Today has been another great day for Karter. He is moving around a lot as he plays on the floor. Last night we had a bunch of people over and he was playing on the floor on his tummy and he got himself to bear all his weight on his knees. If he had the strength to lift his body up on his arms, he would have been on all fours. We all stood there stunned as we watched him try so hard, if there had not been five other witnesses, I don't think anyone would have believed us. He is also holding his head at a 90 degree angle on his tummy. These are both things that he wasn't doing before surgery.
We do find ourselves looking for the "new" things he is doing...even though we know this is a bit unrealistic at times :-). We were told it would take him about two weeks post surgery to get back to where he was before surgery. So needless to say, and as we have said before, we are amazed. Karter is eating, sleeping and doing all his noraml activites just as he had been before surgery and a few new things.
I will give you another update on his progress around the one week post surgery mark.

The wonderful thing about the family of God is that we encourage one another with our testimony of what God is doing, what He has done and what He will do. Those who wait for God's healing power to touch them are encouraged that God is in fact touching Karter and that because God is no respector of persons what He has done for Karter He will do for others. The good news of Karter's rapid recovery Blesses all of us.
Praise the Lord! We love you guys
Char, this is the first chance I have had to see Karter and all that has gone into his last few days.
It breaks my heart to see him in the bed post surgery, but my heart rejoices with you as he makes leaps and bounds to a full recovery!
We are praying for you and him, please keep us updated!
Thank-you for the update. Praise God that he is ALREADY learning and able to do more things so quickly.
I love the picture that you have of him...drool and all :P
