May God Bless You

Well, today was filled with some good and bad news for our little boy. I'll start off with the bad and end on a good note. Carter's white blood cell count was higher than it should have been with the latest blood test. We asked the nurse and doctor why that was and they said it was a probably an infection. They are not sure from what, but they are taking precautions by giving him an antibiotic. The doctor actually said that the numbers didn't add up so he wanted to have his blood tested again. When the results came back, the count was still high. We also had a hard time keeping a colostomy bag on today. We changed it at least twice today which did not make him a happy baby. So Carter was pretty fussy all day today which made it frustrating for mom and dad who tried what they could to comfort him. The good news is the doctor said he could now breast feed and get as much as he wanted. Mom and Carter were very happy with this decision. And when mom and baby are happy, daddy's happy. It didn't take long for the old pro to pick up where he left off. Carter ate like a champ and loved it.
His Grammie, Aunt Faith, Cousin Morgan, Aunt Becca, Grandpa Gerald and Grandma Linda, Grandma Cheryl, and Aunt Sherry all came to visit him today. Wow! What a popular little guy!
I wanted to end today's posting by letting you all know how much we appreciate your continued prayers for our family. I know that everyone has busy lives but we are constantly amazed and thankful for the comments we read every day. It means so much that you all take time to pray and leave messages for us. We do not take that for granted. We are very grateful and ask for continued prayer for Carter's healing.
