Carter is Home!!! Carter's nurse gave us Carter's discharge orders at around 2:00, and he is now home. We're thrilled. You can't imagine all of the thoughts that go through your head when you hear your child is going to have Open-Heart surgery. Naturally you fight off, but prep yourself for the worst possible scenario. The joy we feel is inexplicable. We just want to thank everyone for the prayers and well wishes. He still has some recovery ahead of him, and further repairs to his heart may be needed, but his future is much clearer now, and we have so much to look forward to. We never imagined that in less than 72 hours after Open-Heart surgery Carter would have recovered enough to return home. Miracles do happen.
We love you!
