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.

Its been a while

It has indeed been a while again since I have blogged. The last couple of weeks we have battled some colds and then yesterday we battled the flu (Carter did)...There really hasnt been too much going on. I am thinking we are on the road to recovery health wise..and am glad..Anytime Carter gets sick (throws up)...we have much more worry...He has a shunt and so one of the signs of a malfunctioning shunt it vomiting...and beings he has had 4 surgeries (all shunt related) we have good reason to worry! Carter is nearly back to his usual self tonight, I just pray its gone for good and doesnt make a second showing like I have heard it does!
We started playing Wii after a long absence and Carter is so much more observant that what we are doing ties in with the tv..its fun...he cheers us on and everything...tells us "nice approach" when golfing and more! :)
He has been of course doing lots of walking..I am excited for him to show off for his PT Barb, who hasnt seen him in a couple of weeks cause of sickness..I love watching him walk. He has also been requesting "Jammies" song (Go Fish) and "Monkey" song (five little monkeys jumping on a bed...) He knows practically all the words to these songs and many many more..Its truly incredible.
Camden is 5 months already! As I mentioned in facebook..hes no baby anymore...(okay, not completely!)..hes my little 18 pd 27 1/2 inch, rolling, cooing, smiling, laughing, cry if momma leaves the room, machine..I just love him..Did I mention his love of jumping? What would we do without his jumper!?
Anyways, not too much to report on. Normal stuff!

    As much as I want Ryan to be able to come to family Thanksgiving, I'm excited that if he can't I can come see you and those boys who are growing up way to fast. Muah! Call you this afternoon.
