Just a little note

I thought I would post a little update. We are still on for surgery on May 18th. However, Karter is still struggling with his bronchial infection, he is quite wheezy and is coughing up quite a bit of mucous. We are finished the antibiotics today and will revisit the paediatrician on Wednesday. Because of all the coughing, Karter is having a hard time keeping his fluids and his medicines down. He gags and tend to bring it up. This is obviously something that we are watching carefully. He is not eating solids right now either, I suppose when I feel sick I don't want to eat though.

We are thankful that he has returned to sleeping through the night and taking regular naps, because of his difficulty breathing, he would wake frequently...oh and also becasue of his two new teeth...they are so cute!

On Saturday morning Karter was rolling over and over from his back to his side and then to his tummy. We were thrilled! Then on Sunday it was like he forgot how to do it. We are finding this quite frustrating and discouraging for both ourselves and for Karter. It is like he learns something new and then forgets and has to relearn it all over again. Our prayer for him is that he is able to retain what he learns from one day to the next. It is hard to watch him long to get up and play with his sister. You can see it in his eyes how he just wants to go. It just breaks our hearts.

Our prayer for him in that he is at very least rolling and sitting by his first birthday. Please pray along with us for complete health to be restored to his body both from this past sickness and also to his brain. We do well most day, but there are the odd days that we struggleand feel overwhelmed with the magnitude of Karter's issues. Please pray for strength for us and pray that we would continue to choose to be positive and thankful in all things.
