Meet Parker: Exceeding All Hopes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 тра 2016
- Born with craniostenosis and hydrocephalus, Parker underwent surgery, during which doctors placed a shunt in his brain to drain the excess fluid, allowing it to grow and develop naturally. When Parker was 6 months old, doctors began a series of craniofacial surgeries to correct the skull malformation. By the time he was 20 months old, Parker had undergone seven successful surgeries at Children's and was on his way to recovery.
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.
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.
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.
Something so innocent should never have to endure such hardships.
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.
Im also a retired nurse. I nursed baby Christina until she passed on. I considered it a privilege.
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.
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 ❤
This was 7 years ago, would love to see this amazing youngster now
There are pictures of him. He’s walking, playing tennis, talking, etc.
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.
Obviously he improved, if you watched the whole video from beginning to end then you saw how he was born and then the remarkable progress he made after surgery.... And you heard the doctor say that "Not only did Parker meet our expectations, but he EXCEEDED them " , meaning YES, he has improved and is developing well. 🙏
Adorable boy!
@@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!
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.
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.
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...
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
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 💙
Omg look how cute he is ... truly a doll❤️
People like you are so wonderful. You gave this baby the love he so deserved.
I bet he's so adorable. He sure was as a baby. I would love to see him after 7yrs. Old.
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.
Sweet baby, this warmed my heart.
what a sweet little fellow!!! adorable!
Wonderful family, so blessed. God gave him to the parents that would love and care for him, for as long as he lives!

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.
Hope you are doing well
Wishing you strength, health and healing. Bless you! 🌹
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.
What a beautiful boy, I love his hair. Hope his future is alot more settled for him and his parents 😊😊😊😊God bless😊😊😊
This is utterly remarkable!
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.
Oh my goodness, he's so adorable!
