Parker's Girlfriend

It has been a while since the last time I wrote an article and again I

do apologise. To be honest, not too much has occurred in the past

week. Parker did give quite a bit of blood last Wednesday, and his

neutrophils did decrease making him once again neutropenic. Well,

neutropenic in the sense that the particular vile of blood they tested

showed that he had less than 1500 neutrophils per unit of blood. That

said, no one seemed that too concerned about it. Parker will give

blood in a couple of days to see what his white blood count is at that

time.

Since things here in Italy have seemed to turn around for us in the

past month and a bit, it does look like we should be able to return

home to Canada near the end of this month. We are definitely looking

forward to seeing our family and friends again. It will still be a

long time before Parker can live a normal life but at least it should

be closer to normal by being at home. I know that Parker can't wait to

see his Nana and Gaga, and Nonna and Nonno again.

Parker really has not seen Francesco in the past while, but the same

can not be said about his two little friends from Ireland. In the past

week, his two little friends have started to pay more attention to our

little guy. Parker loves it when he sees them in the hallways and

always makes sure to dance for them and blow them kisses. It was a

couple of days ago that the older of the two turned to her mommy and

said, "I think Parker is in love with me". She then turned back to

Parker and started blowing kisses back at him. So as it now stands, it

seems as if Parker has his first girlfriend.

We have recently started Parker-proofing the drawers in our apartment.

Unfortunately, there are too many drawers for us to keep Parker out

of, so we still find ourselves chasing Parker around to make sure that

he is not pulling everything out of all the drawers.

I hope to write another article in the next day or so so that I do not

keep everyone waiting to find out what has been happening over here in

Italy with Parker, my wife and I. I am going to post another separate

article with only images so those of you who are interested in seeing
