First of all, I need to say thank you, thank you, thank you! The outpouring of love and support is overwhelming and so appreciated. Words can't describe the gratitude we feel for all the prayers and offers of food, babysitting, and anything else we might need. We are stronger because of you. Thank you!
Today was a good day at the hospital. We met another doctor that will be working with Carter and we really like him. After talking with him, we both feel pretty good. We know it will be a long hard road ahead but we're feeling confident. Tomorrow we will be talking in more detail about the different chemotherapy drugs he's on and how to take care of him once he comes home. Carter is responding to the chemotherapy just as they would expect. He's very active and enjoying his time at the hospital. He's loving all the attention and play time. He never wants to be in his room, he wants to wander the halls and hang out in the play room. He has discovered the awesomeness of Dumbo and now wants to watch it whenever he has to be in his room. He also has loved going for walks or "rides" as he calls them (pictured above).
He fell asleep sitting up and eating cheetos. He's seriously cute. Other than that, there's not much to update you on today. We're still waiting for the results from the bone marrow and spinal fluid tests. I'm sure there will be more updates soon, but for now, it was nice to have a fun day at the hospital with our little man. Jude got to go see his brother last night. He loved playing in the toy room.Again, thank you all for the kind words, prayers, love, support, food, everything. We are surrounded by amazing friends and family and are so grateful for all this help and support.
Hey guys! We are thinking of you constantly and praying for Carter and the rest of your family! Please call if I can do anything, and I mean anything! I'll try to get in touch with your compassionate services leader also since I'm sure your up to your ears in phone calls. We love you guys!
Look at Carter's SMILE!! He is so cute and sweet! I love the Cheetos picture the best! My kids would be in HEAVEN if they got to eat Cheetos in bed, I think Carter TOTALLY deserves it.
This is Dennison's Aunt Vicky. I just wanted you to know that we and all our children are praying for Carter and your family. I had a good friend whose son was diagnosed with leukemia at about 3 yrs. old. He went through all the chemo and personality and appetite changes you're describing. It was a rough journey, but he's been a typical healthy boy for many years now - He's in his early twenties. God bless you all.
Thanks for the update. I'm always thinking of you and have so many questions. I'm glad he can still have cheetos. He IS a brave little man. You all are. Love you all
We would realy like to do something, but we are so far away. I was thinking of putting a care package together. Please let me know what Carter likes and can have. Movies, T.V. shows, toys, puzzles, games, and characers. Please let me know if there is anything we can do.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the postings, we'll be checking it several times daily, no pressure though. (Maybe you should let a few more people be contributers)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie! It sounds like he's the same old Carter, even with all the poking and prodding. He's so brave!
