The past few days have been full of ups and downs for Carter. The PCA pump has been such a blessing, it has really helped keep his pain under control. Carter wanted to sit up for a few minutes for the first time today, although I think he may have pushed himself a little too much. Not long after sitting up he started crying and went to sleep, he and has been asleep since. Carter actually had a little stool this morning, although it came out when he was vomiting and he has not had any since. The Doctor's are still hesitant to start feeding him. He has continued to vomit multiple times per day. We are praying this is due to his bowels just not waking up yet and not a sign that the surgery did not work.
We are praying this surgery works. Listening to the Blair E. Batson raidoathon online has made us a little homesick. It being March first today made me realize we have spent the entire month of February in the hospital. I guess I should say Carter spent the entire month of February in the hospital. I feel guilty that he has to grow up in the hospital. I know it is in his best interest, but it still stinks. Monday marks seven straight weeks of being in the hospital, although it is all worth it if Carter can come home well! Please continue to pray for Carter. Pray for Carter's bowels to heal and start to function. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers!
I want to say a BIG thank you to Lambert's Healthcare for bringing awareness to O.E.I.S Complex on rare disease day. To check out their blog post about Carter and their business click here...

ReplyDeleteJust read your lastest post on Carter. I've been praying for him and will continue to and for the entire family as well. It's wonderful to know that there are people who are helping to raise awarness so that others will know what to look for. Praying you will be home soon.
