Thank you for all the prayers, phone calls, and goodies! We are doing well...just camping in the hospital room. Carter is doing well. His foot is getting much better, the swelling has gone down quite a bit and he actually walked a little this afternoon. The doctor told us to plan on being her at least until Wednesday so we are just trying to keep Carter entertained. We won't ever really know how he got this infection...he doesn't have any open wounds so it's just a mystery. We are very thankful that he is reacting well to the antibiotic and that they caught it when they did.
When we do go home, I am going to be the psycho mom that carries antiseptic and bandaids everywhere. Will you continue to pray for Carter as he heals...that he can stand the IV at least until Wednesday and pray for energy for the rest of us! Thanks! God is good all the time!
What a day...
We began the day with a doctors appt. thinking Carter had a sprained ankle. It is ending in the hospital room...which we have made into our home for awhile and where I can't go to sleep right now. What a stressful day it has been! For those of you that deal with children and doctors all the time...I have lifted up numerous prayers today for you.
After labs, x-rays, and a MRI, Carter has a serious infection in his foot/ankle. Our doctor told us to plan on being in the hospital one week but we could be here up to four weeks. I can't even imagine how we're going to keep a 3-year old (that doesn't even like TV) here one day!
The Lord has been so faithful! My first prayer was just "Lord, take care of my baby!" and he has done that. Then I started praying "Lord, please don't let me cry in front of Carter" and he did that. Then I prayed "Lord please let him be okay with getting and IV" and he took care of that. Then it was "Please let him lay still through the MRI" and he did. Then the one I was praying all day "Lord please let it NOT be something terrible" and it's not...he will be running and playing ball again before we know it. God is faithful to us!
And our wonderful family and friends...we have had Averi taken care of all day, tons of food, phone calls, toys galore for Carter, and I went home to find a freshly mowed yard. We are beyond blessed!
To all the moms...hold your baby tight and thank God for them tonight!

Getaway
The kids and I had a wonderful getaway with my parents last week. We went to San Antonio and got very spoiled! We rode the boat, the train, go-carts, just about everything kids can travel on. We spent lots of time on the Riverwalk, did a little shopping, some swimming, lots of eating, what more can you ask for!
Zoo
We went to the San Antonio zoo and loved it! It was so wonderful...a little better than we are used to! We loved the kangaroos and the elephants but the hippo was really cool. He swam right up to us and he was HUGE! Carter loved feeding the birds nectar. It was a blast!
Firsts
Averi said her first sentence today and although I'm probably the only one who would know what she said...I will always remember it. She came running in the house with big tears, "Mommy...Mommy...Carter's not nice!" or more like "arter's not ice".
