Carter's Story

My photo
This blog is a look into the life of our nearly six year old little boy, Carter. When I was just six months pregnant, an ultrasound detected that Carter's brain was missing its corpus callosum and he also had hydrocephalus. Doctors even told us that our little boy may not walk, talk, etc... but abortion was never a choice for us because we firmly believe that God does not make junk. We look at Carter now and praise God for the miracle he is! Carter loves to play, and he CAN walk and talk! Carter is continually proving himself to us, to our families and to his teachers. I have been priveleged to be able to stay home with Carter, Camden and Elliana since November of 2006 when Carter was born. I am so thankful I am here to hold his hand and face his challenges right along side of him. A mother's love only grows, this I know. Some days may be challenging but always worth it at the end of the day.

It feels like a monday...

Today feels like a monday...Maybe its the fact that I slept horribly last night or maybe cause its rainy and dreary outside this morning. Carter has been testing me this morning...hes been constantly getting in Camden's face..not giving him any space! I love my Carter but he is ORNERY this morning...! :)
We have been trying melatonin for Carter but it does not seem to be benefitting Carter at all...He still wakes up every night from what seems to be nightmares...It breaks my heart that he wakes up with horror in his eyes...This sounds horrible, but I still blame Omaha Children's Hospital after they let a student doctor try and do a spinal tap on Carter in January..he had 9- yes NINE pokeholes in his back when they brought him back...(they didnt put him out!-they held him down!)...More to this story ...but ever since this we havent gotten Carter to sleep well...I dont know what else we can do?...We keep thinking time will help but now its been 8 months and he doesnt seem to be sleeping any better.
Please pray for Carter. Thank you, Jessica
