Here, once again......Parklen and I find ourselves in the hospital....Yesterday sucked....for lack of a better word.......If it could go wrong, it did. Parklen was miserable and it felt like the day lasted for an eternity. A procedure showed that Parklen's lungs are worse than they had even thought. Today they started some "vest" treatments. Parklen is strapped into a little vest, it fills with air and then it "wiggles" kind of hard, thus shaking loose all of the stuff stuck in his lungs. The first treatment did not go over well. He freaked out the entire time (add in some high dose steroids and it was HORRIBLE) Cool news is, he has to do them four times a day....even when we go home. They will be combining this with some other treatments. They still have some concerns with Parklen's blood tests, and have sent a bunch of them out to other hospitals....still waiting to hear on those. His main doc says it the best....."he looks bad" an
