A response to a question..

Yesterday I was asked "How is Carter doing since last week?"...and I responded that he has been incredibly well since the last 'incident' we had on Wednesday. For those of you who follow, you know that we were all packed up and ready to go to Omaha last wednesday morning cause Carter was showing shunt malfunction symptoms. Well, let me tell you the events of that morning.
Cody depressed Carter's shunt bubble and it was extremely slow to refill..which was an 'oh no'...Cody went and showered that morning, came back up and again depressed Carters shunt bubble. This time it refilled much quicker. Praise the Lord! There was indeed, no doubt in our minds, a blockage in the tube that drains all the extra CSF fluid from Carter's brain...it had miraculously pushed through when Cody depressed his bubble..What a relief..Carter started acting like himself and by two hours later, you wouldnt have known the incident even happened. We know that God is faithful, even if we would have had to go to Omaha again, God is faithful. He is holding Carter in His hands, that is so clear to us. Just yesterday we visited a neighbor who is back in the area right now after being gone for a couple of years..She looked at Carter and said' He is doing good!"..It is so great to hear that from people! Carter is doing well! Yesterday a certain pretty young, blonde Occupation Therapist visited our house as she does every month and Carter did things for her with much more ease and you could tell she was thrilled! He did blocks, strang large beads on a straw type rope, did a piece of a puzzle, etc..Carter is developing..Comprehensively, Occupationally, Physically..and we couldnt be more happy for our son.
The other night Camden was sleeping in his crib already and Carter said "He's in time out in the boy's room!"...obviously thinking that Camden got a 'time out' since the bedroom door was shut..How funny!
Gross motor wise- let me update you. Carter still crawls..let me tell you that..He will crawl if he wants to...Yes, Carter CAN WALK...but Yes, Carter still falls down..But as my mom says "We don't know how Carter feels or how we would feel if we had a big pocket of fluid on our brains messing with our equilibrium. If you see Carter crawling, its because he knows his self and his capabilities at that moment better than we do..He may be feeling dizzy and so he crawls..but Yes, he does walk and is getting much faster at walking!
Thats all I have for now! God Bless!
