One thing is for sure

They say nothing is certain but death and taxes..well I believe that nothing is certain but the worries that come being a parent. As a parent I want the very best for Carter and for Camden....so when something doesnt go as I would like its scary, sometimes sad. Yesterday Carter fell off the couch, today the same thing happened...When will this lil' boy learn? Doesn't he know how scary it is for us as parents...Its the not knowing. We have had three shunt malfunctions since his shunt was placed at 8 days old, and I don't want a fourth! Anytime he falls and hits the back of his head, Its nothing but worry until he starts acting like himself. His shunt is the reason he is alive and doing so well BUT his shunt is also the reason I get worked up when he falls...Its metal! I dont like that he has metal in his head, but what can I do...the shunt has definitely helped Carter beyond measure.
Ok, on to other things. Carter is doing AWESOME at walking..I absolutely LOVE to watch him walk...The look on his face is great, how he says 'good job' to himself when he is done, etc. Carter has so much determination and I love that in him, I think that has helped his journey so far. His speech is great too, I have heard this from a few people that last couple of days..which is reassuring. I have heard that it is so much clearer, etc. Well this morning I had a woman from Dickinson County DHS come and go over things with the Ill & Handicapp Waiver for Carter and also another lady from CHSC come and let me know some things that we are eligible for..Thank you Ladies!)) I did find out that Carter can have his speech evaluated at this point and see if he is in need of more therapy or not...and medicaid will pay for this...yay!
Camden has been learning how to scooch! (sp?) He tries to scooch down in his glider and also his car seat and smiles while doing it! Its funny...Carter is already teaching Camden things...
Anyways, Carter wants to go out on the deck so I better go!
