The Big Move

Carter was transported to Primary Children's Medical Center by ambulance today. It was quite the process to get this little guy into a small incubator, and get him there safely. He definitely enjoyed the ride, and slept for most of the way. The transport team was very sweet, and even took some pictures with a disposable camera of his ride down south. After I get them developed, I'll post some pictures of it. When we arrived, there were a slew of doctors waiting to see him. It's amazing how much faster paced this hospital is, and you wouldn't believe how many tests and exams he had today. He has a few more scheduled for tomorrow. The doctors decided to take him off of the other type of ventilator and put him on a high-flow prong mask. He definitely liked it a lot better, but it's pretty likely that he'll be on the old mask by tomorrow morning. Since it's a lot easier to hold a baby in a prong mask I got a chance to hold him for the first time since Friday night. It was awesome, and I wish that Michael would have had the chance to do it too. Unfortunately, Carter decided to have one of his episodes of holding his breath, so our cuddle time got cut short. The doctors also noticed that he has a dimple on his lower spine which they said could cause him to have trouble walking, or possibly paralyze him. Luckily, the ultrasound showed that this is not the case, and he shouldn't have any problems in that area. All in all, it was a pretty good day, and we really feel that he's going to get much better care at this facility. Tomorrow they will be doing a test on his Kidneys just to be sure that they are working properly, and he will also have a tiny camera check out his ears and throat. Hopefully we'll have more news on his hearing. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support.
