Home & Healing

We are home and Carter is healing very well. Colby and Caitlin were pleased to see their brother return in much better shape than we he left abruptly for surgery in Florida. Carter is "all put back together again" and though it was a disappointing setback, we are back on track and things are looking up!

I had a hard time deciding if I should to post pics of his leg after the break, the whole thing was rather emotionally draining and I just wanted to forget it. But, I've been faithful at recording his story and well, this is an important part. The pictures are hard to look at, you can see the metal rod pushing against his skin at the top of his leg and that bump that looks like his knee- yeah, it's not- but rather where the bone had broken.

Today actually marks the one week anniversary of the whole debacle and, truthfully, we are doing much better than I ever would have imaged (especially if you'd asked me last Sunday when I felt like our world was crashing around us). We were reminded, once again, that Carter has been blessed with an amazing strength, that our family can get through hard times together and that our prayers are answered!
