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.

Sickness in our house! :(

Ever since Carter's surgery two weeks ago, his throat has not been quite right...I blamed the intubating him...at first..Well, last saturday his cough clearly became worse and still a week later, today, is not better...I took him to the doctor on monday and they put him on a nebulizer and also z-pack...you would think that it would have worked by now, but he keeps spiking fevers and coughing ALOT. He is afraid of the nebulizer and if I even say the word, he says 'all done'..poor little guy has been traumatized and knows that this is medical equipment. :( He seems to do pretty good in the days, no fever or anything, but then he spikes at night...102 to 103..YIKES. I do not like that....tylenol, ibuprofen.
We had a great Thanksgiving, despite not being in tip-top shape...It was a good day. Cam had his first thanksgiving...wow, is he growing up fast! He is already 6 1/2 months! Hard to believe. Camden has been doing so much better on rice cereal, too...Learning how to swallow better and even opening his mouth for Cody or I! :) He has been really getting his 'butt up' when on the floor...and even goes on all 4's occasionally...which is really exciting to watch. I sometimes have to just let him get mad on the floor, cause thats when he does his best work, lol :)
Not too much is going on as of now...just praying that my boys can return to full health..its not fun having them cough all the time.
O, I should mention Cody and I did go out yesterday for Black Friday..not at 3-4-5 am like some people, but we still were blessed to find and get all the items we were looking for! Some of the items were the last one too! We are all done shopping, for each other and for others, what a great feeling that is! We both know what we are getting for each other for Christmas, but oh well..We should like the gift then!
More to come! Lata~ Jessica
