect but I did experience the loss of a baby girl at 3 weeks old due to severe HLHS and renal failure. Unfortunately she didn't make it home with me, just home with the Lord. I miss her everyday of my life. She would be 18 in 5 days.
He is gorgeous my child had brain surgery the day he was born... with an encephalocele... later he had a large brain tumor.. he too had a shunt...non stop seizures for 5 years... I understand y'all's life and send hugs...
Oh my goodness, unbelievable! The dedication & devotion of the doctors, nurses & most of all Parker's family shows what can be achieved by giving undivided love. Just a miracle.
I’m a patient at CHOA, they have saved my life many times. I’m headed there tomorrow morning for a spinal MRI to see how unstable my cervical spine is.
I don’t see how parents can endure this situation but Love covers all things. Im so glad he had those surgeries. He’s a beautiful child and has extremely brave , loving parents
Description says "recovery" and I wondered IF this sweet boys brain grew more and his capabilities improved. Hard to tell with the video, but it does look like he's better. I wish him and his parents a loving life.
@kaseymigliaccio2519 Did they say what their expectations were though? I would like to know more, not just that it was 'better than they expected'. At least we can see that he can laugh and interact with people and walk and play with toys.
I am going 2 assume that his brain grew normally after they released all the pressure and fluid from his skull. It takes alot of brain to walk, talk ect. I was thinking the same thing but obviously he has thrived and no seeming lasting effects.
@@MuhammadShayanSalman44 hydrocephalus is a hard diagnosis, it is fluid on the brain and will keep the brain from growing normally. Once the fluid is released there are high chances of brain development after but not sure if the child could have lasting affects or not. In the end only GOD knows and it's up to you if you want to take the chance or not. Everyone needs to do what they think is right for their children!
So sorry for this sad diagnosis. Hard to say what your dear babies future holds. I hope a quality of life that would be a happy outcome. Bless you and your family. And your baby. @@MuhammadShayanSalman44
What an adorable little guy!!! CONGRATS on this little miracle and GREAT JOB on getting him the help he needed! Prayers he will continue to grow and flourish on his life's journey
He is a gorgeous little boy and very brave you have a little hero their,and he has a very loving and caring mummy & Daddy. You make a lovely family. I wish you all the best.
This video skirts around what brain development happened after the surgeries, and what mental skills and abilities Parker has now. I would not expect 5% of a brain to be able to generate much if any growth in a newborn, even after the fluid was drained and the skull was opened. If I'm wrong, I'd love to know. Yes, he looks much better, he can walk, and he smiles a lot.
They treated me (Alports syndrome) in the late 2000s. I also remember Baby Noor, a baby girl from Iraq with spina bifida, who was flown over to CHOA while I was a patient there. Great facility, great staff, thanks for all you've done for kids.
Yes indeed he is a miracle. We owe so much to the skills of incredible Doctors. I am so happy Parker has battled through so much to become the bright little boy he is today 💙
I had an irrational fear of my (future) children being born with hydrocephalus. My gramma's oldest sister died shortly after child birth because her son was born with severe hydrocephalus back in 1940. Her baby died the following day. Compound that terrifying family history story my little southern gramma retold so many times with my mom being a nurse. She'd gone through nursing school in the late 70's & she'd kept all of the books. The pictures of babies with hydrocephalus were so graphic & so heartbreaking. I went through my first 2 pregnancies convinced they'd just missed it despite my babies being fine. So wonderful that medicine has come so far that little guys like Parker have a fighting chance for a normal life now ❤
My little Grandaughter was born with this. My Daughter had to do a GOFUNDME . She didn't get her helmet right as soon as she needed to start wearing it. Her head is still a bit bigger than normal, but she is doing well, at Kindergarten, she is a Brilliant child. When the Place that manufactures the helmets, My Daughter and her husband were informed it would be $3,000.00 eventually she had to have a second one, thanks to the Go Fund Me within 5 days my Grandaughter had her helmet.
God bless you Parker. You are a true m iracle. And a handsome young man. God bless the parents who never gave up hope. GOD. BLESS all of the medical staff who cared for Parker.
Hello Parker👋..So Wonderful to meet you!! GOD BLESS you and your Parents. They love you verymuch....and I hope the best for all of you! One more thing . Your just beautiful...have a wonderful life. I will keep you and your family in PRAYER!👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
An Average Potato no he’s not fine He is different from other kids but in the next 10 years he will be normal I don’t want to go into details because that would be rude
Not being judgemental but I am wondering how they paid for all that? My daughter went into debt at 18 after just getting an appendectomy! Glad he's doing good!
Hello there. I had a baby girl and she's now 21 days old. And just like baby Parker, she was born with severe hydrocephalus. Please how I contact with those great doctors??
I had a baby born with that as well as spina bifida. She died at 2 months. Nothing could done. That was 40 years ago. I am quite tired of all the should coulda. Each person situation is different. So shut up.
Sandra, there are many reasons a baby can or cannot have surgery. This dear mother mentioned that her daughter also had Spina bifida. Perhaps she wasn't strong enough to survive surgery. I pray that you may come to understand, and I pray for the mother of a daughter who had such a short life.
Thirty years ago for us. Our only girl. Angelica Monette. She had a heart defect and a diaphragmatic hernia as well. Nothing showed up on prenatal tests. We had no clue. She barely lived long enough for us to get to hold her.
The surgeons who were able to help Parker are truly special, and I am in awe of how they helped Parker to continue to improve. He is indeed a special little boy.
I was diagnosed with Hydrocephalus when I was 7 months old after contracting Meningitis & I'm 49 Yrs of age. God bless you young man 🥰🥰🥰
Are u done surgery
My son also hydrocephalus case 4 months age present but i have no money to treat suregry amount... 🥹🥹
My first shunt was placed at a month ol. My hydro was caused by aqurductal stenosis.
What is your current status
Oh he is a little miracle. Little Parker bless you and I wish the best of everything the world can bring to this little boy.
People like you are so wonderful. You gave this baby the love he so deserved.

Im also a retired nurse. I nursed baby Christina until she passed on. I considered it a privilege.

Man, these doctors and people in healthcare can be really amazing. Heroes.

Thank you for sharing. What is her name?

I'm so sorry. It's such a heartbreaking thing to,lose a child
God bless your baby girl and you ❤
I would love to hear an update on this child

Something so innocent should never have to endure such hardships.
What a precious little man. God bless Parker and his family.
He is gorgeous my child had brain surgery the day he was born... with an encephalocele... later he had a large brain tumor.. he too had a shunt...non stop seizures for 5 years... I understand y'all's life and send hugs...
Each child is an individual story, waiting to be told, and lived by the amazing young life that is there. So great to see this. Bravo.
I had a cousin born with this. She passed away when she was a toddler. This was back in the 90s.
Oh my goodness, unbelievable! The dedication & devotion of the doctors, nurses & most of all Parker's family shows what can be achieved by giving undivided love. Just a miracle.

Sweet baby, this warmed my heart.
what a sweet little fellow!!! adorable!
I was feeling sorry for myself because I have a bad cold and my sinuses hurt. This video brightened me up a bit.
well, since he's retarded,he wouldn't know he's sick, so don't feel bad for him.

My 3 year old cousin died from complications with her shunt. She was born with severe hydrocephalus. Was heartbreaking.

He is very cute and smart!
What are you putting this music on for it spoils it
This is utterly remarkable!

A beautiful child a lovely family. May The Creator keep you in loving Hands.
Hello there. I had a baby girl and she's now 21 days old. And just like baby Parker, she was born with severe hydrocephalus. Please how I contact with those great doctors??
amazing! a little boy doll!!
wooooww un verdadero milagro de Dios...y de los medicos q lo atendieron..hermoso angelito que se pudo recuperar..
My baby is this condition ,2 years old baby but neck control and eye control are not.
I had a baby born with that as well as spina bifida. She died at 2 months. Nothing could done. That was 40 years ago. I am quite tired of all the should coulda. Each person situation is different. So shut up.
Prayers for your Heart and your child's Soul.
So sorry for your loss
I disagree, I am 68 years old & knew a lady who was 6 weeks older than I am. She had a shunt installed at 3 days old.
Sandra, there are many reasons a baby can or cannot have surgery. This dear mother mentioned that her daughter also had Spina bifida. Perhaps she wasn't strong enough to survive surgery.
I pray that you may come to understand, and I pray for the mother of a daughter who had such a short life.
Thirty years ago for us. Our only girl. Angelica Monette. She had a heart defect and a diaphragmatic hernia as well. Nothing showed up on prenatal tests. We had no clue. She barely lived long enough for us to get to hold her.
You MEDICAL MIRACLE WORKERS ARE HIS ANGELS 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Adorable little boy
He’s adorable.
