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.

Since Sunday

Lord, I really wasnt kidding when I said that we couldnt take anymore with Carter...we really cant! I dont know what is going on, only You do Lord..Please help my son! We were just in Omaha yesterday for a checkup..which was much needed because of the noises that became more frequent starting on Sunday...He has had little uncontrolled noises, like pain cries we called tehm...Yesterday we let the neurosurgeon know and he has a suspicion that it could be seizures. Carter had been set up to have an EEG next friday the 18th back in Omaha..this will look at his brain waves and see what is going on, if anything.
Okay, so as of 45 minutes ago, Carter threw up on me, 3 times! He has NO fever again..I really am scared out of my mind..I wish I had more insight to this...All I know is something is NOT right..He is not the same little boy..these last 5 weeks have been hell for him and for us. Are we being tested, and if so why cant I be tested physically instead of my Carter? I am thinking a 4th trip to Omaha may be happening in the approaching hours...which is not good cause we are going to be having a blizzard I am told.
Will write more when I feel like my head is wrapped around whatever is going on.
