His proud mother describes him as a “chatterbox” and a “loving child”, and it’s clear that he feels all the love around him – not only from his biological family but also from his family at the hospital.
Parker’s brother and sister, Chase and Emily, have also been great support. Growing up with a brother with special needs has made Chase and Emily advocate for those who may not get the respect they deserve.
“As parents, Crysie and I have come to recognize that having two children born without complications is in fact a true miracle. Parker’s story has created a family full of miracles,” Ryan and Crysie Grelecki said.
In September 2022, Parker will celebrate his 14th birthday. Even though he’s been through many things that most people won’t have to deal with in a lifetime, he has a lot of great years ahead of him. For a long time, Parker has dreamed of working as a sports commentator.
That brain with three pounds of fluid and less than 2% brain matter is the same brain that today is so intelligent and can remember endless amounts of sports knowledge. Parker has also tried his dream job several times – and he’s a natural talent.
Sometimes, he also helps out as an announcer for his local high school football team. According to witness reports, he’s amazing at what he does and Parker’s excitement during the games is contagious.
