Quick Update
This week has been a crazy and stressful week! Steven and I have been at the hospital a lot and our poor boys have had a rough one. On Tuesday the opthomologist examined Carter and Easton's eyes and told us they both need surgery now. All in that same 30 minute time frame the neurologist told me that Carters ventricles have grow significantly and that if the grow anymore throughout the week he will need to have a surgery to place a shunt. I was totally shocked by this news. Everyone thought Carter was out of the woods for this procedure, he was not even being examined once a week like Easton had been. All I have to say was Tuesday put me over the edge!! My babies are big boys now and should not be having such severe problems at this point. I just have to keep telling myself that everything happens for a reason and heavenly father has a plan for my boys. Tonight as we left the hospital both boys where happy and on lower oxygen requirements than the day before so that was a positive. :) We won't know the outcome of the eye surgery until next wednesday but I sure pray its a good one! We will keep you posted about Carter. As of today his heads diameter has grown .5 cm. Please continue to pray for both the boys. We appreciate all the prayers and support. :) Sorry no pictures this week the boys eyes just look to sad! :(

I'm praying for you and your boys. The NICU journey is definitely not an easy one. I pray that the surgery goes well and that the ventricles stabilize or get smaller. Praying!
