My Carter








Ijust have to post a picture of my sweet boy smiling. We haven't seen that smile in week. He's had a terrible flu ever since we came back from the cabin and has been throwing up for a week. He has laid and stared at the TV and has no life in him. After three days of this, he sat up and played a little and Emily said, "He's alive" like she was completely shocked that he might pull through. It was so sad. Then he mustered up enough strength that night to sit up long enough to give me a meek little "roar" when I sat down by him after he put his roar jammies on. That little roar made my whole day. It was a little sign that my happy boy was still in there...somewhere.

After this long week, we found out on Fri. that he is going to need surgery at Primary Children's as soon as they can get us in. Luckily, he is young enough that he doesn't get what's happenning and I am scared enough for both of us. I was talking to him and asked him if he wanted mommy and daddy to come with him to his surgery. He thought for a minute and said, yeah...and Santa Claus! I just love this little guy. He always makes me smile.

That's awful, Andrea. It's so hard for me as a mom to watch my kids be in pain. What is the surgery for?

Oh that's terrible. It's so, so hard to watch your kids be in pain or not feel good. Why does he have to go to Primary's for surgery? Keep us posted on your little guy.
