Parker Rilk

Kelly and Corey Rilk were very excited in 2012 to find out that Kelly was pregnant with a boy, named Parker. Parker's due date was set to be on May 31, 2013. As parents, they never imagined that their son would arrive prematurely. However, Parker did arrive at 30 weeks on March 22, 2013 by emergency c-section. Whisked away to the NICU the Rilks were unable to see their son for the first day of his life. He was born at 3 lbs. and needed to be in an incubator to be monitored. The next 6 weeks Parker spent in the NICU trying to gain enough strength to go home to be with his parents. Bringing Parker home was a very surreal feeling for the Rilk family and they are happy to announce that today Parker is a healthy little boy. The Rilk family is excited to be the 2015 March for Babies Ambassador family in the Susquehanna Valley region because they want to be able to help other families who are going through similar situations. "We want to show them they are not alone, and even though it feels like you and your child will be in the NICU forever, you won't be. Take advantage of the resources around you and don't give up hope. We have empathy for other families," states Kelly Rilk.
