So Far so Good

Carter has been a trooper through all his many trials. The surgery was a success as far as we know. They removed the band from his PA and closed the big VSD. His first couple days after surgery he was a little sedated and didn't know what was going on. That made it a lot easier to leave him for the day knowing he would sleep through everything. Then he decided to wake up- so Ben slept with him one night while in the CICU..




Then (So I don't know how to rotate pics, but I needed an update of Tatum, her second dress and first time to church.) The top pic of Carter was the third day where he got his 3 chest tubes pulled (where the gauze is) and soon after this pic was taken he got his breathing tube out. What a happy Man he was! He is still quite a bit swollen- but is makes him look a little chunkier. He is going to have some awesome scars when all is said and done. Had to get a picture of him with the nurses from the CICU before they moved him upstairs... they just loved having him in there to take care of, so they say. And to the right.. Lincoln dressed like a big boy supporting Carter. He is becoming a real Tank and we LOVE IT!!
