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.

Getting more brave!

Carter hasnt been wanting to be in carts lately when we are shopping..He wants down so that he can work on walking... :) Its been great...Today at Sears he checked out lawn mowers, snow blowers and some refrigerators! LOL. We just kinda let him explore and broaden his horizon a little, within reason of course..
He started to get a cold this past wednesday..poor little guys nose is like a faucet....and so now his nose is sore...he doesnt want us to touch it! Benadryl gives him some relief at night but not really during the day (we dont want to mess up his sleep as it makes him very sleepy!)..I hope and pray he is about done with this cold..He did get a flu shot yesterday.
Today we got him a potty chair (portable)..and he went potty in it tonight for the very first time..he was really proud..Hes doing great going potty but I just need him to start saying "Mommy, I need to go potty!"...that would be awesome to have him start telling me.
Not too much to write about lately...Life has been pretty good.
