Home

We got home around 7:00 tonight. Carter is doing well and trying to sleep right now. To say we are exhausted is an understatement. Let hope this is the last surgery Carter has to go through for a very, very long time! He is the bravest little man I know. The house sure is lonely and empty feeling with Mom and Dad gone. We miss them like crazy, and I am sure tomorrow by myself will only solidify that feeling. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes for Carter, we all feel loved. Goodnight!!

PS: Having an 11 month old in restraints constantly sucks. Really sucks!

PPS: We had 99 visits to the blog yesterday. Fun fact I guess, but really people could we not have gotten just one more???

Waiting on the paperwork to go home!!! :)

Still waiting to see if we get to go home today. Carter is doing well, ready to get out of this place. He has eaten 6 ounces of milk today, so we will see if that is good enough.

I would hate for you all to wake up and not have new pictures of my little man, so here you go. Last night was rough for Mommy, but Carter tried to sleep really well. His pain seem to not be too bad this morning, and he actually gave me kisses when I got him out of bed. I snuggled in his neck for the first time in 2 months! It was amazing. We just have to get him eating now. They cut the stitch out of his tongue this morning, so that should help with wanting to eat. Did you know we can start him on a regular bottle at any time now??? Yeah, no more 25 dollar nipples!!! Anyways, we are still hoping to go home today, but it wont be till probably later. I will keep you updated!!!

There's my man just now. We are so proud of him, he is a strong little boy!!!

Carter is out of surgery and we are up on the floor. Just working on keeping him breathing well and controlling his pain. It might be a long night.

Repair

Carter is in surgery right now. He did wonderful again going back with the anesthesiologist. Right before the surgery, I asked Dr. Muntz to clean out his ears for me. It was a good idea, because when he did it, a lot of fluid came out of both ears. So, they are also going to put in tubes along with taking out the distraction pins, and repairing the palate. He is our little trooper, and we are super proud of him!!!
