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.

Around the block!

Like sunlight burning at midnight, making my life so beautiful, beautiful! Carter makes my life beautiful.
I am astonished at his will and determination. We have a double stroller and lately Carter has been putting up a fight when I try and put him in it...Do you know why? You probably guessed it, he wants to walk HIMSELF!! And so last night we decided to let him go a long ways...and he did WONDERFUL! What a little miracle he is...He walked around a whole block!! And he only fell a couple of times...He even went up an incline! Cody and I were amazed at Carter's determination. Who would have thought a year ago that our little boy would be able to walk around the whole block!?!
Thank you Lord for all of Carter's accomplishments in this last year!! More to come later, family is calling!
