We Have Moved! :)

We have had some big changes!  We are officially residents of Brandon.  We are all moved in, not unpacked, but we are moved in to our new home.  We absolutely love it and hope it will be the home Carter comes to visit us at in 30 years.  We are extremely excited about our new home, but we are more excited to announce that Carter is now being G fed!  He no longer has his GJ tube.  A couple of weeks ago I noticed Carter's GJ tube had flipped back into his stomach and was not feeding him directly into his intestines.  I took a deep breath and sat back and watched him for a few days.  I just knew we were about to make a quick trip to Cincinnati Children's Hospital for a new GJ tube.  Much to my surprise, Carter did no worse than he was doing with the GJ tube.  He was still only vomitting about two times a day and seems to be tolerating the feedings pretty well.

    I called our GI Doctor's in Cincinnatti and we came to the conclusion for me to change his GJ tube out and place a G tube at home.  I nervously gathered all of my supplies and changed the tube out.  It was uncomfortable for Carter, but he has since done really well.  It feels great to announce that he no longer is being J-fed.  He is being fed directly into his stomach and doing great!  Carter is doing better right now than he has in his entire life!  He is really thriving and enjoying life.  He has only had one small set back since being home, which was a small infection that he is getting over well.  God is so great and has really blessed Carter with health these past few months.  He loves our new house and has really started to explore on his own.  He is still hooked up to his feeding pump for 16 hours a day, but we hope this will change after our next visit with his GI Doctor's in September.  We were scheduled to go to Johns Hopkins this week, but have had some scheduling issues and have had to move our appointment to October. 

    I know without all of your faithful prayers I would not be able to write blog entries like this.  Your prayers have brought Carter through so much this past year and I will always be thankful.  Thank you so much for all of your faithful prayers and please keep them coming! As always...To Him be the Glory!!!

What he loves to do...RUN!
