Deep Breaths

The countdown is on until Carter's big day. We have been taking Carter twice a week for EKG's to make sure is heart is functioning well while he is off the Coumadin- so far, so good. We'll continue this for one month after surgery as well.

We had his pre-surgical lab work done yesterday- that was torture. Poor boy was screaming "don't touch me, doctor!". So unlike our mild-mannered boy. It's so much harder now that he is so aware for this surgery.

We so appreciate your prayers for our sweet boy!

Pray for Carter!

Carter is getting his tonsils removed on August 7th- everyone, please pray!  We are excited for him to get this surgery because he has been struggling for about 18 months now with strep throat, infected, painful tonsils, difficulty swallowing and difficulty breathing.  Carter has been on a blood thinning medication called Coumadin for almost three years now.  Tonight, we have to stop giving him this medication because he can't be on it so close to the big surgery date.  Please pray that he will be safe while he isn't taking the medication, there is a slight risk of stroke which is, of course, scary.
